INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a MONOMIXER. The purpose of the MONOMIXER is to give the agricultural industry the ability to incorporate long stem roughage into the total mixed ration without additional grinders or processors. We have built the MONOMIXER to very exacting standards and a high level of quality that will give you many years of dependable service if properly used, maintained and serviced.
USING YOUR MONOMIXER READ CAREFULLY SETUP 1. When you are delivered your new MONOMIXER from the factory, it is not immediately necessary to check the machine for bearing lubrication or discharge chain tightness as these items have been factory serviced. It is recommended to walk around the machine and familiarize yourself with the location of all moving parts, caution decals, the general operating dimensions and the basic working features of the MONOMIXER.

CAUTION! DO NOT REPLACE A BLOWN FUSE WITH A FUSE OF A HIGHER RATING! 4. The MONOMIXER has also been supplied to you with a complete scale system. Read and understand the scale manual and familiarize yourself with its different functions. The scale indicator leads should be connected directly to the battery either on the mixer or the tractor.

3. It is very important that before using your MONOMIXER, proper PTO length be determined and maintained. The PTO must have a minimum and maximum engagement length that falls within the safe use of a PTO. Too short of a PTO could result in the two halves coming apart under load or going over uneven terrain;...

7. If a MONOMIXER does become plugged or jammed, to the point where normal mixing rotation (counter clockwise from the front) will not resolve the problem, it will be necessary to reverse the mixer. This can safely be done by first turning off all power sources, setting the parking brake and waiting for all motion to stop before removing the PTO from the planetary end.

9. To discharge feed from the MONOMIXER, it is necessary to first start the conveyor (either self contained hydraulics or tractor supplied) and then open the discharge door. The conveyor and the door operate on two different hydraulic circuits and can be operated independently. The rate of ration flowing from the MONOMIXER can be controlled by the door position.
