=== Replacing the Spiral Arm ===
<div style="float: right><peertube>https://videos.mechtrace.com/w/qXcTpVVVQ37xktzu4vTwbV</peertube></div>
To change the Spiral Arm, follow the steps mentioned below:

# '''Switch off''' the Spiral Mixer and unplug the machine and ensure there is no power.
# Locate the Bolts holding the arm in place at the bottom of the head of the Mixer.
# Using a 30 mm spanner, remove the bigger bolt holding the arm in place by turning it anti-clockwise. This is present only the CSM-25. The CSM-50/CSM-75 do not have this. Keep the washers in the bolt itself, since they need to reused.
# Using an allen key bolts as well. Keep the washers in the bolt itself, since they need to be reused.
# Once removed, place the new arm in the same position.
# Ensure the bolt holds are matching.
# Tighten the Allen Bolts using the allen key by turning them clockwise accordingly.
# Put back the 30 mm bolt in place with the washers and tighten it. This is present only in CSM-25. The CSM-50/CSM-75 do not have this.
# Plug the Spiral Mixer back into the socket and switch it on.
# The Fixed Bowl Spiral Mixer is ready to use.

# Once the belt is tightened, tighten the 12 mm screws of the motor by turning them clockwise using the 18 mm spanner.
# Also tighten the 12 mm screws of the pulley by turning them clockwise using the 18 mm spanner.
# Ensure both the screws are completely tight.
# While putting the top cover back on, connect the electrical connector tightly and ensure the clip is put back tightly.
# Place/Put the top cover and tighten the 12 mm screw by turning it clockwise using the 18-19 mm spanner.
# Plug the Spiral Mixer back into the socket and switch it on.
# Ensure there is no sound and check if the Fixed Bowl Spiral Mixer is working fine.

=== Replacing the Motor ===
