3.8 Unloading
To unload the CMF‑700, perform the following steps:
1. If possible, move the mixer to the unloading site while finishing the mixing stage to avoid the need for
loaded PTO start‑up.
2. Align CMF with bunk and lower the conveyor extension to desired angle (if equipped).
3. Engage the chain conveyor; chain speed is controlled using the auxiliary valve flow control on the tractor.
4. If the augers are not already engaged, engage the PTO.
5. Open the tub door and proceed along the bunk. Engine speeds around 1500 rpm are usually adequate
when the tub is full, however engine should be run at rated speed to clean out the tub and provide even
feed flow when the tub is near empty. If equipped with two‑speed gearbox, turn off mixer and shift to
high speed and re‑engage to achieve maximum clean out RPM. Most new tractors have P.T.O. brakes
which will require the tractor to be turned off before the two‑ speed can be shifted.
3.9 Storing the CMF-700 mixer/feeder
Warning: When preparing machine for storage, use normal shut‑down procedure.
To prepare the CMF‑700 for storage, perform the following steps:
1. Clean all mud, dirt, grease and other foreign material from the exterior and interior of the machine. Wash
the complete machine. To inhibit rusting repaint places where bare metal is exposed.
2. Place the jackstand in the down and in locked position. Place wheel chocks under wheels if needed to
keep machine from rolling. If possible, store the machine in a dry, protected place. (If it is necessary to
store the machine outside, cover it with waterproof canvas, plastic, or other suitable protective material.)
3. Coat exposed lift cylinder rods with grease. Oil chains on conveyors. Lubricate thoroughly according to
lubrication instructions. Repack wheel bearings.
4. Check the machine for any worn or broken parts. By ordering parts now, you will avoid delays when it
is time to remove the machine from storage. When ordering parts always specify machine serial number
and the part number of the replacement part. Part numbers can be found in the parts section of this
manual.
