KitchenAid 5 QT HD Pro Question

I noticed that the bowl support arms on my stand mixer were rocking back and forth today, and making noise as I was mixing my bread in the stand mixer.  I used only enough flour to make one loaf, so the ingredients were not enough to make the bowl arms rock, and I heard the "click" at the back when I securely attached the bowl to the arms.  When I took the bowl off the bowl arm support, it seemed loose.

Is there a way to secure the bowl support arms?  Or is this normal?

I noticed with my Pro 600 that occasionally the tab screw would come loose.  This would cause the bowl not to lock in properly.  After tightening the screw everything was good.

 

I've since moved on to the Bosch Universal Plus, which I love.

If your dough is so firm that the hook can't knead through it, than yes, that's what going to happen.
