MIXER SETUP

READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN SETTING UP THE MIXER.

To avoid personal injury: The hopper floor may be slippery and the augers or reel can spin unexpectedly when stepped on. Use caution when stepping or standing inside the unit; put a protective cover over the auger knives.

SAFETY SHIELDS

Be sure all shields are in place and functioning properly. Replace all damaged or missing shields immediately; see Parts Manual for replacement shield part numbers.

BE AWARE that your installation may require additional safety shields and/or warnings. Because each installation is different, Kuhn Knight Inc. cannot design standard shields for all conceivable situations without limiting the use of the mixer. The top of the mixer and the door opening are the two areas that should be given particular attention in regard to safety. The top of the mixer has a grid type safety shield to help prevent a person from falling into the mixer. However, because there are many different feeds and ways of loading them, the top openings must be large enough to avoid obstructing the loading operation. Likewise, the door opening area must be unobstructed to allow the discharge of feed.

Kuhn Knight Inc. warns operators using decals on the mixer and specific instructions in this manual to stay clear of these areas during operation. If safety decals are blocked from view due to the installation, then additional decals should be ordered and placed so they are readable. If your particular installation is such that a person may inadvert- ently put an arm or leg in these areas during operation, then additional safety shielding must be installed to prevent such an occurrence. Drives, u-joints, sprockets and pulleys underneath the unit may become exposed if the equipment is mounted at an elevated height. Additional shielding of these areas may be necessary depending on exact installation.

AUGER KNIVES

The upper auger knives are installed to help handle long materials such as long stem hay. If you do not intend to handle this type of material, the knives can be removed. Commercial Reel models ordered with the Grain Series package do not include knives unless a Hay Maxx System was installed.

REEL CROSS TUBES

The cross tubes have two settings which can be utilized depending on the material being mixed. The tubes are factory set in the outer position. In general, the inner setting is used for a high hay ration. To change to the inner position, compress and secure the tube into the spring, and relocate the capture bolt to the inner holes. The square wiper tubes should not be moved. Repeat for all non-wiper tubes.
