MAINTENANCE

Always stop mixer, shut off the truck’s engine and remove the ignition key before servicing, repairing or cleaning the machine.

If work must be done inside the mixer, put a protective cover over the auger knives to avoid injury. The hopper floor and fighting may be slippery. Use caution when stepping on or standing inside the machine.

Use safe shop procedures and exercise caution when working on the mixer!

LUBRICATION FOR 5173, 5185 AND 51100

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. 5173, 5185 & 51100 require approximately 30 gallons of 30wt oil.
