GRINDER MIXER ADJUSTMENTS

CAUTION:  DO  NOT  MAKE  ANY 
ADJUSTMENTS WHILE THE MACHINE 
IS IN OPERATION. BE SURE TO SHUT 
OFF THE TACTOR AND PLACE KEY IN 
POCKET 

WHILE 

MAKING 

ADJUSTMENTS. 

WAIT

The  mill  to  mixer  auger/supplement  hopper  drive 
chain  and  the  discharge  auger  drive  chain  are 
tensioned with a wood block idler. (See Figure 144 
and  Figure  145.)  Adjust  the  chain  tension  to  1/2 
inch total deflection by  positioning  the  wood block 
idler.

Adjust  the  tension  of  the  main  drive  chain  by 
loosening the idler roller and bolt, and then sliding 
the idler sprocket toward the chain. (See Figure 44.) 
Re-tighten  the  idler  roller  bolt  and  make  sure  the 
chain deflection is 1/2 inch total at the longest span. 

NOTE:

 Chain should be checked and oiled daily.

Your  CattleMaxx  may  be  equipped  with  a  belt 
driven  roll  speed  differential  that  increases  the 
speed  of  the  eccentric  roll.  Be  certain  to  maintain 
proper  belt  tension  with  stretch  loaded  idler  (See 
Figure  144)  as  the  belts  will  stretch  during  their 
break-in period. Improper tensioning or overloading 
the  mill  will  cause  the  belts  to  slip  causing 
premature wear and reduced belt life.

The  minimum  roll  gap  on  the  mill  must  be 
maintained to ensure a consistent fine particle size. 
This should be monitored as the rolls wear and also 
need  to  be  adjusted  for  any  replacement  or  re-
grooved rolls. 

DANGER: 

DO 

NOT 

MAKE 

ANY 

ADJUSTMENTS 

WHILE 

THE 

CATTLEMAXX IS IN OPERATION.

 

To open the roll gap, loosen the eccentric lock bolts 
(See Figure 147) with the wrench provided and pull 
up on the eccentric roll handle. A pointer gage (See 
Figure  147)  on  the  eccentric  roll  bearing  housing 
can be used as a reference for wider roll gaps. Each 
mark  on  the  gage  is  approximately  0.015  inch  of 
additional roll gap.  Always re-tighten the eccentric
