ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
A. Installation of the Pedestal Spacer:
1. Turn mixer power switch <OFF> and disconnect power
cord from wall receptacle.
2. Remove the bowl and beater.
3. Lay the mixer down on the opposite side from the control
panel, or turn completely upside down. If put on its side,
the pedestal arm must be supported to hold the bowl height
adjustment lever off the table top. If turned upside down,
the pedestal arm must be clamped to stabilize the mixer
during installation of the pedestal spacer.
4. Remove the four Phillips machine screws connecting the
pedestal base to the pedestal spacer.
5. Remove and set aside the screen.

6. Set the pedestal base aside.
7. Determine top-bottom orientation of the metal spacer
block by matching the pedestal arm contour. The four bolt
holes on the spacer are evenly spaced. The spacer must
be oriented correctly front to back.
8. Align the four holes on the spacer block with the four holes
on the pedestal arm. Next, align the pedestal base over
the four holes of the spacer bottom. Then align the screen
over the bottom of the pedestal base. Place a bolt in each
of the four holes and tighten with a socket wrench.
9. Sit mixer upright on table, install paddle and bowl, plug
mixer back into wall receptacle and test operation of mixer
to ensure spacer is secure and properly installed. Operate
mixer in accordance with manufacturers instructions.
NOTE: Modified mixers may no longer qualify for
applications involving food, cosmetics or pharmaceuticals.
Check with all applicable agencies and codes before
using a modified mixer for these purposes.
B. Installation of the Heating Mantle:
WARNING!
The MAA-29 heating mantle is custom designed for
this application. It is designed to fit only the stainless
steel 5qt mixing bowl of the MA-52X as supplied by
Gilson. DO NOT use for alternate purposes. Use for an
alternate purpose, or alteration of the mantle will cause
unsatisfactory performance and warranty to be voided.
WARNING!
MAA-29 mantles are NOT intended for use with
flammables or in hazardous areas. Heating mantles are
electrically operated heating devices. Exposure to water
will damage the mantle and can cause electrical shock
to the operator. ALWAYS disconnect a mantle from it’s
power source before handling. DO NOT handle hot
mantles. MANTLES IN USE SHOULD NOT BE LEFT
UNATTENDED!
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
The mantle can be centered underneath the 5qt mixer bowl
and allowed to rest passively on the pedestal base. This allows
the operator to raise and lower the bowl out of the mantle as
an additional control over heating cycles.
The mantle can also be attached to the mixer bowl support
arms. The mantle will then travel up and down with the mixing
bowl. Pass the Velcro straps on the heating mantle over the
mixing bowl support arms. Draw the straps up snug.
