Commercial 8 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer - Planetary Assembly Replacement

ID: 157742

Description: This guide will provide a detailed step-by-step...

Steps:

1. Before starting ANY repair/disassembly of the mixer, make sure it is fully unplugged from the electrical outlet.
2. If this mixer is being used in a commercial environment, a LOTO tag can be affixed via the hole on one of the prongs on the mains plug to prevent accidental activation.
3. Place a couple dish towels or other soft materials on the base to protect it from any potential impact.
4. Disconnect the planetary from the motor drive shaft by removing the retaining pin (circled in yellow). You can do this with a hammer and either a pin punch or a Torx T15 screwdriver. Simply hammer the punch/screwdriver on the pin until it comes out the other side.
5. If the planetary assembly doesn't fall out, you might have to give it a firm pull straight down to remove it.
