INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS
IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE OPERATING MIXER. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
OWNER TO MARE SURE THE MIXER IS SET UP PROPERLY. THE FOLLOWING RECOM-
MENDATIONS SHOULD BE HELPFUL
Roller Chain Tighteners
so they apply suffi cient spring tension to keep roller chains running smoothly (As
a general rule the thickness of a nickel should fi t between the spring coils). The chain will form grooves in the
tightener blocks. These grooves help to keep the chains in proper alignment, and the blocks need not be turned
unless the roller portion of the chain has worn into the block.
Roller Chains
for wear, proper alignment and tension. Adjust or replace if necessary. Roller chain connector
links which pass over polyethylene tightener blocks must have the legs of the cotter pins trailing to the direction
of rotation.
Safety Decals
for readability. If any safety decals are removed, obstructed, or otherwise not understandable,
they should be replaced immediately. Keep all decals clean and visible.
Safety Shielding
to be sure all shielding is in place and functions properly. Replace all damaged or missing
shielding immediately - see parts pages for more information.
Bolts and Set Screws
after a few hours of use and each month thereafter. Tighten if necessary.
Reel Wipers
plastic strips which help material clean out of the reel hopper. If the strips become bent back, they
can be unbolted and turned around or replaced to improve clean out.
Upper Auger Knives
can be turned over for use on a new cutting edge and should be periodically sharpened,
or replaced if they are no longer suffi ciently breaking up material.
Lower Auger Round Knives
can be rotated several times before sharpening or replacement is required.
Rain can accumulate
in mixer if stored outside, always remove drain plugs on hopper ends to allow unit to
drain completely and replace drain plugs before next use.
Freezing Weather
the PTO shield requires extra grease to prevent freezing. Snow can accumulate in mixer
if stored outside, always remove drain plugs on hopper ends to allow unit to drain completely and check hopper
for snow or ice buildup before operating unit. Thaw and remove any obstruction and replace drain plugs before
next use.
IMPORTANT: WHEN WELDING ON THIS UNIT:
Do NOT allow the current to fl ow through the bearings,
roller chains, or scale weigh bars. Ground directly to the item being welded.
ALWAYS
disconnect weigh bar cords
from scale indicator before welding.

INSPECT AND ADJUST
Scale Indicator:
Refer to the electronic scale operators manual for adjustment information. The operator’s
manual for the Electroic Scales should be kept with this manual. Additional scale manuals may be obtained
through Sioux Automation Center, Inc.
Load Cells:
Should be kept clean, dry and lubricated to insure dependabiltiy.
Normal Scale Activity:
Some warm up scale “drift” may occur after the scale is turned on but should zero
balance within 10-15 minutes. Scale may zero shift over night due to temperature changes.
