VARIMIXER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE THE SPEED LEVER, BOWL LIFT LEVER, OR THE BOWL
ARMS TO BE USED TO MOVE THE MIXER INTO PLACE. DAMAGE WILL RESULT TO THE UNIT.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE TOP LID BE REMOVED BEFORE MOVING THE UNIT.
The mixer must be mounted with the rubber feet, which neutralize both shaking and rusting. Spacers
can be inserted under the mixer’s feet if the floor is uneven. The mixer can be bolted to the floor if d
esired.
Before the mixer is connected to power, it should be checked that the voltage and frequency on the
rating plate is correct in relation to the place of installation. A unit labeled 220V 3 Phase will operate
from 208V to 240V 3 phase safely. The rating plate is located on the rear right side of the mixer. The
electrical connection box is located at the top rear of the mixer.
WARNING
Electrical and grounding connections must comply with applicable portions of the National Electrical
Code and/or other local electrical codes................................................................ire

1. Lower the bowl lift lever.
4. Close bowl screen if equipped.
2. Remove the bowl and all tools.
5. Turn timer to 10 minutes and
push “start” .

3. Raise the bowl lift.
6. Insure cover is rotating in
the correct direction.
OPERATION OF THE MIXER:
A) Open the bowl screen and place the bowl in the bowl
arms. Note: The bowl arms must be in lowest position and
the bowl must be pushed all the way into the bowl arms.
(Fig.3).
B) Place the mixing tool in the bayonet shaft. The pin on
the tool must be turned into the bayonet hole (fig.2).
C) The bowl is raised to working position, ensure that the
bowl is placed correctly. Close the bowl screen. If the mixer
is equipped with a timer, set the mixing time required by
turning the timer (fig 1) clockwise. The mixer will stop automatically, when the time runs out. When the mixer has
timed out, the "procedure for starting after emergency stop"
is used before the mixer is re-started.
D) Start the mixer by pressing the green start button
(fig.1)
The mixer will only start when the bowl is in "up"position,
the bowl screen is closed,and the timer is set to time or
"hold".
E) Turn the speed selector lever (fig. 4) to the rear until
the required speed has been obtained, (notice the recommended maximum speeds on page 3).
F) Before the mixer is stopped, the speed selector lever
must be moved back to lowest speed (fig.4).
G) Stop the mixer by pressing the red stop button (fig.1)
PROCEDURE FOR STARTING AFTER EMERGENCY
STOP:
1) This procedure must be used in cases where the mixer
has been interrupted in high speed.
2) Lower the bowl and remove the tool from the bayonet.
3) Raise the bowl arms, either empty or with the bowl.
4) Close the safety guard, start the mixer and move
the speed selector lever back to lowest speed. Switch off
the mixer. Now the mixer can be started as usual.
OVERLOAD
Do not overload the mixer. Sticky and heavy doughs may
reduce the capacity of the bowl by 75%. The capacity is
further reduced if the speed of the mixing tool is increased
beyond recommended values or if an incorrect mixing tool
is used. Large lumps of fat or cooled ingredients MUST be
cut into small parts before they are placed into the bowl or
damage can occur to the mixing tool(s).
3
Correct use of tools:
Whips should never be struck
against hard objects, this will
decrease the life of the tool.
Recommended applications for tools:
Whip Beater Hook
Cream
Egg Whites
Mayonnaise
and the like.
Cakes
Waffles
Muffins
and the like.
Doughs and
the like.
Cleaning:
Pizza
Bread
Donut
Maintenance and Lubrication:
The variable speed pulleys must be lubricated regularly, i.e. a
lubrication interval of approx. 60 hours of operation.
Lubrication of variable speed pulleys:
-Start the mixer and increase the speed to approx. 50%. Stop
the mixer and open the lid on the top of the mixer. On the top of
each of the two pulley set shafts is a grease nipple (fig. 5 point
1). Press grease through the grease nipples until the grease
gun feels hard to press or until grease comes out between the
shaft and the pulleys.
-Start the mixer, and set the speed back to low ..speed.
-Stop the mixer and fill the grease gun with new grease so that
it is ready for next time.
Lubrication of other movable parts:
The movable parts of the bowl arms, the shaft and the lifting
rod must also be lubricated with oil. Remove the rear covering
and lubricate the marked points with an oil can. (fig.5 pkt.2)
The mixer should be cleaned daily or after use.The
mixer should be cleaned with a soft cloth and clean
water. Sulphonated soaps should be used with caution
as they destroy the mixer's lubricants.
Never use high pressure cleaning for the mixer.
Bowls and tools of aluminium must not be washed with
strong alkaline detergents (pH not bigger than 9.0).
The soap suppliers can recommend the correct type of
soap.
The mixer should be unplugged before cleaning to prevent accidental starting while cleaning.
The inside of the beater shaft should be cleaned once
a day with warm, soapy water.
Dough hook Cleaning: Special care
should be given to cleaning the dough
hook. We recommend that it be
cleaned and sanitized in a commercial
dish machine. An alternate cleaning
procedure is to vigorously scrub the
hook with a hot.water and detergent
solution. Use a heavy bristled brush.
After cleaning, sanitize the hook by
rinsing it with a 50 ppm solution of
sodium hypochlorite.
Grease Types:
-Grease for the pulley set shafts: Lubriplate # 1200-2
-On repair of the planetary head: Grease the toothed wheel and
the toothed rim with Nye Gel 868VH,(PN 868VH), the needle
bearings in the planetary head must not be lubricated with this
type of grease, they should be lubricated with PN Sapphire 2.
Do not use any another type of grease than the one stated
here.
-On repair of the attachment drive: Fill the attachment drive with
Tribol Molub 860/150-0, (PN 860/150-0).

