4. The
MaxiMixer
has also been supplied to you with a complete scale system. Read and
understand the scale manual and familiarize yourself with its different functions. The scale
indicator needs to be connected to a power source. Connect the scale indicators power cord
directly to the solenoid operated hydraulic valve (if so equipped) or to the battery either on the
mixer or the tractor. The leads are supplied with 1 white wire and 1 black wire. The white wire
is to be connected to the positive and the black is to be connected to the ground. By having the
scale connected to a constant power source, it will save warm up time between feedings. It is
recommended to run the scale wires separately from other power lines to keep electrical
interference to a minimum. If the tractor used to run the mixer is also used for other purposes,
it is recommended to put a quality quick disconnect in the power line. A 10 amp inline fuse
also protects the scale indicator.
IMPORTANT! ALWAYS DISCONNECT SCALE LEADS BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY SERVICE WORK SUCH AS WELDING!
5. It is very important that before using your
MaxiMixer
, proper PTO length be determined and
maintained. The PTO must have a minimum and maximum engagement length that falls within
the safe use of a PTO. Too short of a PTO could result in the two halves coming apart under
load or going over uneven terrain; too long of a PTO can result in serious damage to either end
of the drive train. It is recommended that a minimum of 5" of engagement be maintained on the
PTO. Your
MaxiMixer
has been supplied to you with a standard length PTO that will work
with all tractors provided drawbar adjustments are made to maintain the correct PTO length.
DANGER!
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, TURN
OFF PTO, TURN OFF TRACTOR AND PULL THE KEY, SET
PARKING BRAKE, AND WAIT FOR ALL MOTION TO STOP
BEFORE ADJUSTING PTO LENGTH AND WORKING ON THE
DRAWBAR.
