Fig. 77 Carefully let the planetary touch your finger to test
speeds.
Fig. 78 Once proper speed setting has been obtained, lock
the two 11/32” lock nuts.
If a small correction must be made, make it without
loosening the lock nuts.
Test speeds as before, and, when correct, it will not
be necessary to disturb the lock nuts.
E. Move the switch lever to speed #6. At this setting,
the planetary must turn at 180 revolutions per minute.
Check the speed as was done for stir speed.
The planetary should touch your finger 45 times in
15 seconds.
If the planetary touches the finger less than that, turn
the adjusting screw at the bottom of the control plate
(Fig.79).
Check the revolutions again and keep adjusting the
screw at the bottom until the right speed is reached.
There is no locking of this screw.

for speed # 6.
F. Try all mixer speeds from stir to #10.
If stir and #6 are properly adjusted, the other
speeds should automatically be correct.
If there is a definite change in speed between #8
and #10, the control unit is correctly adjusted.
G. A digital speed device (Fig. 80) is available to
adjust the planetary speed settings on all
KitchenAid mixers.
Fig. 80 Electronic speed measuring device, with
numerical display for setting speeds on KitchenAid
mixers .
To use this device, the main control box needs to
be plugged into a 120 volt power source.
Insert the tapered metal end of the speed sensing
unit into the attachment hub of the mixer. The
tapered hub is machined the same as all mixer
attachments. Secure it in place by tightening the
thumb screw.
