Weston 44 lb Meat Mixer - Manual (Page 5)

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MANUAL OPERATION
1. Place the Mixing Tub on a stable, level
surface with the Pivot Knob on your left
and the Gear Housing Cover on your right
(figure 1).
2. Adjust the Feet so the Meat Mixer is
stable and level. Raise the Locking Nuts
until they contact the bottom of the Meat
Mixer. Tighten the Locking Nuts against
the bottom to secure the Feet in position.
3. Insert the hollow end of the Brass Pivot
Pin, notched side down, into the Pivot
Housing from inside the Mixing Tub
(figure 2).
4. Using the Wrench, tighten the Set
Screw nearest the Mixing Tub on the
underside of the Pivot Knob Post until
it stops. Loosen the Set Screw ¼ turn to
allow the Brass Pivot Pin to slide back and
forth (figure 3). Make sure the Set Screw
fits in the notch in the Brass Pivot Pin.
5. Insert the threaded end of the Pivot
Knob into the Pivot Knob Post from
outside the Mixing Tub (figure 2).
6. Screw the Pivot Knob
into the Brass Pivot Pin until
tight.

inside the Mixing Tub. It
is best to have the Paddle
nearest the notched end of
the Mixing Shaft pointing
downward. You may have to
align the Pin with the notch
to install the Mixing Shaft in
this position. If so, install the
Handle onto the Drive Shaft.
Rotate the Handle until the Pin
aligns with the notch. Remove
the Handle.
