Single Auger Trailer Units
Cutting and Mixing Procedures
Follow these procedures when using the machine:
1. Attach the machine to the tractor, as described in the
‘Attaching/Unhooking’
section.
2. Review the Pre-Operation checklist, as described in the
‘Pre-Operation Checklist’
section.
3. Review the location and function of all controls, as described in the
‘Controls’
section.
4. Transport the machine to the feed storage area.
5. Starting:
Always follow this procedure when starting the machine to minimize high startup loads and
the breaking of shear bolts:
a. Start the tractor engine and run at low speed.
b. Engage the PTO clutch to start auger.
Important: Rapid engagement under a heavy load can break the shear bolt. Engage slowly for
the best results.
c. Increase engine speed until the desired RPM is reached.
d. Proceed with loading of the ration.
6. Stopping:
a. Stop forward motion.
b. Close unloading door.
c. Stop conveyor when commodity is off.
d. Slow engine to low idle.
e. Disengage PTO clutch.
f.
Stop engine if required.
7. Emergency Stopping:
If an emergency should arise, disengage PTO, turn hydraulics off, stop forward motion and
stop engine immediately.
8. Loading Feed Rations:
a. Position the mixer where the loading machine has clear and easy access.
b. Start the machine (Refer to #5). Run at rated PTO speed.
c. Begin adding ingredients to the mixing chamber in order to cut and mix a uniform feed
ration.
Important: Always remove twine, string, and wrapping material from bales and/or other
commodities from the ground that will be loaded into the mixing chamber. Failure to
follow these requirements can cause damage to the machine.
Important: It is recommended to add the light and fluffy ingredients into the mixing chamber
first. Then the heavier and denser material will force the lighter ingredients into the
mixture.
