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.
DRIVELINE SHEAR BOLTS
3136, 3142, 3150, 3160, 3170 & 3195 ONLY
The driveline has a shear bolt assembly for overload protection. This shear bolt type overload protection needs very little maintenance. If the motor free spins during operation, the shear bolt has broken. Replace the sheared bolt with a new one of the same diameter, length and grade. Any bolt of different specifications than listed below will prevent the shear bolt assembly from operating properly and can cause damage to the mixer.
