OPERATION
REPLACEMENT PARTS
READ complete manual CAREFULLY
BEFORE attempting operation.
PTO HORSEPOWER REQUIREMENTS
•
PTO horsepower requirements are based on most normal dairy or beef rations. Horsepower requirements may vary
depending on the ration or material to be mixed.
•
Refer to tractor weight requirements for these recommendations and transporting safety precautions for additional
tractor and towing requirements.
DRAWBAR ATTACHING SYSTEM
•
Adjust tractor drawbar and/or the mixer clevis hitch so that the mixer is approximtely level. The top of the drawbar
should be 8”-12” below the tractor PTO shaft. Adjust the drawbar horizontally so that the hitch pin hole is 14”-16”
behind the tractor PTO and the drawbar is centered and locked into place.
•
A hitch pin with a minumum of 1” diameter with a retainer pin is recommended for the 4400 mixer. A 1-5/16” diameter
hitch pin with a retainer pin is recommended for the 4500, 4600 & 4700 models.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
•
Dual hydraulic outlets are required for operating the door and either the slide tray or the powerchute. If your tractor
has only a single set of ports, then either the 3 bank valve option or one of the 2 hose with manual selector valve
options should be ordered. On units with the power chute option, the chute hoses may be difficult to connect due
to the chute weight on the lift cylinder. Lift weight off chute cylinder to connect hoses. Tractor hydraulic system
requirements are 6 GPM @ 1500 PSI when a slide tray is used, 15 GPM @2000 PSI when a 3-auger power chute is used.
MIXER SETUP
•
Check for proper assembly, adjustment, and lubrication. Check to see that there is adequate oil in the oil bath. If power
chute is used, oil the roller chains. Check all bolt and set screws are tight.
•
Be sure all shields are properly in place.
•
Check for and remove any foreign objects in the mixer hopper and discharge opening.
•
Check to see that drain plugs are installed and the door is closed.
•
Be sure no one is inside the mixer.
•
Test run the mixer.
• Make sure mixer is empty, then start the mixer.
• Run for at least five minutes at rated PTO RPM.
• Raise and lower the door and operate the chute/slide tray several times.
• Disengage the mixer and turn off the tractor engine and remove driveline.
• Check the mixer drive components to be sure they are not abnormally hot.
If any of these items are not running as indicated, immediately repair or contact your service representative.
MIXER RUN-IN
•
To adjust the height of the power chute, change the length of the link chains on the sides of the chute. For best perfor-
mance, the unloading height should be set at the lowest height possible. The discharge tip-off on the power chute should
be adjusted for correct magnet and discharge angle. Remove or loosen the upper bolts, pivot the tip off to the desired
angles and reinstall or retighten all bolts.
POWER CHUTE ADJUSTMENT (OPTIONAL)
To avoid personal injury: The hopper floor may be slippery and the auger can spin unexpectedly when stepped on.
Use caution when stepping or standing inside the unit, place a protective cover over the auger knives when work
inside the box is required.
