Hobart Mixer HL800

WARNING! Disconnect the electrical power to the mixer and follow lockout / tagout procedures

- New mixer bowls and accessories (beaters, whips, and dough arms) should be thoroughly washed with hot water and a mild soap solution, rinsed with either a mild soda or vinegar solution and thoroughly rinsed with clear water before being used. This cleaning procedure should also be followed for bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites or whole eggs

- The mixer should be thoroughly cleaned daily. DO NOT use a hose to clean the mixer; it should be washed with a clean, damp cloth. The base allows ample room for cleaning under the mixer. The apron may be removed for cleaning by loosening the thumb screws. DO NOT wipe down slideways when cleaning

- The drip cup-splash guard assembly should be removed periodically and wiped clean

- For cleaning the wire cage refer to the Wire Cage section;

Warning: Disconnect the electrical power to the mixer and follow lockout / tagout procedures

Warning: Do not remove any covers or loosen any fittings while the mixer is operating

Ensure the electrical supply has been isolated before attempting to service or move the mixer

Warning: The electronic drive control is fitted with high voltage capacitors. Isolate the mixer from the mains and allow the capacitors to discharge for 5 minutes before removing any covers

Warning: Only Hobart trained service personnel or other properly trained and qualified personnel should carry out service

Inspection of the mixer's safety system

Operation check of the wire cage and bowl support interlock switches

Sign off on the safety system maintenance

- Inspect the transmission belt yearly for wear and replace by a Hobart Service Technician if worn

1. To check the oil level, remove the top cover, which is secured by two screws

2. Remove the Transmission Fill Plug and check the oil level

3. If the oil level is below the line on the oil dipstick, add a small amount of the recommended transmission oil until it returns to the proper level

4. Do not overfill the transmission, as leakage may result. Contact your local Hobart Service Office for the recommended transmission oil;

Lowered the bowl support fully?

Removed the apron secured by thumb screws?

Applied a thin coat of Lubriplate 630AA on the bowl pad area of the bowl supports?

Applied Lubriplate 630AA on each slideway?

Note: Occasionally, the planetary seal may become dry and begin to squeak.

Worked a little lubrication (mineral oil) under the lip of the seal?

The agitator shaft should be lubricated twice a year with a thin coat of mineral oil.

- Check agitator clearance periodically

1. The agitator must not touch the bowl, and the maximum clearance between the bottom of the bowl and an agitator is:

Agitator | Models | Max Clearance:

B Flat Beater | HL600, HL600C, HL800, HL800C, HL1400, HL1400C | 1/8" (3 mm)

ED Dough Arm | HL600, HL600C, HL800, HL800C | 5/16" (8 mm)

ED Dough Arm | HL1400, HL1400C | 11/16" (17 mm)

2. Install a bowl and agitator (e.g., beater). If the bowl and beater come into contact before the bowl support reaches its stop, adjust the stop screw. Refer to the Adjust the Bowl/Agitator Clearance section

Pour enough flour in the bowl to cover the bottom of the bowl where the beater travels. With the bowl fully raised (beater should not touch the bottom of the bowl), briefly run the mixer at the lowest speed
