CLUTCH
The paddle shaft and mixing blades are engaged and
disengaged by tightening and loosening the drive belts with a
spring loaded idler pulley. To engage the clutch, rotate the
lever locates at the front of the mixer counterclockwise. The
spring maintains the correct belt tension. To disengage the
clutch, rotate the lever clockwise against the lever stop. The
engine base is slotted to adjust for belt wear and to bring the
idlerpulley into operatingrange.
CAUTION: Stop the engine before allowing anybody to put
their hands in the mixing drum.

PADDLE SHAFT BEARING
The paddle shaft in the Essick Mixer rotates in sealed ball
bearings requiring no additional lubrication.
BEARING BRACKET
Greasethebearingbracket every month.
COUNTERSHAFT
The countershaft rotates on two self-aligned pillow block
bearings.Greasetheseevery40hoursusing grade #1 Lithium
Basegrease.
GEAR ALIGNMENT
The countershaft and driven pinion are mounted on a slotted
base.To align gears, loosen pillow block mounting bolts and
movethemuntil the necessaryalignment hasbeenmade.
GEAR LUBRICATION
The surface of the pinion and the bull gear should be very
lightly greased every 250 hours.
IMPORTANT! AVOID OVER-GREASING.
EXCESS GREASE WILL ACCUMULATE
CONTAMINATES AND CAUSE
PREMATUREWEAR.
IMPORTANT — DRUM HEAD SEAL CARE
Oneachendofthemixingdrumisadrumhead containing self
adjusting paddle shaft seals.These seals consist of packing
rings, split glands and spring actuated adjusters. A properly
maintained seal prevents material from working around the
paddle shaft, causing excessive wear. The following is a
suggested procedure of maintenance for protection of the
paddleshaft and bearings:
A. Keep the drum head clean of plaster built up, so the spring
adjusterswill be free towork.
B.Replace withonenewringofpackingandwaterproofgrease
whensplitglandorpressureplateisabout tobottomout against
theendof the drum.
New Packing
When the old packing is to be completely replaced, coat shaft
and packing generously with a good grade of waterproof
grease and insert packing rings. Tighten the two spring
adjuster nuts on each end until the spring is compressed to
1¾inchesor the top oftheadjustingnutis even with thetopof
thedrumhead.
Also, whenever the paddle shaft is removed, new waterproof
greaseshouldbe packed around the ballbearingsinthe drum
heads before reinstalling the shaft.Fill the cavity completely.
DRUM GRILL
The drum opening is covered by a steel grill that is hinged for
easy cleaning. This grill should be closed at all times when
mixer is in use. Do not remove the grill or grill opening bar.
Keep the grill clean by washing it down daily.
