5000 SERIES HD TRAILER OWNER MANUAL
Unloading Procedure
Follow these guidelines when unloading the machine:
1. Transport the machine to the feeding area.
2. If not already done, engage the PTO to start auger rotation.
3.
a. For models equipped with front discharge use a combination of unloading door height,
conveyor speed and ground speed to distribute the feed mixture. Follow this order:
i. Start the conveyor
ii. Raise the unloading door
iii. Start the auger if not already turning
iv. Drive along feeding bunk/area to unload the feed mixture
b. For models equipped with centre side or corner door discharge use a combination unloading
door height and ground speed to distribute the feed mixture. Follow this order:
i. Raise the unloading door
ii. Start the auger (if not already moving)
iii. Begin driving along feeding area to unload the feed mixture
4. Monitor scale indicator readings to evaluate ration distribution to unloading areas.
5. Continue unloading until mixing chamber is empty or desired amount of mixed ration has been
unloaded.
IMPORTANT: It may be necessary, to completely empty the mixer of all commodities, to turn the auger
at the fastest speed possible. This will propel feed that is resting on the auger off its flighting.
Mixing Tips
•
Place light, fluffy, least dense ingredients into the machine first. In that way, the heavier and denser
material added later will push the light material into the auger. Always place hay (round, square, or
loose) into the machine first.
•
Shake the bucket on the loader to control the amount of material being added to the machine.
Watch the weight indicator to know exactly how much of each ingredient you are adding.
•
Operate the auger for 3 to 5 minutes after the last ingredient has been added before unloading to
ensure a uniform mixture. Mixing times will vary depending on the type of ingredients being mixed.
Visually monitor the mixture to ensure that mixing is complete.
•
Consult with a feed nutritionist to determine the best combination of ingredients for your
requirements. Following their recommendations will ensure the best results with your total mixed
ration (TMR). This translates into maximum efficiency of your Jaylor investment.
