PERFORMING MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine of the towing vehicle in a closed
building. The exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.
Before working on the mixer/feeder, stop the towing vehicle, set the brakes, and disengage the PTO
and all power drives, shut off the engine and remove the ignition keys.
Be certain all moving parts on attachments have come to a complete stop before attempting to
perform maintenance.
Always use a safety support and block the wheels. Never use a jack to support the machine.
Always use the proper tools or equipment for the job at hand.
Use extreme caution when making adjustments.
Never use your hands to locate hydraulic leaks on attachments. Use a small piece of cardboard or
wood. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin.
When disconnecting hydraulic lines, shut off hydraulic supply and relieve all hydraulic pressure.
Openings in the skin and minor cuts are susceptible to infection from hydraulic fluid. If injured by
escaping hydraulic fluid, see a doctor at once. Gangrene can result. Without immediate treatment,
serious infection and reactions can occur.
Replace all shields and guards after servicing and before moving. After servicing, be sure all tools,
parts and service equipment are removed.
Do not allow grease or oil to build up on any step or platform.
Never replace hex bolts with less than grade five (5) bolts unless otherwise specified.
Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine factory
replacement parts must be used to restore your equipment to original specifications.
Kirby Manufacturing will not be responsible for damages caused using
unapproved parts
and/or
accessories. This will void your warranty.
If equipment has been altered in any way from original design, Kirby Manufacturing does not accept
any liability for injury or warranty.
A fire extinguisher and first aid kit should be kept readily accessible while performing maintenance
on this mixer/feeder.
