SAFETY OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS When the mixer / feeder is in operation it has many moving parts which could cause severe injury or death to persons coming in contact with these parts. To help avoid serious accidents, the following guidelines should always be followed. BE SURE ALL SAFETY SHIELDS are in place before operating, including driveline shields.
Page 13
If the tractors flashing lights or tail lights are obscured from the rear by the towed equipment, then the Schuler optional light kit P.N. 10050-0051, or equivalent, must be installed on the equipment. Make sure the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem and reflectors are clean and properly maintained so they can be seen clearly by all overtaking traffic.
INSTRUCTIONS IS A MISUSE OF THE EQUIPMENT! SIGN-OFF FORM Schuler follows the general standard specified by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Anyone who will be operating and/or maintaining this equipment must read and clearly understand ALL SAFETY, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE information presented in this manual.
WHEN FIRST OPPERATING YOUR NEW MACHINE When towing a new machine, stop and feel the wheel hubs after 6-10 miles. If hub is hot to the hand, remove hub cap and back spindle nut off 1/4 – 1/2 turn. Check for proper assembly and adjustments. Make sure all lift flight bolts, floor flight bolts, hitch bolts, wheel bolts, sprocket and pulley set screws, etc.
HITCHING TO THE TRACTOR Attach mixer/feeder to the tractor drawbar with a 1 1/8” diameter hitch pin with a locking retainer so pin cannot bounce out. Raise jack and lock in horizontal position. CAUTION – ALWAYS TRANSPORT A LOADED MIXER/FEEDER AT SLOW SPEED (10mph OR LESS) AND BE EXTRA CAREFUL IN HILLY COUNTRY.
SAFETY CHAIN Whenever towing the mixer/feeder and especially on a public road, observe these instructions: Mount chain on hitch channel by running chain through loop and running hook through the large ring at end of chain and pull tight as shown in Figure A. Run the chain through an intermediate support bolted on the tractor drawbar, then wrap the chain around a supporting member of the tractor and hook as shown in Figure B.
FLOOR APRON The floor apron on your Schuler Feeder has been designed for maximum strength and long life. Pintle chain is standard equipment with a much higher strength than 67X steel detachable chain. The apron driving sprockets should push against the barrel end of the pintle link, not the pin.
ADJUSTMENTS FLOOR APRON CHAIN Periodically inspect the spring tighteners on the floor apron at the rear of the box. When the spring tighteners have pushed the rear apron shaft to the rear of the tightener slot, the chain adjustment is completely used up.
The Schuler Mixer/Feeder is designed to require a minimum amount of lubrication, with precision, triple lip, sealed bearings widely used. However, the points that are to be lubricated should be serviced regularly, at the intervals listed.
