Initial Start-up Instructions (Electric Motor)

Starting

CAUTION:

DO NOT attempt to operate the mixer until the Safety, General Information and Inspection sections have been read and understood.

1.Before starting, make sure mixer is positioned on a secure flat surface to prevent tipping.

2.Use an extension cord (see Table 5) of adequate current carryingcapacity,insert theelectricmotor'spowerplug into one end of the extension cord.

3.NEVER! use a worn or frayed extension cord.

4.NEVER! operate mixer withV-belt cover removed.

5.Plug the other end of the extension cord into a 120 VAC G.F.C.I.protected receptacle. Rememberthepowerrequire- ments for this electric motor is 120 VAC, 60 Hz. The use of any other input voltage will severely damage the motor.

WARNING:

ALWAYS read the label on the electric motor before applying power. The label will indicate the proper power requirements for the motor. Remember the use of any other input voltage will severely damage the motor.

WARNING:

To prevent tripping (Figure 18) of both the mixer and personnel, position the extension cord so that it lays flat and is not curled underneath the mixer.

DANGER

NEVER! touch the power cord (Figure 17) with wet hands or while standing in water when it is connected to a power source.The possibly exists of electrical shock (electrocution) even death. NEVER! spray

water directly on the electric motor.
