MAINTENANCE
NORMAL SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE OPERATING MIXER.
•
Roller Chain Tighteners
so they apply sufficient spring tension to keep roller chains running smoothly. The chain
will form grooves in the tightener blocks. These grooves help to keep the chains in proper alignment, and the blocks
need not be turned unless the roller portion of the chain has worn into the block.
•
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.
•
Wheel Bolts
must be kept properly torqued. Damage to the rim may occur if the wheel bolts are not checked
frequently.
•
Rain can accumulate
in the mixer if it is stored outside. If rain has accumulated, remove the drain plugs on the
mixer bellies and allow the water to drain completely and replace the drain plugs before the next use.
•
In Freezing Weather
the mixer should be checked for snow and ice accumulation before operating the unit. If
accumulation is detected, remove the drain plugs on the mixer bellies and thaw the mixer and allow it to drain
completely. Make sure all obstructions are removed then replace the drain plugs before the next use of the mixer.
•
IMPORTANT! WHEN WELDING ON THIS UNIT:
Do NOT allow the current to flow through the bearings, roller chains,
or load cells. Ground directly to the item being welded. ALWAYS disconnect battery cables and also the load cell
cables from the scale indicator before welding.
INSPECT AND ADJUST
•
Augers
for residue buildup. Clean augers will result in a faster and more efficient mixing of commodities. Check
augers and clean off residue buildup regularly.
