2. Lower bowl support.
3. Remove the agitator from the agitator shaft.
4. Open the bowl clamps.
5. Lift the bowl off the pins and remove from the bowl support.

WIRE CAGE ASSEMBLY
The bowl guard wire cage assembly can be rotated out of the way to the left to add ingredients or to access the bowl and agitator.
Note how the plastic carriers allow the wire cage to ride around the circumference of the planetary drip cup.

• Open the bowl guard wire cage; rotate it to your left (Fig. 9).
• Close the bowl guard wire cage; rotate it to your right until it stops in the closed position (Fig. 10).

NOTE: The bowl guard wire cage must be returned to the closed position for the mixer to operate.

Remove and Clean Bowl Guard Wire Cage
Lower the bowl. Rotate the wire cage assembly to the left until it is positioned underneath the splash guard. Remove the agitator and bowl.
While holding the wire cage assembly with both hands, rotate it completely to the left. When the front-center retainer (Fig. 11) reaches the end of its travel, it can be lowered through the fl at (Fig. 11) on the ridge of the drip cup (Fig. 11). After lowering the front-center retainer, move the wire cage assembly slightly to the rear so the rear retainers clear the ridge on the drip cup. The wire cage assembly can now be lowered and removed.
Wash the bowl guard wire cage assembly in a sink, rinse with clear water, and dry with a clean cloth.
The splash guard can be wiped off and/or washed with a cloth or sponge using warm, soapy water. Rinse with clear water and dry with a clean cloth.

Reinstall Bowl Guard Wire Cage
Hold the wire cage assembly so its top ring is positioned around the planetary drip cup with the grooves in both nylon rear retainers straddling the ridge on the drip cup at the rear. Lift the wire cage assembly so the front-center retainer passes up through the fl at on the ridge of the drip cup and rotate the wire cage assembly to the right. The wire cage assembly is properly assembled when all three retainers straddle the ridge on the drip cup in three opposed locations. Rotate the wire cage assembly to the right until it stops at the front-center position.
Rotate the wire cage out of the way to the left to install or remove the agitator and bowl or to add ingredients.
Return the wire cage to its front-center position to operate the mixer.

AGITATORS AND ATTACHMENTS

CLEANING

warning
Unplug machine power cord before beginning any cleaning procedure.

The mixer should be thoroughly cleaned daily. DO NOT use a hose to clean the mixer; it should be washed with a clean, damp cloth. The base allows ample room for cleaning under the mixer. The apron (Fig. 1) may be removed for cleaning by loosening the screws. The drip cup (Fig. 1) should be wiped clean. For cleaning the bowl guard wire cage assembly, refer to page 11.

MAINTENANCE

warming
Unplug machine power cord before beginning any maintenance procedure.

LUBRICATION

Slideways
The slideways (Fig. 12) should be lubricated approximately twice a year. To reach these areas, fully lower the bowl support and remove the apron (Fig. 12), which is secured by screws. Wipe a thin coat of Lubriplate 630AA on each slideway. Install the apron.

Planetary Seal
Occasionally, the planetary seal (Fig. 13) may become dry and begin to squeak. To correct this, work a little lubrication (mineral oil) under the lip of the seal.

ADJUSTMENTS

Agitator Clearance
The agitator clearance should be checked periodically. The agitator must not touch the bowl. The maximum clearance between the bottom of the bowl and the B fl at beater is 1/8″ (3mm).
Install a bowl and agitator (e.g., beater). If the bowl and beater come into contact before the bowl support reaches its stop, adjust the stop screw. Refer to Adjust the Bowl/Agitator Clearance.

Measure Clearance
Pour enough fl our in the bowl to cover the bottom of the bowl where the beater travels. With the bowl fully raised (beater should not touch the bottom of the bowl), briefl y run the mixer at the lowest speed.
Turn off the mixer, disconnect the electrical power supply, and measure the depth of fl our where the beater has traced a path. This measurement should be taken at several points around the bowl to assure accuracy.

Adjust the Bowl/Agitator Clearance

• Remove the apron (Fig. 14), which is secured by screws.
• Adjust the clearance by loosening the stop nut and moving the screw (Fig. 15) clockwise to increase the clearance or counterclockwise to decrease the clearance.
• After the adjustments are made, tighten the stop nut and replace the apron, and secure it with the screws.
• Carefully operate the bowl lift several times to check the adjustment.
