INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the mixer, check for possible shipping damage. If this machine is found
to be damaged after unpacking, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of
delivery.
Prior to installation, test the electrical service to assure that it agrees with the specifications on the
machine data plate.
LOCATION
Place the mixer in its operating location. There should be adequate space around the mixer for the user
to operate the controls and install and remove bowls. The area above the mixer should allow the top
cover to be removed for routine maintenance and servicing.
Holes are provided in the base for permanent bolting to the floor, although this is not necessary in
normal installations. Four plastic plugs are supplied with the mixer to plug these holes if they are not
used.
Once located, the mixer must be leveled.
Remove the top cover screws and the top cover.
Place a level on the machined surface of the transmission case (Fig. 1) and slide shims under
the legs (base) of the mixer as required to level it front-to-back and side-to-side.
Do not replace the top cover until installation is completed.
