4. Tighten the hub mounting screw.

Mixer Capacity Chart

When mixing dough ( pizza, bread or bagels), check your “AR” absorption ratio – water weight divided by flour weight.
Above capacities based on 12% flour moisture at 70°F water temperature. If high gluten flour is used, reduce above dough batch size by 10%.
Example: If recipe calls for 5 lb. of water and 10 lb. of flour, then 5 divided by 10 = 0.50 x 100 = 50 %AR.

• 2nd Speed should never be used on mixtures with less than 50% AR.
  When calculating the correct size mixer for your application, here are some helpful weights & measures:

• 8.3 lb. = 1 gallon of water – 2.08 lb. = 1 Quart.

Standard Accessories

Optional Accessories

NOTES:

• Any agitator is easily installed by simply raising it onto the mixing axle, and the rotating it clockwise on the shaft until it locks into place. To remove, raise the agitator on the shaft until it clear s the lock and then rotate counter-clockwise and lower.
• All of the accessories are precisely fitted to the bowl, have rounded corners, and are easily removable for cleaning.
