aCtuator

:

Lift the bowl arms to the top position.
Lower the bowl arms to a pressure relief point set at approx. 

midway.

It is very important that the bowl arms are low-

ered to a pressure relief point before disassem-

bling the lifting actuator.

Cut the power to the machine by removing the plug from the 

socket.

Remove the three plugs for the reed contacts on the actuator.
Remove the lifting actuator from the bowl arms by removing 

the pins and axle.
Remove the cotter pin that secures the actuator at the top.
Remove the cable to the actuator and lift the actuator out 

from the mixing machine.
Install the new actuator.
Connect the machine to the power supply.

If replacing the lowest actuator fittings, use Lochtite 270 to 

tighten the fittings

.

belt

:

The old belt can be removed by loosening the belt tightener.

Installing a new belt:

1. 

Place the belt in the wheel groove.

2. 

Tighten the belt using the belt tightener 

3. 

Tighten the belt until the belt can be bent approximately 

23/64” 

(dL)

 at a pressure of approx. 19 lb 

(F)

, see 

Fig. 

2

.

4. 

Run the machine with a regular production load for ap-

proximately 10 min.

5. 

Check the belt tension by measuring its elasticity. If the 

elasticity has changed, retighten as described in point 3.

The belt tension should be checked every 6 months.

If there is not enough belt tension, the belt will wear out 

quickly, and if there is too much tension, there is a risk that 

the life-span of the bearings will be considerably shortened.

Then follow the section 

“Fine-tuning the reed contacts 

and CE microswitch”

.

The lifting actuator has 3 proximity detectors (reed contacts) 

that check the position of the bowl.

SwItCh

:

Check that the location of the reed contacts matches up 

with the marks in 

Fig 3

.

Connect the reed contacts with the matching cables – see 

illustration on 

page 16

.

Adjust the three contacts and the CE microswitch according 

to the following sequence:

1.   Adjusting the top reed contact:

Contact 

A

 determines the top position of the bowl.

The contact must be positioned in accordance with the 

mark in 

Fig. 3

.

Raise the bowl to the position corresponding to mark 

X, 

Fig. 5

.

Adjust the top reed contact upwards until the reed LED 

lights up – it is important to stop adjusting once the LED 

lights up!

2.  Adjusting CE-microswitch:

and 

ERGO100

3.  Adjusting the reed contact for the JOG function

Contact 

B

 determines where the machine’s JOG function 

starts, see also “Bowl lifting and JOG function” on page 3.

The contact must be positioned as shown in 

Fig. 3 

and 

does not require any further adjustment.

4.  Adjusting the bottom reed contact:

Contact 

C

 determines the bottom position of the bowl.

The contact must be positioned in accordance with the 

mark in 

Fig. 3

.

Raise the bowl to the position that corresponds to mark 

Y in 

Fig. 5

.

Adjust the bottom reed contact until the reed LED lights up 

– it is important to stop adjusting once the LED lights up
