The tilt-head mixers lock into place with a lock-lever. This locks the motorhead in place so that it does not move up and down during mixing.
The motorhead should always be locked before you use the mixer.
NOTE:
- When pushing the lock lever over to the lock position, it may not move all the way to the right.
- As long as the lock lever is as far over as it can go and the head does not move when you try to pull it up, the head is locked in place.
It will not lock
If the beater (paddle/whisk/dough hook accessory) is too high on a tilt-head mixer, it can prevent the head from locking into place. The locking mechanism does not necessarily need to move to the end to lock the head into place. If the head lifts, then lowering the beater accessory will almost always resolve the locking mechanism issue.
