SET-UP & ASSEMBLY WHEELS & TIRES The Mixer is shipped without the rims and tires installed on the axle hubs. Install the rims and tires, and torque the wheel nuts to 90 ft.-lbs. (124 N-m). Inflate the 12.5L x 15 - 20 ply tires to 80 PSI (563 kpa). STORAGE IMPORTANT: NEVER store the Mixer outside as the combination of product &...
TRANSPORTING TRANSPORT LIGHTING Highway transport lighting is standard equipment. REFLECTORS The Mixer is equipped with red reflector strips that are located on the rear of each fender. -19-...
PREPARING FOR OPERATION TRACTOR CONNECTIONS Fasten the Mixer to the tractor drawbar with a hitch pin with safety locking device, and attach the Mixer PTO to the tractor PTO shaft locking it into position. 1. Maintain a straight alignment between the Mixer and the tractor. 2.
OPERATION EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN In an emergency or in case a foreign object enters the mill, stop mixer operation immediately by disengaging the tractor PTO. GENERAL INFORMATION Check entire unit carefully before first operation. Tighten bolts and set screws that might have come loose in shipping.

OPERATION SELF-CONTAINED HYDRAULIC SYSTEM Hydraulic System The mixer has a self-contained hydraulic system composed of a pump, reservoir w/oil filter, and hydraulic motor operated discharge augers. Note: When operating at cold temperatures, allow the hydraulic oil in the self-contained system to warm up at tractor idle speed with the PTO running prior to grinding.
Page 27
OPERATION SUPPLEMENT HOPPER Snubbers lock the lid on the Supplement Hopper into the closed position. A bag guard is provided to prevent containers from being accidentally drawn into the transfer auger. A flip-over bag breaker allows easy opening of supplement bags. NOTE: Liquids, such as molasses, should not be poured into the grinder-mixer as it will cause build-up within various parts of the mixer.
Page 28
OPERATION UNPLUGGING IMPORTANT: When plugging is detected, stop mixer operation. Mill, Mill Drive and Mixing Tank Overfeeding of the mill and/or the mill inlet can result in plugging, thus slipping of the miller/blower drive belt, or shearing the main shear bolt. Abnormal crop conditions would include crops with high moisture content or crops that are too light or bulky which would not feed properly.
Page 29
OPERATION BLOWER INLET & OUTLET NOTE: The collector cover must always be open while grinding. Plugging in the blower inlet or outlet can be seen by the abnormal amount of dust particles in the air around the top of the collector, and/or the visible presence of dust in the mill throat area and/or a reduced air discharge at the top of the collector.
ADJUSTMENTS DRIVE CHAIN Chain tension is self-adjusted by a spring-loaded idler and requires very little adjustment. there should be approximately an 1/8” gap between the spring coils for proper tension. The chain, sprockets, and spring should all be inspected periodically for signs of wear. NEEDLE VALVES An adjustable needle valve is provided on each hose of the discharge auger rotation to control the speed of auger swing to provide smooth rotation.
Page 31
ADJUSTMENTS MILL/BLOWER DRIVE The combination mill/blower driven sheave is connected from the main drive sheave by an 8” “A” section banded drive belt. Adjusting bolts are provided to align the drive sheave with the driven sheave as well as to adjust the drive belt tension. Sheave Alignment To align the combination mill/blower driven sheave with the drive sheave, proceed as follows: 1.
Page 32
ADJUSTMENTS SWINGING INTAKE AUGER ATTACHMENT SIA Brake Tension A brake lever adjusts the hold and horizontal position of the swinging intake auger attachment. The brake mechanism consists of a cam-type lever-activated mechanism which is connected to a band around the attachment pivot. An adjustment bolt on the opposite end of the lever can be turned in to tighten, or out to loosen the band around the pivot.
Page 33
ADJUSTMENTS NEEDLE VALVES An adjustable needle valve is provided on each hose of the discharge auger rotation to control the speed of auger swing to provide smooth rotation. Needle valves are located at the rear of the machine by the hydraulic rotation motor. Unlock the set screw on the valve. Adjust each valve by dialing it left or right to decrease or increase auger rotation speed.
SERVICE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM Hydraulic Pump Sheave Alignment The hydraulic pump drive and driven sheaves must be maintained in correct alignment and be tightly secured at all times. Hydraulic Pump Belt Tension Overload protection for the hydraulic pump is provided by a self-adjusting spring tightener that requires no adjustment.

SERVICE UNLOADING AUGER If the Unloading Auger System becomes plugged, proceed as follows: Disengage the PTO, shut-off tractor and remove key. 2. Shut the unload auger door and turn off the on/off control valve to the OFF position. 3. Remove the clean-out cover on the vertical unloading auger, and the end cover/bearing on the lower horizontal auger.
OPTIONAL FEATURES & ACCESSORIES UNLOADING AUGER EXTENSIONS 3’ Folding Auger Extension The 3’ folding discharge auger extension kit consists of a 3’ length of auger which is attached on a pivoting mounting bracket to the end of the 12’ unloading auger, and a Cradle Extension. NOTE: The 3’...
LUBRICATION GENERAL INFORMATION IMPORTANT: The Mixer must be properly lubricated, the gearbox and oil reservoir must be filled to the proper oil levels before it can be operated. IMPORTANT: Catch and dispose of fluid per local waste disposal regulations whenever service is performed on hydraulic components (valves, cylinders, hoses, etc.) or gearbox.

TROUBLESHOOTING HYDRAULICS Note: In troubleshooting a self-contained hydraulic system, it is necessary to isolate the pump from the hydraulic motors to determine which unit is malfunctioning. A worn pump or motor will both give the same system indication. Run a pressure and flow check on the pump first to make sure that it is performing within the operating specifications, then check the motor for the correct specifications.
Page 51
TROUBLESHOOTING HYDRAULICS PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY Tank unloads slow. Insufficient oil flow to motors. Increase tractor RPM speed. Plugged oil filter. Replace filter. Hydraulic pump defective. Replace hydraulic pump. Hydraulic motor defective. Repair or replace hydraulic motor. Oil too thin. Replace with heavier oil. Not enough oil flow to hydraulic Change oil filter, replace oil with pump.
Page 52
TROUBLESHOOTING HYDRAULICS PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY Intake Auger turns too slow. Excessive or wet grain. The higher the moisture content and weight of the material that is being conveyed, the more power it takes. Adjust the variable speed control valve to allow more oil to the hydraulic motor.
