New Paddle / Hub Seal Kit Installation, and Kettle Shaft

Maintenance

1. Loosen the wing bolts (Mixing Paddle Lock Studs) and remove the mix paddles.

2. Remove the old hub seal assembly.

3. Clean the area around the center hub. Remove any product residue.

Note: The kettle shaft should be removed monthly and the bushings lubricated with

Never Seez

(use White Food Grade ONLY). To do this, loosen the set screw in

the Jaw Coupling and remove the shaft. DO NOT lose the shaft key; this must

be reset into place when reassembling.

4. Remove any burrs on the shaft using a fine grit emery paper to lightly sand the

surface. If the burrs are not removed, damage may occur to the new o-ring/oil seal

during installation.

5. Lightly lubricate the center hub of the kettle with a small amount of vegetable oil to

allow for easy installation of the hub seal assembly.

6. Slide the new hub seal assembly down the agitator shaft. Apply pressure to ease the

assembly over the center hub of the kettle until it seats properly (see diagram below.)

7. After the hub seal assembly has been properly installed, re-install the mix paddles

onto the agitator shaft.

8. Finger tighten the wing bolts to secure the mixing paddles in place.
