SECTION 2: COMPONENT OVERVIEW

BLENDER MOTOR BASE

The blender motor is located within the blender motor base and contains the

components which run the blender including the electric motor, drive shaft, and

microprocessor controlled circuit board. The blender motor base consists of

the motor housing, touchpad, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen, drive socket,

and the power switch (See Appendix B, ﬁgures 1.1 and 1.2).

• Motor housing: Encloses the power unit in a general stainless steel casing.

Never remove the motor cover. Removal of the motor cover will void the

warranty.

• Touchpad: Consists of six buttons which contain pre-programmed settings as

well as a pulse for selective blender control.

• LCD Screen: When a cycle is completed, the display increments the

cumulative cycle for warranty purposes. It also indicates overload or over-

temperature conditions.

• Drive Socket: This is where the shaft on the jar blade assembly couples with

the motor drive socket so it can turn the blade. This is a direct drive coupling.

•

Power Switch: This is the On/Off switch which controls power to the blender

motor base.

2.2 BLENDER JAR ASSEMBLY

The blender jar assembly consists of the blender jar, blade assembly, and lid.

The blender jar assembly integrates these components to ensure consistently

blended drinks and greater operator safety.

Jar: Made from a safe, durable material to provide maximum performance as

well as clear visibility of blender performance.

Blade Assembly: Stainless steel, designed to ensure fast, consistent blending.

Lid: Designed to provide ease of handling and quick removal for high-speed

operations.

2.3 OPTIONAL SOUND ENCLOSURE

The sound enclosure reduces noise created during blender operation.

2.4 OPTIONAL MOTOR STAND

A “top-of-the-counter” version of the blender is created by combining the

sound enclosure described above with a motor stand into which the blender

motor base is inserted. This allows for portable operation of the blender. In the

Q-series model, the motor stand signiﬁcantly reduces motor noise.
