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.

MISCELLANEOUS:

Electronic Scale Indicator (optional)

Refer to the electronic scale operators manual for adjustment information. The operator’s manual for the Electronic Scales should be kept with this manual. Additional scale manuals may be obtained through Kuhn Knight INC. 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. Weight may change slightly due to terrain changes when mixer is moved.

Oil Quality in bull gear oil bath - it is normal for the oil in the oil bath to have some water present, due to conden- sation. This will cause the oil to have a milky appearance, and a moderate amount of water does not effect the lubricating characteristics of the oil. See lubrication section for oil change intervals.

Timing of Augers - if the machine has had augers removed for any reason, it is important to get the augers properly re-timed to each other. Be sure augers are installed as shown;

Gears and Gearbox - if excessive gear noise is noticed or backlash of each individual auger exceeds 3/4 inch at the tip of the leading edge, contact dealer for proper adjustment or maintenance.
