  • Page 23: Operation

    OPERATION PULL BAR These mills need a 540 rpm PTO. Refer to the image to obtain the correct system dimensions of 540 rpm needed to operate this equipment. These standards have been defined by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE).
  • Page 24 OPERATION HITCH THE ARROW SHAFT TO THE PTO HITCH IMPORTANT: Keep the hitch streaks and the strength axis clean, without paint or dirt. To hitch the power line, connect the universal joint of the rear telescopic hitch (A) to the PTO (B), pressing the pin and then release it.
  • Page 25 OPERATION ARROWS ALIGNMENT IMPORTANT: Ensure that the bearing screws are tight once that the arrows have been aligned. The arrows must be aligned because it depends on this that the pulleys are also aligned. To align the arrows take as a base the line that is formed at the top of the drawer (A), then the arrow (B) of the pulley must be aligned with respect to this line.
  • Page 26 OPERATION PULLEYS ALIGNMENT AND STRIPS TENSION IMPORTANT: The strips must have some tension so that the PTO’s power transmission is adequate. The pulleys must be aligned one with respect to the other, otherwise the can pull outside, besides its useful life reduces. To verify that the pulleys are aligned, loosen the screws and remove the guard, use a square or rule (E) with enough length to support it simultaneously...
  • Page 27 OPERATION FEED HOPPER OPENING REGULATION The part that controls the feeding also has the function of preventing the mill from getting stuck. The feed hopper opening (A) will be regulated according to the material to grind. To grind pasture it opens to the maximum. To grind grains, regulate the opening according to what you observe, that is, if you see that at the time of adding the grain the Mill gets stuck or a high quantity of...
  • Page 28 OPERATION AIR INTAKE REGULATION OF THE RECEPTION TRAY When the grain is been ground, generally the volume of air pulled by the fan is reduced. For this reason, it is very important to allow the air intake through another part of the mill so that the fan functions correctly.
  • Page 29 OPERATION TIRES PRESSURE Only for Mill MMRB20 IMPORTANT: Both tires must have the same air pressure. Proper inflation is essential for a long tire life. The lack of air pressure allows the tire to slip on the rim and the side walls to deform, resulting in broken stems and uneven wear of the tread.
  • Page 30 OPERATION Once all the necessary adjustments have been made according to the Operator’s Manual, the operation of the mill can be started as follows: 1. Place the sacks in each of the outputs of the bagger. Turn the handles (A) to hold the sack. Orient the baffle so that the sack you want gets filled first.
  • Page 31 OPERATION 4. Add the material to grind, in such a way that the Mill’s rotor does not saturate. Be very careful that when picking up the material to grind (pasture or grains) it does not carry stones, wood, metals or foreign materials, since the Mill can be damaged in general, besides that it can cause a serious accident.
  • Page 32: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE HAMMERS REPLACEMENT The hammers need to be changed once they have worn to such an extent that the vibration increases and the Mill becomes inefficient The steps to change the hammers are the following: 1. Turn the Feed Hopper (C). To perform this operation, pull and turn any of the security bolts (D), until they are located as shown in the image.
  • Page 33 MAINTENANCE 4. Change or reverse all the hammers (A) as the case may be and put the pieces back in place, starting with the last one removed. Since the hammer has 4 corners, you can reverse the hammers 3 times before replacing them for new ones.
  • Page 34 MAINTENANCE DAMAGE AND WEAR IN THE HAMMERS Sometimes the hammers can be damaged before the 4 corners wear out due to the deformation of the hole through which the rod passes. The upper figure shows a hammer with the damaged hole (A) and the hole (B) in good condition.
  • Page 35 MAINTENANCE DAMAGE ON THE ARROWS The rods where the hammers are mounted can get worn to the point that it is necessary to replace them. ATTENTION: Never operate the Mill if a hammer is missing. If you reverse hammers and some are flared, invert them all using the hole that is not flared.
  • Page 36 MAINTENANCE SCREENS REPLACEMENT The screens are changed when they have worn so much that they are about to break or when you are going to grind a different material to the one that is specified for the screen that is set. The steps to change the screens are the following: 1.
  • Page 37 MAINTENANCE NOTE THE LUBRICATION SYMBOLS For your Mill lubrication, use bearing grease based 50 hrs on Lithium EP-2, in hour intervals indicated in these symbols. Regularly brush the arrow shaft with Lithium EP-2 grease. MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION ATTENTION: Do not clean, lubricate or adjust the machine while it is in motion.
  • Page 38 MAINTENANCE ALTERNATIVE AND SYNTHETIC LUBS The conditions of certain geographical areas may require the use of lubricants or special lubrication techniques that are not listed in the Operator’s Manual. In this case, contact your dealer, who will provide you with the most up-to-date information and recommendations.
  • Page 39 MAINTENANCE BEARINGS Every 50 hours Clean and lubricate the rotor shaft’s grease fittings and the ones of the side shaft. Use quality EP-2 grease based on lithium and containing no more than 1% molybdenum disulphide (heavy duty grease or equivalent). If necessary, lubricate the bearings before each working day.
  • Page 40 MAINTENANCE WHEEL BEARINGS (Only for MMRB20 Mill) Every 6 months Remove the wheels, repack and adjust the bearings. Use all-purpose lubricants or equivalent SAE multi- purpose grease or wheel bearing grease. If your machine will remain inactive for a long period of time, disassemble the tires and keep them in a safe place.
  • Page 41: Recommendations

    RECOMMENDATIONS FUNCTIONING ATTENTION: Never operate the hammer mill with a tractor that offers more than 540 RPM PTO output. Perform all adjustments and maintenance referred in this Operator’s Manual prior to operate the Mill. When changing the hammers, verify that they all have the same dimensions and that they remain in the order indicated in this Operator’s Manual.
  • Page 42 RECOMMENDATIONS TRANSPORTATION When you have finished the operation and need to transport the Mill on a road, do not forget to place back and tighten the screws (A) located at the extension’s base. Otherwise it can cause a serious accident since the cyclone can turn without restriction, hitting any vehicle.
  • Page 43 RECOMMENDATIONS STORAGE When storing the Mill, remove the forage, grains and mud adhered. Lubricate all the Mill parts referred on the Operator’s Manual. Place wooden blocks under the Mill to relieve the weight on the tires and then deflate the tires. If the Mill is going to be left outdoors, do not deflate the tires, but cover it completely to protect it from the environment.
