Maintenance Instructions:
Always start the motor before loading the mixer. To gain access to the motor ensure the motor is switched off and remove cover.
The unit must be unearthed when operated with an electric motor. Avoid using more than one extension cord.
If an extension cord is to be used, it is recommended that a splash proof connector be used and kept well clear from any water.
Since extension leads will cause a voltage drop, it is essential that the conductors in the lead conform to the following specifications: 1-25m long - conductor diameter = 1.5mm 25-50m long - conductor diameter = 2.5mm If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Always keep the electric motor free from water and moisture. Do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.
BELT TENSION Check belt tension every 20 hours of running time. To adjust the belt tension, loosen the bolts on the motor mount clamp and allow the motor to lower. Tighten bolts when tension is correct. The belt has the correct tension when it gives a lively resound when drawn aside and released, whilst a slack belt feels lifeless. If the tension is too low, slipping may occur causing wear and tear to the belt and pulley. If the belt is too tight, it may cause excessive wear to the bearings. Do not attempt to adjust belt whilst the mixer is running.
LUBRICATION When purchasing this mixer, the arm section should already be filled with grease. Westmix uses Valvoline multi-lube lithium 2 ep grease or an equivalent. Regularly check and when required, apply grease through the grease nipples located in the arm section. Grease can be applied until it appears through the bearings or overflows through the nipples. When applying grease to the pinion/shaft area, loosen the bolts on the mixer arm mount to maximise grease coverage. Tighten bolts once the reservoir is full.
