R. Place a new control plate (61, Fig. 2) on the bearing
bracket
(34)
with adj usting screws
(62)
at the top. Turn in
the screws until about 3/8" of the screw remains. Have both
screws turned in evenly so the other P.nd of the control plate
rests squarely on the extensions of the bearing bracket.

hook on the bottom part of the control plate.
T. Lay the four red wires together, side by side and turn on a

one fro m resistor and the other from the control plate, and
lo ck them in place with connector ( 40). Use a connector ( 40)

a better job can be done when mixer is completely
assembled.
SECTION 4
REPAIRS TO GEAR CASE AND PLANETARY
A. Examine the brass bearings in the attachment hub and the
roof of the gear case. These bearings are cast in the housing.
If they are worn badly, the entire housing must be replaced.
However, shafts turn slowly in these bearings and the
bearings have a long life.
B. Examine the attachment hub
(23 tooth) bevel gear (14,
Fig. 1 ). If it shows wear in the teeth, it should be replaced.
To replace the bevel gear, coat the shaft with a film of good
oil. Push it into the attachment hub bearing from inside the
gear case. It does not have a washer so push it in as far as it
will go.
