INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS

IMPORTANT! Read before operating mixer.

It is the responsibility of the owner to make sure the mixer is set up properly.

The following recommendations should be helpful.

HAY MAXX SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS

To avoid personal injury: The hopper floor may be slippery and the reel and augers can spin unexpectedly when stepped on. Use caution when stepping or standing inside the unit, put a protective cover over the auger knives, and be prepared to handle the unbalanced weight of the hay pan as it is moved into its fixed position. Care should be taken to avoid pinch points and the knives on the upper auger as the pan is moved into place.

The Hay Maxx pan must be bolted in the fully extended upright position.

Adjusting the knife-to-pan tolerance may be necessary for different types of feedstuffs. Hay may vary in quality, moisture and material; all affecting how the hay goes through the Hay Maxx System. Knife-to-pan tolerance should never be adjusted to less than 1/2” or greater than 1”. The factory setting is 1/2” - 5/8”; field testing shows this tolerance is best for most materials.

TO ADJUST HAY PAN POSITION: Loosen bolts (3 in front & 2 at rear) at the locations shown, make adjustment, then securely retighten all five bolts.
