Auger Maintenance - SAC 3600 Series Operator's Manual

AUGER MAINTENANCE

AuGER MAINTENANCE
Every 3600 series mixer is designed with vertical augers that can be equipped with knives for cutting material.
Knife Maintenance
To maintain knives, follow this procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Place all controls in neutral, stop the engine, set park brake, relieve hydraulic pressure, remove ignition
key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, repairing, or unplugging.
3. Install new knives and tighten mounting bolts to their specified torque.
4. Keep knives in good condition. Replace if
chipped, dull, or damaged in any way.
5. Knife sharpening is not recommended. Each
knife has hardened surfaces on the upper side
that keeps it sharp.
Operating Hint:
Knife wear is greater on the knives located near the
bottom of the auger than those found near the top of
the auger. To extend the service life of the knives, rotate
the lower knives with the upper knives. This way all
knives will have a chance to wear evenly to a point where
they will all have to be replaced.
