Aligning and Leveling Mixer
Aligning the Struts
1. Make sure that the power is removed from the mixer.
2. Remove the top cover of the unit. Save the screws.
3. Check the inner frame and struts by grasping the frame at the top.
Vigorously rock the frame back and forth to see that all struts move freely on
their supports. No kinking in the springs should occur at the bottom of the
struts. The shake frame will return to the center position and appear level
when it comes to rest.
4. If one or more of the struts is not seated properly, it (they) can be realigned
as follows:
• Remove the upper rear cabinet (sheet metal covering). See Figure 5,
“Removing the Mixer Covers” on page 27.
• Raise the inner frame closest to the unseated strut. The frame should be
high enough for the strut pin to clear the strut body.
• Carefully lower the frame while guiding the pin into the strut body. Take care
not to raise the frame so high that the other struts become unseated.
Aligning and
Leveling
Mixer
• Repeat this procedure for each misaligned strut.
5. Move the mixer to its permanent, leveled area. Leave ample room around
the paint mixer to facilitate maintenance and safe operation.
Leveling
Although the mixer is leveled by the manufacturer, variations in oor surfaces may
necessitate further adjustment.
Improper leveling may cause severe damage to the
paint mixer when in mixing operation.
WARNING
1. Level the mixer by adjusting the 4 feet as necessary.
2. Lock the feet into place by tightening the lock nut to the frame insert.
