BREAKING-IN
Although there are no operational restrictions for the machine when used for the first time, it is
recommended that the following items be checked prior to first use:
13.1 Before Starting:
Follow break-in procedures outlined by the engine manufacturer (self-propelled, trailer,
and truck mounted models).
Check for debris inside the drum.
Open and close discharge door(s) and make sure it (they) move(s) easily. Check to see if
door position lock engages at different door height positions (manually operated doors).
Check to see that steering works properly and that steering chain is tight (self-propelled
models).
Depress and release both sides of speed/direction control pedal and make sure the pedal
returns to neutral (self-propelled models).
On units with manual auger control valves, check control to be sure that it moves without
too much resistance (be sure T-handle is not in ‘lock’ position on A50 self-propelled units).
On CE self-propelled units, make sure that the engine can only be started when auger
on/off switch is in the ‘off’ position and parking brake is engaged.
Check hydraulic oil level, engine oil level and fuel level. Add fluids if necessary.
Check that no hoses are pinched, rubbing, or being crimped. Re-align as required.
On CE self-propelled units, make sure that the horn is working by pressing the horn button
(location shown in section ‘
’).
13.2 After operating for ½ hour:
Park the mixer on flat, level surface, put controls in neutral, apply parking brake if
equipped (if not, block wheels), stop engine, remove ignition key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop. Be sure to let engine and hydraulic system cool to a safe temperature
before servicing, adjusting or repairing any of these components. Disconnect the spark
plug lead and ground it to ensure the engine does not start unexpectedly.
Check the auger. Remove all string, twine, or other entangled material.
Check for oil leaks. Stop leaks before continuing.
Lubricate all grease fittings.
13.3 After operating for 5 hours and 10 hours:
Park the mixer on flat, level surface, put controls in neutral, apply parking brake if
equipped (if not, block wheels), stop engine, remove ignition key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop. Be sure to let engine and hydraulic system cool to a safe temperature
before servicing, adjusting or repairing any of these components. Disconnect the spark
plug lead and ground it to ensure the engine does not start unexpectedly.
Check all wheel nuts, fasteners, and hardware.
Check the auger. Remove all string, twine, or other entangled material.
Proceed with normal servicing and maintenance schedule as defined in the maintenance
section.
