MIXER OPERATION

Always refer to OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS and SAFETY DECALS in SAFETY section of this manual before operating this mixer.

LIMITATIONS

Do not load hay without other dry commodities in the mixer first to act as a carrier or “lubricant”.

Do not overload hay content. Kuhn Knight Inc. recommends a maximum of 15% to 20% of unprocessed hay by weight in the load. Exceeding this percentage can decrease mixing performance or could potentially damage mixer and cause premature wear on driveline components.

WARNINGS

Do not use tough hay (20% to 60% moisture) Always use cured, dry hay. Wet hay, foreign objects or overloading may cause binding and damage to the mixer and hay pan.

Kuhn Knight Inc. will not be responsible for damage caused by overloading, wet hay or foreign objects.

Do not force hay into auger with loader or any other device. The area over the auger does not have bucket guards, avoid bucket contact with the auger to prevent potential damage to knives and auger.

Do not overload Hay Maxx System with too much hay. This can cause bridging over the auger. Never attempt to release jammed materials or clean out materials from the Hay Maxx System area without stopping tractor engine and removing driveline.

Do not lower Hay Maxx System pan to force hay into the top auger. This will cause damage to the Hay Maxx System and or the mixer.

MIXING TIME

The Mixer can mix an average load in 3 to 4 minutes. Due to this short mixing time, there is normally no reason to run the mixer during loading except to level the materials or to break up hay.

With Hay Maxx System option: If the hay goes through too fast, try loading more commodities in the mixer before loading the hay. Adjust the position of the Hay Maxx System pan to allow more processing (see HAY MAXX SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS in the INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENTS section.)
