How to plug in your attachment
Remove the hub knob

Insert your attachment
Insert the attachment into the hub, making sure the power shaft fits into the square socket. You may have to rotate it back and forth slightly. The pin fits into the notch when in the proper position.
Tighten the hub knob
Tighten up the attachment hub knob until the mixer is completely secured to the mixer. It’s now ready to start!
