What can I do to make sure the mixer is running smoothly and I have good clay?

- Mixer is a big screw as in simple machines kind of screw - it moves the clay along it's ridges. It should turn so the clay goes to the left side of the mixer - the handle needs to be turned TOWARDS THE WALL.
_When you add clay make sure it is in position to be 'chewed up' by the large screw - other wise it just piles up on the right.
