MAINTENANCE
INSPECT AND ADJUST IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE OPERATING MIXER.
•
Roller Chain Tighteners so they apply sufficient spring tension to keep roller chains running smoothly. The chain will
form grooves in the tightener blocks. These grooves help to keep the chains in proper alignment, and the blocks need
not be turned unless the roller portion of the chain has worn into the block.
•
Roller Chains for wear, proper alignment and tension. Adjust or replace if necessary. Roller chain connector links which
pass over polyethylene tightener blocks must have the legs of the cotter pins trailing to the direction of rotation.
•
Safety Decals for readability. If any safety decals are removed, obstructed, or otherwise not understandable, they should
be replaced immediately. Keep all decals clean and visible.
•
Safety Shielding to be sure all shielding is in place and functions properly. Replace all damaged or missing shielding
immediately - see parts pages for more information.
•
Bolts and Set Screws after a few hours of use and each month thereafter. Tighten if necessary.
•
Reel Wipers plastic strips which help material clean out of the reel hopper. If the strips become bent back, they can be
unbolted and turned around or replaced to improve clean out.
•
Upper Auger Knives (optional) can be turned over for use on a new cutting edge and should be periodically sharpened,
or replaced if they are no longer sufficiently breaking up material.
•
Lower Auger Round Knives can be rotated several times before sharpening or replacement is required.
•
Discharge Chute Augers (optional) to keep from rubbing on the chute body: There are shims behind each chute auger
bearing for alignment. Periodically check chute liners for wear, replace as necessary.
•
Trailer Hitch for proper location, alignment and tightness of attaching bolts. If the upper clevis bar becomes excessively
worn the hitch assembly should be unbolted and replaced as necessary. Frequently check the clevis attaching bolts for
tightness, and that the clevis is secure. Worn or damaged bolts must be replaced.
•
Wheel Bolts must be kept properly torqued. Damage to the rim may occur if wheel bolts are not checked frequently.
10-bolt rim: 300 ft lbs-Grade 8 Lug
•
Tire Wear and Pressure must be checked to ensure that there is no excessive wear, and that tires are inflated to the rec-
ommended operating pressure for each given tire.
•
Rain can accumulate in mixer if stored outside, always remove drain plugs on hopper ends to allow unit to drain com-
pletely and replace drain plugs before next use.
•
Freezing Weather the PTO shield requires extra grease to prevent freezing. Snow can accumulate in mixer if stored
outside, always remove drain plugs on hopper ends to allow unit to drain completely and check hopper for snow or ice
buildup before operating unit. Thaw and remove any obstruction and replace drain plugs before next use.
IMPORTANT: WHEN WELDING ON THIS UNIT: Do NOT allow the current to flow through the bearings, roller chains,
•
or scale weigh bars. Ground directly to the item being welded. ALWAYS disconnect weigh bar cords from scale indicator
before welding.
ELECTRONIC SCALES
•
Scale Indicator: Refer to the electronic scale operators manual for adjustment information. The operator's manual
for the Electroic Scales should be kept with this manual. Additional scale manuals may be obtained through Sioux
Automation Center, Inc.
•
Load Cells: Should be kept clean, dry,and lubricated to insure dependabiltiy.
•
Normal Scale Activity: Some warm up scale "drift" may occur after the scale is turned on but should zero balance
within 10-15 minutes. Scale may zero shift over night due to temperature changes.
