EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment. Designers and manufactures build in as many safety features as possible. However , every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment.

DURING OPERATION (CONT.) Never leave running mixer/feeder unattended. As a precaution, always recheck the hardware on mixer/feeder following every 100 hours of operation. Correct all problems. Follow the maintenance safety procedures. FOLLOWING OPERATION: Following operation, or when unhitching, stop the tractor or towing vehicle, set the brakes, disengage the PTO and all power drives, shut off the engine and remove the ignition keys.
Page 19
HIGHWAY AND TRANSPORT OPERATIONS (CONT.): Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on public roads.

READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE WELDING ON THIS MIXER/FEEDER When welding on your mixer/feeder , do not allow the current to flow through the ball bearings or the roller chains. Ground directly to the item being welded. Always disconnect the scale instrumentation from the weigh bars or load cells and the power source. Be sure the current does not pass through weigh bars or load cells or scale indicator .
ALWAYS USE DRY HAY Drain rain water out of mixer before use. 1” of rain in a 354-12 equals (54 gal) 440 lbs. of water which will increase the moisture in 1000 lbs. of dry hay (12%) to 38% moisture or 500 lbs. of dry hay to 53% moisture.
Page 23
LOADING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HA Y PROCESSOR Load all commodities except liquids on the discharge (auger) side with the hay pan in the raised position. The raised hay pan does not affect the mixing action 1. If molasses and/or liquid protein is used, load on the rotor side of the mixer first with the mixer not running.
LUBRICATION CHART DISENGAGE PTO & SHUT OFF POWER BEFORE LUBRICA TING THE MACHINE. LOOSE OR FLOPPY CLOTHING SHOULD NOT BE WORN BY THE OPERATOR. OIL BATH: Fill the oil bath with 30 weight motor oil to sight plug level. GREASE BANK: Grease every 100 hours. FRONT END BEARINGS: Grease every 100 hours.
