SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
− THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL IS USED TO PINPOINT
CHARACTERISTICS WHICH IF NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWED
CAN CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD.
− WHEN YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL IN THIS MANUAL OR ON
THE UNIT ITSELF, YOU ARE REMINDED TO:
BE ALERT!
YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
SAFETY FIRST
FARM AND INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT INSTITUTE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL.
This symbol is used preceding all CAUTION (a general safety
reminder), WARNING (denotes a potential hazard), and DANGER
(denotes a potential injury) notices!
Most farm accidents, like industrial, home, and highway accidents are caused by the failure of some
individuals to observe simple and fundamental safety rules or precautions. For this reason, farm
accidents, just as other types of accidents, can be prevented by recognising the causes of accidents and
doing something about them before an accident occurs.
Regardless of the care used in the design and construction of farm equipment, there are many points
that cannot be completely safeguarded without interfering with accessibility and efficient operation.
A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE BEST INSURANCE AGAINST AN ACCIDENT
The complete observance of one simple rule would prevent many thousand serious injuries each year.
That rule is "NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, OIL, OR ADJUST A MACHINE WHILE IN
MOTION".

location of all moving parts, caution decals, the general operating dimensions, and the basic
working features of the
2. All lubrication has been completed at the factory prior to delivery and will not be immediately
necessary. For Lubrication intervals and specifications see the enclosed Lubrication Schedule.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT OVER GREASE BEARINGS, SEAL FAILURE AND
SUBSEQUENT PREMATURE BEARING FAILURE COULD RESULT.
3. When you receive your
source for the solenoid that switches power between the hydraulic functions (if so equipped).
The switch box is supplied with a lead that has 1 white wire and 1 black wire. The white wire
is to be hooked to positive and the black is to be hooked to ground. It is recommended to hook
these leads into a switched power source such as a keyed ignition. This will eliminate the
possibility of draining the battery if the switch is left on. When not in use, be sure to turn unit
off.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS KEEP POWER CONNECTIONS TIGHT, NEAT AND FREE
FROM DIRT AND CORROSION! DO NOT HOOK THE LEADS FOR THE SWITCH

OPERATION
1. Before attempting to fill the mixer, make sure that the discharge door is completely closed, the
chute is in the up position, and the mixing chamber is free of any foreign objects.
IMPORTANT! IF THE DISCHARGE DOOR IS LEFT OPEN DURING MIXING,
FEED MAY BECOME TIGHTLY PLUGGED AGAINST THE CONVEYOR AND
DAMAGE IT.
2. Refer to the Owner's Manual of the truck before operating the mixer, to ensure proper PTO
engagement.

IMPORTANT! THE MIXER SHOULD ALWAYS STAND LEVEL WHEN MIXING!
4. Due to the nature of mixing and cutting long stem hay, pin shearing is something that can be
expected. The shear pin is designed to be the weakest li nk in the drive train and i ts shearing is
to prevent damage to critical components. Therefore never replace shear pins with a higher
tensile strength or grade pin. If a machine is regularly shearing pins, the operator should first
look for mechanical problems such as worn knives or a bearing failure, then evaluate loading
procedures and lastly, call for technical assistance.
5. If a
MaxiMixer
(counter clockwise from the front) will not resolve the problem, it will be necessary to reverse
the mixer. This can safely be done by first turning off all power sources, setting the parking
brake and waiting for all motion to stop before removing the PTO from the input shaft end.
Then fit the supplied T handle to the input shaft, and then turn the T handle (facing the mixer)
clockwise to loosen the plugged material.
CAUTION:

6. Proper loading procedure involves loading smaller quantity ingredients in the center of the
mixer first, to cover up the mixing paddles. This will prevent the aggressive paddles from
grabbing too much hay before it can be first adequately processed by the knives on the auger
flighting. Loading long stem hay in the center of the mixer increases the chances of shearing
pins. If not happy with the resulting ration, some sequencing changes may need to be made. If
sequencing changes do not fix your ration problems, see the factory for further assistance. Do
not be concerned about the appearance of the ration in the mixer; the appearance and evenness
of the ration is determined only in the bunk.

