SAFETY SAFETY...YOU CAN LIVE WITH IT EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES Every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions in this section.
SAFETY TIRE SAFETY • Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a rim can produce an explosion which may result in a serious injury or death. • Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have proper equipment and experience to do the job. • Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel should be called to service and/or mount tires.
SAFETY DURING OPERATION • Be aware of bystanders, PARTICULARLY CHILDREN! Always look around to make sure that it is safe to start the engine or to move the unit. This is particularly important with higher noise levels and quiet cabs, as you may not hear people shouting. • NO PASSENGERS ALLOWED- Do not allow anyone to ride on or inside the mixer at any time! • Keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts. • Do not clean, lubricate, or adjust your equipment while it is moving. • When halting operation, even periodically, set vehicle brakes, disengage PTO, shut off engine, and remove ignition key. • Be especially observant of the operating area and terrain. Watch for holes, rocks, or other hidden hazards.
SAFETY • Be sure the inside of the mixer is clear of any obstruction before operating and that all shields are in place. This includes any truck and driveline shields. Repair or replace any damaged or missing shields. Exposed shafts can grab hands and clothing and cause severe injury or death. • Use caution when working around the discharge area. Stay clear of power chute & slide tray. These are controlled from the cab and could operate without warning, creating pinch points which could cause severe injury or death.
SAFETY HIGHWAY AND TRANSPORT OPERATIONS • Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on public roads. • Use approved accessory lighting, flags and necessary warning devices to protect operators of other vehicles on highway during transport. Various safety lights and devices are available from your dealer. •...

Each hydrostatic pump is actuated by an electrical solenoid which is operated from the cab. Each hydro can be controlled independently. Charge Filter FILTER SHOWN: SAC PART # HYDP176566 Auxiliary pump Hydrostatic pumps AUXILIARY PUMP SYSTEM Located on the end of the hydrostatic pumps is a single auxiliary hydraulic gear pump.
Page 18
ELECTRIC SOLENOID HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVES The hydraulic power supplied by the auxiliary pump enters the aluminum block manifold located behind the left front panel of the mixer body. The hydraulic flow is divided to the different circuits found on the machine (e.g. discharge door, conveyor). The valves are controlled electronically from the control console located in the truck cab. In the event of power failure, the valves can be controlled manually by depressing the button located on each end of each valve.

15. Engage the pumps after 5 minutes. Check for hydraulic leaks and verify proper operation of the machine. Reservoir Suction Strainer Specification The replacement suction strainer for the hydraulic system is as follows: SAC- HYDS25100RV3 LHA BRAND-TM-25-100-RV5 FORCE AMERICA-TFS122003 Keep the system clean! If any hose fittings are removed at any time on the hydrostatic system, it is extremely import- ant that the connection area is cleaned prior to hose removal to keep foreign material out of the system.

MAINTENANCE NORMAL SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE OPERATING MIXER. INSPECT AND ADJUST • Augers for residue buildup. Clean augers will result in a faster and more efficient mixing of commodities. Check augers and clean off residue buildup regularly. • Roller Chain Tighteners so they apply sufficient spring tension to keep roller chains running smoothly. The chain will form grooves in the tightener blocks.
