Agitator Clearance
The agitator clearance should be checked with each bowl change. The agitator must not touch the bowl. The maximum clearance between the bottom of the bowl and the B Flat Beater is 1⁄8"; the maximum clearance between the bottom of the bowl and the E or ED Dough Arm is 5/16".
Install a Bowl and Agitator. If the Bowl and Beater come into contact before the Bowl Support reaches its stop, adjust the Stop Screw upwards following the procedure below.
To Measure the Clearance
Pour enough flour in the bowl to cover the bottom of the bowl where the beater travels. With the bowl fully raised, briefly run the mixer in Speed 1.
Turn off the mixer, DISCONNECT 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.
To Adjust Bowl / Agitator Clearance
•Remove the Apron (which is secured by 4 thumbscrews).
•Loosen the Locking Nut on the Stop Screw (Fig. 7), turn the Stop Screw counterclockwise to increase the clearance or clockwise to decrease the clearance.
•Tighten the Locking Nut while holding the Stop Screw.
•After adjustments are made, replace the Apron.
•Reconnect the electrical power supply.
•Carefully operate the bowl lift several times to check the adjustment.
