Equipment Description

The Groen TA/3 assembly is an electrically powered mixer with dual counter rotating agitators, which is incorporated into Groen kettles of 40 to 80 gallon capacity. The main agitator is anchor type and of tubular stainless steel and ﬁtted with scraper ﬁngers. Both the scraper ﬁngers and the agitator assembly are easily removed.

The secondary, counter rotating agitator is constructed of stainless steel and is easily removeable. The mixer has a variable speed drive with electrical speed control.

For a description of the kettle component of your cooker/mixer, see the separate kettle manual.

Installation

WARNING

TURN OFF POWER AT THE CIRCUIT

BREAKER PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.

THE MIXER MUST BE INSTALLED BY

PERSONNEL WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO

WORK WITH ELECTRICITY. IMPROPER

INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN INJURY TO

PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO

EQUIPMENT.

ANY MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL

CHANGE MUST BE APPROVED BY THE

GROEN FOOD SERVICE ENGINEERING

DEPARTMENT.

WARNING

TO PREVENT POSSIBLE ELECTRIC SHOCK,

GROUND THE UNIT AT THE TERMINAL

PROVIDED.

Your Groen mixer has been test operated at the factory and is furnished with all internal wiring. It is complete and ready for ﬁnal connection. A wiring diagram is furnished at the rear of this manual.

A. INSTALLATION

1. Set the cooker/mixer in place and level it. If the mixer is a tilting model, conﬁrm that there is enough rear or side clearance, depending on model, and overhead clearance to tilt the mixer safely through its entire tilting range. Provide enough clearance to permit access for service as well. Cooker/Mixers are provided with ﬂanged feet and/or mounting plates.

2. Provide the proper electric power supply as speciﬁed on the electrical information plate attached to the mixer. Observe local codes and/or The National Electrical Code in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition. The installation must conform to the code that has the more strict requirements.

3. Your mixer requires a permanent connection with the electrical service. Use waterproof conduit and waterproof connectors for this connection. Install the conduit ﬁttings on the side or bottom of the equipment box, not on the top.

4. Any electrical service for the kettle will require a separate connection. See the speciﬁc kettle manual.

5. Use the following check list to conﬁrm that the installation is correct.

¨ Unit level (reference to kettle rim)

¨ Adequate clearance for tilting

¨ Access for service

¨ Unit fastened down

¨ Mixer power supply conforms to information plate and code

¨ Electrical conduit and connections are waterproof

¨ Mixer grounded

For instructions on installing the kettle component of your cooker/mixer, see the

separate kettle manual.

Installation

WARNING TURN OFF AGITATOR BEFORE ADDING INGREDIENTS OR INSPECTING KETTLE

CONTENTS. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE

CLOTHING OR JEWELRY AROUND OPERATING MIXER KETTLE. KEEP WELL CLEAR OF ROTATING MIXER ARMS AND

PADDLES AT ALL TIMES.

Slip-on Coupling

B. INITIAL START-UP

After the mixer is installed, take the following actions to conﬁrm that the

equipment is operating correctly.

1. For a tilting model, tilt the mixer through its complete tilting range to ensure that there is no hazard or interference.

2. Make sure the agitator is properly coupled with its drive shaft. The mixer agitators have slip-on couplings. The drive pin of each shaft must be positioned at the end of the J-slot in the mating coupling. (See photograph at left)

3. Carefully examine the primary agitator to verify that each ﬁnger is positioned correctly as shown in the ﬁgure at left.

4. When the mixer is in operating position, the scraper blades should touch the inside of the kettle during at least part of each revolution of the agitator.

5. At the circuit breaker or fuse box, turn on the electric power supply to the mixer.

6. Switch on the drive and conﬁrm that the mixer operates smoothly throughout its speed range.

7. Make sure the agitator turns in the correct direction, so it pushes the nylon scraper blades ahead of the agitator bar.

If the unit functions as described above, it is ready for use. If the unit does not function as intended, call your local Groen authorized service agency.

For instructions on initial start-up of the kettle component of your cooker/mixer, see the separate kettle manual.
