NGAGEMENT
The mixer may be operated by engaging the PTO.
Always engage the tractor PTO with the tractor
engine at idle speed. After the PTO is engaged,
increase the engine speed gradually until the
advertised operating PTO speed is obtained.
Reverse the PTO engagement steps to disengage
the PTO.
For smooth PTO operation and to help increase the
life of the PTO driveline, make sure the tractor is
aligned straight with the frame of the grinder mixer
whenever possible.
IMPORTANT: If mixing while in transport, avoid
sharp and unnecessary turns which may damage
the PTO driveline.

A feed gate is provided in the mill throat with a
rubber baffle (removed for roll feed installation)
behind it (See Figure 17). The feed gate should be
set to the lowest possible position to allow material
to flow into the hammer mill evenly.

The hay retard bolts will help maintain uniform
feeding while grinding hay (See Figure 18). The
degree of the retard is adjusted by loosening the
lock nuts on each of the retard bolts, turning the
bolts in (increase) or out (decrease) to the desired
position. Secure the bolts by tightening the lock
nuts.