HAY HAY
7. To discharge feed from the
MaxiMixer
it is necessary to first start the conveyor (either self
contained hydraulics, or tractor supplied) and then open the discharge door. The conveyor and
the door operate on two different hydraulic circuits and can be operated independently. The rate
of ration flowing from the
MaxiMixer
can be controlled by the door position. The higher the
door is raised, the more feed it will allow out, and vice versa.
IMPORTANT! ALWAYS START THE DISCHARGE BEFORE OPENING THE
DOOR TO PREVENT JAMMING FEED AGAINST THE CONVEYOR!
6
8. Normal mixing time is form 1 to 2 minutes after the last ingredient has been added. It is
necessary to run the
long stem hay or ensilage. It is not necessary to run the machine while loading. Strive for the
shortest mixing time possible, as over-mixing will decrease the value of the ration and will
cause unnecessary wear on the machine.
9. Proper mixing patterns are achieved when two cavities are visible in the mixer, one in the front
and one in the rear. Feed must be able to tumble from the top to the bottom of the mixer to
obtain maximum mixing potential. A mixer that is struck level full will not mix properly and
will put undue stress on moving parts.
10. Do not leave partially mixed loads in the machine for long periods of time such as during the
day or overnight. Acids from the feed will react with the steel and will cause premature
deterioration of the machine. It is better to mix two small loads, than one large load.

MAINTENANCE
Your MaxiMixer will be delivered, fully lubricated and set up to all drive component installation
specifications. During the break in of your new MaxiMixer, it is recommended that a complete
daily inspection of all drive components be carried out. Throughout the life of your Maximixer, a
complete inspection of all drive components, fasteners, auger knives and shields should be
carried out during scheduled lubrication times. Wore or damaged parts must be replaced, loose or
misaligned parts must be adjusted and tightened to assure proper operation and life of
components.
WARNING: Always shut off engine, set parking brake, remove the key and
wait for all motion to stop before attempting to adjust, lubricate, service or
setup this machine!
CHAINS
Discharge Conveyor Chain
A. The conveyor chain will loosen up some during the first few hours of operation and over the
life of the discharge. Lift a flight near the center of the table. It should move about an inch
off the floor. Remember when tightening the chain to move both take ups the same distance
so the conveyor chain runs straight along the length of the discharge.
Oil bath Roller Chain and Sprockets
Chain Tension
B. Be sure it is tensioned adequately to prevent tooth jumping (ratcheting) under the most severe
load conditions, which the drive will encounter during operation.
C. Adjust spring tightener, to eliminate any slack in roller chain, by moving S-hook along
tightening chain to increase tension on spring.
Drive Alignment
D. Any degree of sprocket misalignment will result in some reduction of chain life.
Misalignment of all roller chain sprocket drives should not exceed 1/4 degree or 1/16” per
foot of linear distance. Misalignment should be checked with a good, straight edge tool. The
tool should be applied from the driver to driven, and then from the driven to driver sprockets
so that the total effect of parallel and angular misalignment is taken into account.
E. Drive misalignment can cause premature sprocket and chain wear. Extreme case may result
binding of chain and drive failure. Alignment of sprockets, using shims and the adjusting
screw on the jackshaft, is critical for proper operation of your MaxiMixer.
Upper Auger Shear Sprocket
8
F. The shear sprocket uses one 5/8 X 3-1/2” NF grade 8 bolt. Any change from this
specification will void warranty.
POWER TAKE OFF SHAFTS
G. Keep PTO shaft covers in place at all times. Keep universal joints greased. The PTO shear
uses a 5/16 x 2" NF grade 5 bolt. Any change from this specification will void warranty.
AUGERS
Knives
H. Auger Knives should be checked regularly for lose or damaged knives and tightened or
replaced as required. A minimum of grade 5 carriage bolts and lock nuts should be used
because of wear.
I. Rotating knives from high wear areas (middle of auger) to low wear areas (end of auger) will
increase the life of the knife set and maintain a high level of cutting action. Knifes wore past
the tungsten coating and are not effective for cutting should be replaced. Knifes should be set
as close as possible to stainless steel bars on the belly, but must not hit.
Bushings
J. Both augers run on oil impregnated nylon bushings at the front of the mixer. This assembly is
designed to make a metal rubbing metal squealing sound when bushing is wore and needs
replacement. Prolong use at this stage, without replacing bushing, will cause damage to both
the stub shaft and auger sleeve.
K. To change the bushing: - support the auger in the mixer
- remove the stub shaft from the front of the mixer
- remove the wore bushing from the auger sleeve
- tap new bushing into auger sleeve using wooden block
- grease stub shaft and reinstall
- remove auger support and any foreign objects from inside mixer
