FOOT CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS
To use the momentary foot switch to control the mixer, plug the foot control
provided into a grounded outlet. Plug the mixer cord onto the back of the foot control
plug. In this mode, both switches must be on to run the mixer. Leave the mixer switch
turned on during periods when you wish to use the momentary foot control. Make
sure the foot control is kept where it will not be activated accidentally.
MOTOR PROTECTION
Your mixer is equipped with a motor protector mounted on the right side of the
motor enclosure. Should your motor be kept from turning (locked rotor) or otherwise be
over loaded, the motor protector will trip. Should this occur, make sure the motor is free
to rotate and wait a short period for it to cool down before pushing the motor protector
button back and restarting the motor. Never remove or bypass your motor protector.
REPLACING PERMANENT AGITATORS
The Permanent Agitator is threaded into the shaft with a right handed thread. To
install or remove it, hold agitator in one hand and the shaft in the other, and turn it
in or out as required. Do not use tools on either the shaft or agitator as they could be
damaged. When you use the last agitator order more for your stock.
PARTS REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
The component parts diagram shows most of what you need to know to service
this appliance. However, the following specic instructions should be followed.
CAUTION SHOCK HAZARD:
1. Always make sure the unit is unplugged before removing the top or attempting any
kind of repairs.
2. Only replace parts with the correct parts provided by Vita-Mix or an authorized
distributor.
3. Before restarting, always make sure the unit is wired correctly per schematic,
that the safety ground is securely attached, and the cap is replaced.
4. Never pull or push on the agitator shaft and do not use it to carry or move the mixer,
as excessive side force could cause shaft bending and misalignment resulting in
noise, vibration, and reduced bearing life. (See shaft alignment instruction)
MOUNTING KITS WITH INSTRUCTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR WALL
MOUNT MIX'N MACHINES.
The Mix'n Machine models VMO804 and VMO804A mount on either the front
left or right hand side of a cabinet, or a piece of equipment. They can also be mounted
on the wall. Fasteners are provided for wood surfaces.
For ush mounting, the Mix'n Machine must project above the top of the cabinet
or equipment to allow clearance for the cord and top vent. If this is not possible use
stand-off mounting in KIT805. Cut out the template provided and tape it on the surface
where you want to mount the Mixer.
To mount on a wooden surface, drill (3) 1/8" pilot holes. Place the eyelets or
stand-off plastic mounting plate and tighten the screws in place.
The mixer can be mounted or removed from the cabinet or wall easily without
tools.
WHEN THE MIXER IS NOT MOUNTED, TAKE SPECIAL CARE NOT TO
BEND THE SLIDING RODS OR SHAFT, AS THIS WOULD PREVENT THEIR
SMOOTH ACTION.
NOTE: Hole sizes are different for different types of surfaces. Select the correct drill
size and type of surface before drilling. Stand-off mounting will require KIT805.
