What is the likely cause if the mixer runs with bad vibration, a rumbling noise, and goes to higher speeds than expected?
This is most likely caused by a faulty governor, control plate contacts not closing properly, or a bad phase control. The governor should be inspected and replaced if faulty, the control plate adjusted if the contacts are not closing, and the phase control replaced if defective. (Appendix B-1)
