MAINTENANCE:
HAND WASH ONLY!
Do NOT clean

AGITATOR SPEEDS:

Most Mixers have three (3) positive speeds – low,
intermediate, and high. Depending on what you are
mixing, you may want to consider your Agitator

VS/GS Attachments: A FURTHER EMPHASIS ON HAND-WASHING YOUR POWER ATTACHMENTS:
Commercial detergents and solvents, such as are commonly used in commercial dishwashers, may discolor the
products anodized aluminum and will VOID the product warranty. For best performance, lubricate frequently after
cleaning with an USDA-approved grease or oil (see the lubricants on pages 142-144). These attachments should
only be utilized under the following operating conditions: Hobart Planetary Mixers in 2nd or 3rd speed, in 1st or
2nd speed for 3 speed mixers & in 1st, 2nd & 3rd speed for 4 speed mixers.

Please note: Use the P-1005 Latch Set Screw (see VS/GS exploded parts Diagram on page 3) to adjust the
tension of the VS/GS Attachment Door Latch. This setting will ensure proper closure of the Hopper Door and
maintain safety during product operation. Do NOT exert extreme pressure on the VS/GS Attachment “Pusher
Plate” Handle during operation. It may snap off or break, voiding the product warranty.

Take note to ensure that the Power Attachment SHAFT of any item is seated properly INTO the HUB of the Mixer
or Power Drive that you are using. If you find that the door of the food processor doesn’t close entirely or that the
disc holder, disk itself or the slicer knife blade” rubs up against the door of the unit, please examine the following
two areas:

1) REMOVE ANY WASTE OR FOOD RESIDUE FROM THE HUB COUPLING RECEPTACLE. This
is where the power attachment SHAFT is inserted.
2) Ensuring that this area is now free of all waste build up, please note that there is a SET SCREW
at the very end of the inside of this hub coupling collar. Please make sure that this set screw has
not loosened over time during use. If it has, consult your mixer/power drive owner’s manual and
review the tightening procedures for this component. Once you have done so, tighten this set
screw accordingly until it rests firmly in place. This should now allow your power attachment shaft
to be seated correctly into the hub coupling for proper product operation.
Meat Grinder Head: NEVER operate your Meat Chopper Attachment “dry” or without product, as it can damage
your machine. For optimal performance, replace your “Feed Screw Studs & Pins” when they show signs of wear
or overuse. NEVER over-tighten the Cylinder End Ring. When using a 3 speed mixer, operate this product in 3rd
speed only and when using a 4 speed mixer, use 2nd speed only during operation.
