Hobart HL600

I recently purchased a used 60qt legacy mixer. One of the reasons I purchased this model, is because it is listed as a dual phase unit. The previous owner had it set up in 3 phase, but I need it for single phase use. I thought there would be an option to change phase use or an electrical diagram for the new wireing set up but there was not. So I called my local Hobart service provider and they initially said I had to change the motor to be able to use a single phase. After a little bit of me telling them that was crazy and that it is labled on the serial badge as 1 and 3 phase; he did a some research and said all I had to do was connect the one and two cable.
Has anyone one else had any experience with this issue or mixer model. I want to make sure that i wont be damaging the machine if i do this. I know that I can get an external converter box as a last option, but as I wrote before it is listed as a dual phase mixer.

Thanks

Edit: I read your post wrong. I have never worked on a dual phase mixer. I have a 3 phase with converter box

You just need a Teco N3 drive converter

Been using one for years. Change a few wires around in the hobart and your good to go

Sorry I have not encountered that situation:

If Hobart service says it can be done have then come out and do it.

If you do it yourself and burn out the motor you will have an expensive repair.
