GENERAL FIELD OPERATION
The following is a procedure for the general field operation of A50 and A100 models. Remember
to follow and understand all safety guidelines previously described when operating the machine.
Disregard any information that is not applicable to your A50 or A100 model.
1. Understand and follow the Pre-Operation checklist, as described in section ‘
’.
2. Understand and memorize the location and function of all controls, as described in sections
’.
3. Understand and follow all safety guidelines described in this manual.
4. Clear area of all bystanders (especially children) and make sure there are no riders on the
machine.
For A50 skid steer model only proceed to step 7 (steps 5 and 6 do not apply).
5. Start the engine at low idle, using choke if necessary (on CE units it will be necessary to put
the auger on/off switch in the ‘off’ position before starting the engine. On CE self-propelled
units, the parking brake will also need to be engaged before starting the engine). Increase
engine speed to desired level (for electric stationary model start electric motor). Be sure that
all controls are in neutral and that wheels are blocked (or parking brake is engaged if
equipped).
6. Depress hydraulic oil cooler electric fan override button (as described in section
’) and verify that electric fan is operating (A100 models).
7. Remove wheel blocks or disengage parking brake if equipped.
8. Transport the machine to the feed loading area following guidelines as described in sections
9. Turn auger ‘on’ as outlined in section ‘
10. Proceed with loading and mixing of the ration as outlined in section ‘
’.
Danger:
Never stand on the mixer platform while the drum is being loaded. Stay out of reach
of the loading equipment.
Danger:
Never enter the mixing chamber unless the mixer is parked on a flat, level surface,
all controls are in neutral, parking brake is applied if equipped (if not, block wheels),
engine is stopped, ignition key is removed, all moving parts have stopped, and the
spark plug lead has been disconnected and grounded (to ensure the engine does
not start unexpectedly). Failure to follow these safety precautions can result in
serious injury or death.
