Gravimetric Batch Blenders w/Mitsubishi Control Chapter 2: Functional Description 27
Twist Cap Plug Connected to Each Auger Motor (Auger Blender only)
The cap plug must be turned counter-clockwise to loosen and the female end of the cord
removed from the motor plug. This disables the motor from turning while the auger unit is
being serviced or cleaned. The motor cords are cut to length so they must be disconnected
before the auger can be removed from the housing. Disconnect plug before cleaning or
servicing motors or augers.

Electric Safety Interlock Switch (All Models)
A unique electric safety switch is used to shut off power to the blender any time the mixer
door is opened. Do not alter or tamper with this switch in any way.

WARNING! Always disconnect and lockout all electrical power and pneumatic (i.e. compressed air)
sources prior to servicing or cleaning the Slide Gate/Auger Blender. Failure to do so
may result in serious injury. No one but the person who installed the lockout may
remove it.