Belt Adjustments and Removal
To remove V-belts or tooth belt:
1. Remove the 4 screws (T) from the control panel.
2. Remove the front control (U) from mixer and let hang from cables.
3. Open lid.
4. Remove nut (J) and washers (H).
5. Remove fork assembly (X).
6. Roll belt (A) off of the the pulleys and remove.
7. Lossen jam nut (E) and tension bolt (F).
8. Loosen bolts (D).
9. Remove 3 V-belts or single tooth belt from planetary pulley (Y) and pedestal assembly (S).
To install V-belts or single tooth belt:
1. Install the 3 V-belts (C) on the pedestal pulley and planetary pulley (Y).
2. Tighten the 2 bolts (D) on the pedestal assembly, insure the v-belts are tight.
3. Install special v-belt (A).
4. Install fork assembly (X).
5. Install washers (G) (H) and nut (J). DO NOT TIGHTEN NUT!
6. On the front pulley set, the stud (K) on the varispeed collar (L) must be placed inside the lower fork (M), and outside
...the fork on the rear pulley set (N).
7. Start the mixer and tighten the nut (J).
8. Using the speed adjustment lever , lower the speed until the belt (A) is 1/8” from the outside edge of the front var-....
speed pulley (S). THIS IS LOW SPEED. Adjust the 2 jamnuts (R) against the fork (X) and tighten. This is your low ....
speed setting.
9. Using the speed adjustment lever , increase the speed until the belt (A) is 1/8” from the outside edge of the rear var-...
speed pulley (L). THIS IS HIGH SPEED. Adjust the bolt (O) down against the motor plate and tighten the jamnut. This ....

ADJUSTMENT OF BOWL HEIGHT:
The distance (X) is measured from the bottom side of the
bayonet hole to the surface on the bowl arms on which the
bowl rests (fig.7a). The bowl arms must be lifted to normal
working position.
W30 = 6 3/8”
(X): W40 = 6 3/8”
W60 = 6 15/16”
Lower the bowl arms down on a wooden block so that the
weight of the bowl arms are not loading the lifting system.
Loosen the counter nut (1), (fig.7b). Take out the cotter pin
(2). Take out the lifting rod (3). The lifting bolt (4) is now
loose and can be turned out or into the lifting nut (5), until
the correct height of the bowl arms has been reached.
ADJUSTMENT OF BOWL FIXING:
The bowl arms must be raised to normal working position.
Loosen the counter nuts (1) and remove the cotter pins (2).
Turn the bolt (3) until correct fixing of the bowl is achieved.
By turning the bolts out of the extension tube the fixing is
increased. Start by turning one of the bolts half a revolution.
ADJUSTMENT OF BOWL CENTERING:
Loosen the counter nuts (1) and remove the cotter pins (2).
Turn the bolt (3) until the bowl is in the center of the mixer.
After the fixing of the bowl, one of the bolts must be turned
out of the extension tube and the other into the extension
tube. Use the flat beater to check that the bowl is correctly
centered and turn the planetary head with your hand
before the voltage is connected.
