MAINTENANCE

ALWAYS STOP MIXER, SHUT OFF TRACTOR ENGINE AND REMOVE DRIVELINE BEFORE SERVICING, REPAIRING, OR CLEANING. IF WORK MUST BE PERFORMED INSIDE THE MIXER, PUT A PROTECTIVE COVER OVER THE AUGER KNIVES TO AVOID INJURY. THE HOPPER FLOOR AND FLIGHTING MAY BE SLIPPERY. USE CAUTION WHEN STEPPING OR STANDING INSIDE THE UNIT. USE SAFE SHOP PROCEDURES AND EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON THIS MIXER!

LUBRICATION:

It is extremely important that the following lubrication guide be followed:

For lubricating bearings, use a good quality multipurpose grease. Replace all damaged or missing grease zerks immediately. Always clean zerks before using grease gun. Pump the grease in slowly until a slight bead forms around the bearing seals. Once a month check lines and connections on grease banks for leaks.

The gear drive enclosure is designed to be used as an oil bath. With the unit level, fill oil bath through dipstick until the oil level reaches the notch on the dipstick. 5032, 5042 & 5055 require 25 approximately gallons, 5073, 5085 & 50100 require approximately 30 gallons of 30wt detergent oil.
