With the mixer-grinder securely elevated using the base frame for support, bolt the leg or caster
assemblies through the corner holes using
5
/8" bolts and lockwashers, provided.
LEVELING
Adjust the feet (or caster legs) so the mixer-grinder is level, both front-to-back and side-to-side.
CHECK GEAR CASE LUBRICANT
Oil is installed in the gear case at the factory. Make sure oil is at the proper level by checking the oil
level sight gauge (Fig. 1). If it is necessary to add oil, unscrew the retaining screws and remove the
rear panel (Fig. 1). Remove the oil fill plug (Fig. 1) and add Mobil DTE HM oil until the oil level is brought
to the center of the oil level sight gauge.
CHECK CHAIN LUBRICANT RESERVOIR
Oil is added to the chain reservoir at the factory and sealed at the bottom of the splash shield with a
silicone rubber sealant for shipping purposes. With the rear panel removed, remove the sealant from
around the chain reservoir (Fig. 1) and inspect the oil level. Replenish as necessary with MPO-30
Multi-Purpose Oil.
