KitchenAid K5-A Service Manual

BEATER
The beater should fit freely
on
the beater shaft
located in
the
planetary.
Power
is
transmitted
from the
motor
to
the
center gear and bevel gear
assembly by means
of
the worm gear. The center
gear and bevel gear assembly engages the beater
pinion, located in
the
planetary, to turn the beater
shaft. The attachment hub bevel gear also meshes
with
th
e center gear and bevel gear assembly
to
transmit power when various attachments are
being used.
LUBRICATION
Under
normal service conditions the mixer will
not require lubrication for many years. The gear
case
is
packed with an ample supply
of
special
grea
se
which lubricates all
the
gears and shafts.
The rear
motor
bearing and the beater shaft are
the oilless type.
For
additional security
the
beater
shaft bearing
is
fed oil by a saturated wick
4
reservoir and the rear
motor
bearing by a felt
washer. The front
motor
bearing
is
a ball bearing.
When a mixer
is
subjected
to
abnormally
sev
ere
usage, it
is
advisable to check the planetary and its
internal gear for the proper amount
of
lubrication.
To remove the planetary first pry
off
the drip cup.
Remove the groov-pin from the end
of
the center
shaft and pry
off
the
complete planetary, using
two screwdrivers, one on each side.
Check
that
the planetary beater shaft is free-
running.
Place
a few drops
of
light or medium
weight oil on
the
beater shaft and wipe
off
th
e
excess.
Wipe
about a teaspoonful
of
medium
weight grease on the inside
of
the planetary
internal gear teeth. Make certain
that
the grease
fills the
teeth
with a little excess all around the
top
edge. Reassemble
the
planetary
to
the
mixer
as
previously removed.
