Operation
In order for your mixer to perform at top efficiency at all times, it is necessary that you follow the recommendations as laid
down by the designing engineers. Give your mixer the same attention you would give your automobile and your
BLAKESLEE-BUILT Mixer will give you many years of satisfactory service.
BOWL LIFT MECHANISM ADJUSTMENT
Bowl lift is factory set. However, should adjustment be necessary
do so as follows:
1. The mixers have adjustable stops to limit upward travel of the
bowl lift.
2. To adjust upward travel of lift (all models) loosen lock nut "B"
and turn bolt "A" clockwise to bring bottom of bowl closer to
attachment end or counter-clockwise to increase the distance
between the bottom of bowl and attachment end. Retighten
lock nut "B". CAUTION: Attachment must not rub on bottom of
bowl.
CHANGING SPEEDS
It is important to the life of the mixer, and to perfect mixing, to keep
the mix in constant motion. In Blakeslee-Built Mixers, which are
equipped with constant mesh gears and automatic clutch, the speed
may be varied by simply turning the mixer off, selecting the new
desired speed with the speed change lever, and then turn the mixer
back on.
NOTE: When mixing heavy loads, the Transmission should be
fully stopped before shifting speeds.
