General - Bauer Magnum SM 540 Operating Manual

Hand-operated devices (valves)
1. Because of the slurry gasses produced in the lines, no slurry is allowed to remain in closed pipelines –
bursting hazard!
2. Lay the pipelines with sufficient inclination and make sure that the selected closing order of valves allows all
lines to be drained completely!
3. Protect the valves against unauthorised handling!
4. If a valve gets jammed do not apply force! Use only the operating levers supplied with the implement!
5. Observe the permissible maximum operating pressure of valves and pipelines when pumps are operated!
6. Service only when the tanks are empty!
Maintenance
1. Never perform any maintenance, service or cleaning work or fault elimination steps unless the drive is turned
off and the engine is standing still!
2. Check proper fit of all nuts and bolts regularly and tighten them, if necessary.
3. If maintenance work is required on the lifted machine always secure it by means of appropriate supports!
4. When exchanging tools with cutting edges always use proper tools and wear safe protective gloves.
5. Dispose of oil, grease and filters according to local laws and regulations!
6. Always turn off power before working on the electric system!
7. Before electric welding on the tractor and mounted machines the generator and battery cables must be
disconnected!
8. Spare parts must meet manufacturer's minimum technical specifications! This is the case for instance with
original spare parts for instance!

2 GENERAL

WARNING!
BAUER products are designed and manufactured carefully and subject to a system of continuous quality control.
MAGNUM slurry pumps fully meet the requirements of the agricultural practice. They are best suited for
delivering all kinds of slurries from thin liquid manure to viscous mixtures containing solids such as straw, fibres
or clots. A special chopper guarantees trouble-free performance without blockages. Short set-up times, easy
handling and maximum performance reliability are further advantages of this pump series. Pump drive is
mechanical from a drive shaft onto the PTO input shaft of the pump's gearbox.
Although the pump is simple in design you should study this manual carefully and strictly observe all operating
and service instructions contained . On this condition your slurry pump will operate to your full satisfaction for
many years!
Make this manual available to all operators handling the equipment. Serial number and pump type are stamped
in on the nameplate. Please specify these data in your inquiries, correspondence, warranty matters and parts
orders. We warrant for this pump according to our General Terms of Sale.

Apart from the mechanical hazards resulting from moving or pressurised parts, the
operation of slurry handling devices may also involve danger resulting from slurry
gasses. These gasses (carbon dioxide CO
H S, methane CH ) could cause poisoning as well as explosions. When operating in
2 4
particular mixers, agitators, recirculation systems, stirring nozzles and slurry aeration
systems one must always make sure that no gasses are allowed to penetrate into
the stable from outside tanks (installation of siphon or stop valve). When slurry is
handled inside the stable area sufficient forced ventilation in the stable area must be
secured.
