Caution -READ BEFORE OPERATING- Caution
Varimixer recommends that mixer operators must be at least 18 years of age and be thoroughly
trained on the use, cleaning and lubrication of the mixer.
This manual should be seen as an integral part of the mixer and should be kept by the machine
throughout its working life.
Before the machine is commissioned, it is important to read these instructions thoroughly.
The manufacturer may update the product manual without updating this copy of the manual.

- Do not wear loose clothing or rings while operating the mixer.
- Stop the mixer and lower the bowl before adding ingredients, scraping the bowl, removing
the agitator, or removing the product.
- Stop the mixer before removing or installing attachments into the drive hub.
- Do not attempt to assemble or disassemble attachments while mounted into the drive hub.
- Always use the pusher plate with the slicer/meat grinder attachments.

VARIMIXER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE THE SPEED LEVER OR THE BOWL ARMS TO BE USED TO
MOVE THE MIXER INTO PLACE. DAMAGE WILL RESULT TO THE UNIT. IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT THE TOP LID BE REMOVED BEFORE MOVING THE UNIT.
The mixer must be mounted with the rubber feet, which neutralize both shaking and rusting. Spacers can
be inserted under the mixer’s feet if the floor is uneven. The mixer can be bolted to the floor if desired.
Before the mixer is connected to power, it should be checked that the voltage and frequency on the
rating plate is correct in relation to the place of installation. A unit labeled 208V 3 Phase will operate from
190V to 230V 3 phase safely. The rating plate is located on the rear right side of the mixer. The electrical
connection box is located at the top rear of the mixer.
WARNING
Electrical and grounding connections must comply with applicable portions of the National Electrical
Code and/or other local electrical codes.

C) The bowl is raised to working position by a clockwise
turn of the button for bowl lift - the JOG-button must be
pushed and kept pushed until the bowl is entirely up.
Ensure that the bowl is placed correctly. On the timer
set the mixing time required by turning the timer (fig

Do not overload the mixer. Sticky and
heavy doughs can overload the mixer.
Overloading is further exacerbated if the
speed of the mixing tool is increased
beyond the recommended values or if a
wrong mixing tool is used. Large lumps of
fat or cooled ingredients must be cut into
small parts before they are placed in the
bowl.

Whips should not be struck against
hard objects as e.g. the edge of the bowl.
This will make the life of the tool shorter due
to increasing deformity.

For production of mashed potatoes the
special wing whip or the reinforced whip
should be used, alternatively use the beater
and the whip.
NOTE: Speed should never exceed 150
RPM when using the dough hook. Our
dough hook is designed to give you
optimum product on low speed.

The mixer should be unplugged before
cleaning to prevent accidental starting while
cleaning.
The mixer should be cleaned daily or after use.
The mixer should be cleaned with a soft cloth and clean wa-
ter. Sulphonated soaps should be used with caution as they
destroy the mixer’s lubricants.
Never use high pressure cleaning for the
mixer.
Parts made of aluminum should not be used
to strongly acidic, highly alkaline or highly
salty foodstu󰀨s, which may attack aluminum
without coating.
Tools of aluminium must not be washed with
strong alkaline detergents (pH between 5 and
8).
The soap suppliers can recommend the correct type of soap.
The inside of the bayonet shaft should be cleaned once a
day with warm, soapy water.
Dough hook Cleaning: Special care
should be given to cleaning the dough hook.
We recommend that it be cleaned and
sanitized in a commercial dish machine. An
alternate cleaning procedure is to vigorously
scrub the hook with a hot.water and
detergent solution. Use a heavy bristled
brush. After cleaning, sanitize the hook by
rinsing it with a 50 ppm solution of sodium
hypochlorite.

OBS. Special grease !!(Use the grease gun delivered together with the mixer). Start the mixer and increase the speed to approx. 50%.
Stop the mixer and disconnect the power cable. Open the lid on the top of the mixer. On the top of each of the two pulley set shafts
is a grease nipple . Press grease through the grease nipples.until the grease gun feels hard to press or until grease comes out
between the shaft and the pulleys.
The mixer must not be started until the lid is closed and the screws which hold the lid are
inserted.
Start the mixer, and set the speed back to low speed.
Stop the mixer and ll the grease gun with new grease so that it is ready for next time.

The distance (X) is only indicative as it depends on the toler-
ance of the special V-belt.
1. Start by tightening the v-belts (*).
2. Tighten the special V-belt (A) by moving one or two wash-
ers from (V) to (T).
3. Start the mixer and leave it running while the nut (U) is
tightened. Do not tighten it too much.
4. On the front pulley set the stud (E) on the varispeed collar
(F) must be placed inside the lower fork (G) and on the
rear pulley set outside the fork for belt tightener (B), (both
must point backwards).
5. Tolerances in the transmission might cause that the spe-
cial V-belt (A) is hitting the pins of the pulley sets when
the speed has been adjusted. In such cases the distance
(X) must be reduced. (+ or - 1/8" of 12 1/4")

In the rear part of the bowl arms (J) a shaft with an eccentric stud (K) has been mounted, on which the ball bearing is mounted.
By turning the eccentric stud, the bowl arms can be opened and closed so that the clamping and the centering of the bowl can be
adjusted. It has to be observed that the shaft is mounted in the bowl arm with a thread so that when the eccentric stud is turned,
the whole shaft is turned out and in into the bowl arms. When exchanging the whole shaft, the right starting point for the adjustment
must be found rst. The ball bearing (L) must be in the middle of the guide plate (M) so that the width of the entire ball bearing is t-
ting tightly against the guide plate, and at the same time it has to be observed that the eccentric stud cannot hit the back plate when
the adjustment has been nished.
In order to counteract that the eccentric shaft turns loose by itself when the mixer is working, the eccentric shaft must be self-tight-
ening. In order to obtain this e󰀨ect, the below drawings must be followed, on which the adjusting area for the left and the right bowl
arm, resp. is shown.
First nd the bowl centering, e.g. by mounting bowl and beater in the mixer, and turn the beater round with your hand, and measure
the distance from the beater to the edge of the bowl.
• When adjusting the clamping and centering of the bowl, the bowl
arms must be raised into working position. When exchanging the
shaft with eccentric stud (K) the bowl arms must be lowered.
• First open the lock plate (N).
• Loosen the shaft counter nut (P), use span 46.
• Screw an M8 bolt with counter nut (R) into both the eccentric studs
(K), and tighten the counter nuts. If the shaft with the eccentric
stud has stuck in the bowl arm, it can be loosened with a key with
the span 36.
• By turning the eccentric studs the clamping and the centering of
the bowl can be adjusted.
• Remember to use the right adjusting area for right and left bowl
arm. The drawings show the adjusting area for
•
When the adjustment is correct, tighten the shaft counter nuts (P).
Hold the bolt (R) while the shaft counter nut is tightened.
• Knock the lock plate (N) in position.
• Remove bolt and counter nut
