ADJUSTMENTS

Agitator Clearance

The agitator clearance should be checked periodically. The agitator must not touch the bowl and the maximum clearance between the bottom of the bowl and the B flat beater is 1/8" (3 mm); the maximum clearance between the bottom of the bowl and the ED dough arm is 5/16” (8 mm).

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 screws. Refer to Adjust the Bowl/Agitator Clearance.

Measure Clearance

Pour enough flour 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), briefly run the mixer at the lowest speed.

Turn off the mixer, disconnect the electrical power supply, and measure the depth of flour 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 (which is secured by screws).

Adjust the clearance by moving the stop screws counterclockwise to increase the clearance or clockwise to decrease the clearance.

• After the adjustments are made, replace the
