A WORD FROM THE FOUNDER If this is your first Schuler Built Product, “WELCOME ABOARD”. You are now part of a very large growing family. Although we are talking about thousands of people, we still like to think of each one of our customers as a member of the Schuler Family.
SERIAL NUMBER AND MODEL NUMBER The Serial Number and the Model Number of the Schuler HF Feeder is found on the rear, right hand frame of the wagon. The serial number is stamped on a plate riveted into the frame just above the spring tightener.
SAFETY UNDERSTAND SAFETY WORDS AND SYMBOLS This SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL is used in this manual whenever personal safety is involved and means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! It stresses an attitude of “HEADS UP” for safety. Read and understand all pages in this manual that bear this safety symbol and……TAKE TIME TO BE CAREFUL! The header of safety decals on this equipment contain a signal word and color code to indicate the severity level of the hazard.
Page 13
SAFETY OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS When the mixer / feeder is in operation it has many moving parts which could cause severe injury or death to persons coming in contact with these parts. To help avoid serious accidents, the following guidelines should always be followed. BE SURE ALL SAFETY SHIELDS are in place before operating, including driveline shields.
Page 14
Safety tow chain may be ordered as an option from Schuler Mfg. Safety tow chain illustrated page 9. For towing a 10,000 lb. maximum gross weight, order Schuler P.N. 34T10-0000 safety tow chain.
INSTRUCTIONS IS A MISUSE OF THE EQUIPMENT! SIGN-OFF FORM Schuler follows the general standard specified by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Anyone who will be operating and/or maintaining this equipment must read and clearly understand ALL SAFETY, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE information presented in this manual.
BEFORE USING YOUR NEW MACHINE When towing a new machine, stop and feel the wheel hubs after 6-10 miles. If hub is hot to the hand, remove hub cap and back spindle nut off 1/4 – 1/2 turn. Check for proper assembly and adjustments. Make sure all lift flight bolts, floor flight bolts, hitch bolts, wheel bolts, sprocket and pulley set screws, etc.
PREPARING THE TRACTOR Mechanically driven Schuler feed wagons may only be used on tractors with 540 RPM PTO drives. No limitations are placed on tractor horsepower; however, a minimum of 40 horsepower is recommended for most applications. The tractor PTO shaft must be centered directly above the tractor drawbar. Do not operate with tractor drawbar set off to one side, damage to PTO U-joint could occur.
HITCHING TO THE TRACTOR Attach mixer/feeder to the tractor drawbar using an adequate sized hitch pin with a locking retainer pin so hitch pin cannot bounce out. Raise jack and lock in horizontal position. Depress the spring loaded bushing on the PTO yoke and slide it on the tractor PTO shaft. Be sure the lock ring snaps back into the groove of the PTO shaft.
Page 19
LOADING In winter weather before loading, be sure the floor apron and elevator are not frozen to the floor. BEGIN LOADING THE MIXER/FEEDER AT THE FRONT END AND WORK TOWARD THE BACK. When unloading, to avoid damage to the PTO drive parts, the PTO shaft must be kept straight. For best mixing action, load each ingredient in a layer across the length of the box.
Page 20
ADJUSTMENTS FLOOR APRON CONTROL CAUTION – DO NOT REMOVE SHIELDS, LUBRICATE OR ADJUST WHILE MACHINE IS RUNNING. SHUT OFF TRACTOR OR POWER SOURCE AND REMOVE IGNITION KEY. FLOOR APRON SPEEDS The floor apron speed control lever in the first notch, lever completely pushed in disengages the floor apron.
Page 21
ADJUSTMENTS FLOOR APRON CONTROL WHEN CHECKING OR ADJUSTING FLOOR APRON SPEEDS, HAVE TRACTOR PTO DRIVELINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRACTOR, AND WAGON EMPTY. STEP 1 – Have PTO driveline laying straight forward over the hitch, disconnected from the tractor. STEP 2 – Open lower shield. Pull downward on drive belt as it comes off the jack shaft drive pulley.
ADJUSTMENTS FLOOR APRON The floor apron on your Schuler Mixer has been designed for maximum strength and long life. Pintle chain is standard equipment with a much higher strength than 67X steel detachable chain. The apron driving sprockets should push against the barrel end of the pintle link, not the pin.
Page 23
FLOOR APRON CHAIN ADJUSTMENT Periodically inspect the spring tighteners on the floor apron at the rear of the box. When the spring tighteners have pushed the rear apron shaft to the rear of the tightener slot, the chain adjustment is completely used up.
DISCHARGE CONVEYOR CHAIN ADJUSTMENT Lower 4’ feeder extension down to the lowest position. Place a 1-1/2” tall block under a crossbar 2’ back from the outer end of the 4’ feeder extension. Tighten conveyor chain so that crossbar is snug on the block but can still be removed by hand from under the crossbar. Make sure conveyor chain is equal tightness on both sides by sliding block under the crossbar close to each side chain.
AXLE SETTING AND ADJUSTMENT The axle is set at the factory for proper weight distribution between the hitch and axle, and no further adjustment should be necessary. Loading should always start at the front of the mixer/feeder and work towards the back. TIGHTEN 8-BOLT WHEELS TO 85-105 FOOT POUNDS TORQUE.
The Schuler Mixer/Feeder is designed to require a minimum amount of lubrication, with precision, triple lip, sealed bearings widely used. However, the points that are to be lubricated should be serviced regularly, at the intervals listed.
