Replacing a power cord is fairly straightforward for those who already have a little experience.
The power cord is either obtained as an assembly as a spare part for your machine or bought as a simple length of cable from the local hardware or electrical shop. If the strain relief grommet is moulded onto the cable an assembly will probably be needed.
Carefully removing the existing lead will provide a pattern with the correct dimensions to cut the replacement, remove the insulation, etc.
Appliances use a variety of methods of connecting the power cord into the internal terminal block but which screws to remove is usually an intuitive process.
In a Hobart L800 you use 140 weight gear oil in the head and 90 weight gear oil in the planetary. You should start with about 160 ounces and check the sight glass and fill until in the middle of the site glass after oil settles.
As the machine is mixing dough it seems that it is getting sluggish. This is caused by the machine being over loaded. Although it is a 30 qt mixer that is for liquid filled capacity. I do not know what kind of dough you are mixing so I will give you a light to medium dough and then the heavy dough capacity. Also on this machine all dough should be mixed in speed 1 or low to keep from damaging the machine.
You will need to know the Absorption Rate (AR) of you dough, to find this you take the weight of the water divide the weight of the water and multiply by 100.
AR = Water Weight / Flour Weight x 100%
The higher the percent the higher the capacity the lower the percent the lower the capacity. Also the temperature of the water will have to be considered as the colder the water the harder the dough it is to mix the dough the batch should be reduced by 15% to 20% for water temperature between 65-75 degrees.
For a Light to Medium dough with a 60% AR the unit capacity is 45 pounds in first speed.
For a Heavy dough at 55% the units capacity is 30 pounds in first speed.
The above capacities are for bread doughs, if you are doing pizza dough, dough nut dough or wheat dough please post back to this thread and I will help you to find the capacities.
I hope that I have helped you with your problem and would like to thank you for using FixYa to find a solution to your problem.
Planetary takes six ounces 150 weight gear oil if completely drained (i.e. Exxon Spartan EP 150 or equivalent). Transmission uses one gallon 460 weight (yeah, 460 weight!) gear oil (Exxon Spartan EP 460 or equivalent).
Transmission uses #0 weight grease, best to get direct from Hobart (their grease is the correct weight and approved by U.S. FDA & USDA as safe for use in food equipment) but if you insist on not doing so, at least obtain an Extreme Pressure #0 grease and don't overpack the transmission, I believe it should have 35 oz. if memory serves right.
Uses a heavier grease for the planetary gear, use #2 weight. Don't need much, just a light coat on the planetary gear.
Bowl lift rails use medium weight oil, again use food grade oil supplied by Hobart.
