4 Standard Installation Accessories
4.1 Installing Mixer Mast
It is very important that the mixer mast assembly be properly
installed. Each assembly must be plumb in both directions and
secured to the tank wall and floor with the supplied anchor
bolts. Shimming of brackets may be required.
1. Place the base bracket on the tank floor close to where
the unit will be located. Do not anchor the base bracket at
this time.
2. Carefully lower the mast assembly into the tank, placing
the lower mast socket over the base bracket pin. Take
steps to insure that all personnel be kept at a safe
distance from the mast assembly while it is being lowered
into the tank.
3. With the mast assembly seated on the base bracket pin,
insert the upper bracket pin all the way into the upper
mast socket. While holding the upper bracket against the
mounting surface, mark or line drill the four holes for the
anchor bolts.
NOTE: To insure proper mast rotation, it is very important that
the upper bracket is mounted straight and plumb.
4. After drilling the anchor bolt holes, place the upper
bracket on the wall, aligning the holes, and insert the four
anchors. Snug up the anchors but do not tighten them.
5. Place a level on the mast tube. Move the mast and the
inserted base bracket to the position on the tank floor that
will insure that the unit is plumb in all directions. Line drill
and install the anchor bolts in base bracket.
6. If the mast assembly is more that 10 feet in length
intermediate wall brackets must be installed. Place the
intermediate wall bracket pin all the way into the mast
socket, with the mounting plate against the tank wall, line
drill the four anchor bolts at the intermediate bracket as
well as the upper bracket at this time.
NOTE: When installing the intermediate wall bracket be sure
that the mast assembly remains plumb in all directions.
7. If the mast assembly is being mounted on a “Y” or “T”
wall, and is more than 10 feet in length, intermediate
extension brackets are required. Attach the extension
bracket to the intermediate bracket, using the supplied
hex head bolts with nuts and washers. Insert the
intermediate bracket pin all the way into the mast socket.
With the mounting plate of this assembly against the tank
wall, mark or line drill for the anchor bolts. Install and
tighten the anchor bolts.
8. Install ”L” shaped anti-lift clip as shown using the 1/4
dia X 3/4 inch hex. head bolt w/lock washer.
4.2 Installing the Guide Rail Stop Bracket
With the aid of U-bolts and lock nuts, mount the retaining bracket
on the guide rail such that the unit’s prescribed centerline height
results.

4.3 Installing the Guide Rail Retaining Bracket
Using u bolts and lock nuts, mount the retaining brackets to the
guide pipe in such a way that the mixer axis is at the specified
height.
Observe the minimum distance from the floor
and the minimum liquid level above the propeller blades specified
in the mixer operation manual.
If the propeller is only partly covered by the liquid, the bearings will
be unevenly loaded, the mixer will be subject to increased
vibrations and the shaft bearings and mechanical seals will be
subject to premature wear.

4.5 Lifting the Mixer out of the Reservoir
(e.g. for maintenance)
Unscrew the connecting bolts M 10 between the adjustment strap
and the bearing part and turn the direction of the jet back to its
centre position (90-position, symmetry of the adjustment strap
relative to the bearing part) by means of square M 27 or the
mounting lever.
Enter a bolt M 10x40 through the two holes (Ø 11) in bearing part
and spherical plain bearing to stop the parts turning around the
guide pipe axis horizontally.
Note: For this purpose, the adjustment strap has a Ø 30 hole
to accommodate the head of the bolt.
Remove the adjustment strap from the square of the spherical
plain bearing and lift the mixer out of the reservoir by the chain /
rope and the crane / hoist.
Lower the mixer again in reverse order. Re - adjust the direction
of the jet and, once this is done, re-mount the connecting bolts
M 10x40 between the adjustment strap and the bearing part, and
re-tighten them with a 35 Nm tightening torque.
