IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE OPERATING MIXER. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITy OF THE OWNER TO
MARE SuRE THE MIXER IS SET uP PROPERLy. THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS SHOuLD
BE HELPFuL
•
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.
•
Auger Knives
Should be rotated/replaced when the long stem material is no longer sufficiently broke up, and there is a
noticeable increase in horsepower requirements. Inspect knife fasteners to be sure they are tight. Replace
any damaged or missing hardware.
•
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 turned over so the unworn hitch bar is on top, or replace 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.
•
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

INSPECTION AND ADjuSTMENTS
•
Scale Indicator: Refer to the electronic scale operators manual for adjustment information. The operator’s manual
for the Electronic Scales should be kept with this manual. Additional scale manuals may be obtained through Sioux
Automation Center, Inc.
•
Scale Bars: Should be kept clean, dry and lubricated to insure dependability.
•
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.
