PADDLE SHAFT BEARING

The paddle shaft in the Essick Mixer rotates in sealed ball bearings requiring no additional lubrication.

BEARING BRACKET

Grease the bearing bracket every month.

COUNTERSHAFT

The countershaft rotates on two self-aligned pillow block bearings. Grease these every 40 hours using grade #1 Lithium Base grease.

GEAR ALIGNMENT

The countershaft and driven pinion are mounted on a slotted base. To align gears, loosen pillow block mounting bolts and move them until the necessary alignment has been made.

GEAR LUBRICATION

The surface of the pinion and the bull gear should be very lightly greased every 250 hours.

IMPORTANT! AVOID OVER-GREASING.

IMPORTANT — DRUM HEAD SEAL CARE

On each end of the mixing drum is a drum head containing self adjusting paddle shaft seals. These seals consist of packing rings, split glands and spring actuated adjusters. A properly maintained seal prevents material from working around the paddle shaft, causing excessive wear. The following is a suggested procedure of maintenance for protection of the paddle shaft and bearings:

A. Keep the drum head clean of plaster built up, so the spring adjusters will be free to work.

B. Replace with one new ring of packing and waterproof grease when split gland or pressure plate is about to bottom out against the end of the drum.

New Packing

When the old packing is to be completely replaced, coat shaft and packing generously with a good grade of waterproof grease and insert packing rings. Tighten the two spring adjuster nuts on each end until the spring is compressed to 1¾ inches or the top of the adjusting nut is even with the top of the drum head.

Also, whenever the paddle shaft is removed, new waterproof grease should be packed around the ball bearings in the drum heads before reinstalling the shaft. Fill the cavity completely.

DRUM GRILL

The drum opening is covered by a steel grill that is hinged for easy cleaning. This grill should be closed at all times when mixer is in use. Do not remove the grill or grill opening bar. Keep the grill clean by washing it down daily.

CAUTION: Stop the engine before allowing anybody to put their hands in the mixing drum.
