7.1.2 PLANETARY SEAL. Occasionally, the planetary seal (Fig. 18) may become dry and begin to squeak. To correct
this, work a little lubrication (mineral oil) under the lip of the seal.
7.1.3 BOWL LOCKING MECHANISM.
Bowl Locking Mechanism should be lubricated after cleaning. Clean only if sticking or hanging up.
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.
7.2.2 TO MEASURE THE AGITATOR 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.
