PROBLEM:

- BELTS SLIPPING

- SHEAR BOLT FAILS

- EXCESSIVE POWER REQUIREMENTS WHEN RUNNING MIXER

CAUSE

SOLUTION

 

 

 

 

MIXER IS OVERLOADED

Reduce load size, feed must be able to tumble from the reel cross

 

 

pipes. If reel is over full, mixing action will be greatly reduced. Feed

 

 

must not pile up between the reel and the side of the mixer. This

 

 

causes a buildup of pressure, increases the power requirements of

 

 

the mixer, and can cause pipes to bend.

 

HAY IS LOADED ON THE REEL SIDE OF THE MIXER

Load hay on the auger side of the mixer. This keeps hay from

 

 

being caught between the reel pipes and side of mixer during

 

 

initial loading.

 

BIG CHUNKS OF HAY

Break up bales before loading.

 

CROSS PIPES SET IN THE OUTER POSITION

Move reel cross pipes to the inner setting by compressing the

 

 

springs and adding bolts and lock nuts in the reel arms. Do not move

 

 

wiper arms in. See REEL CROSS TUBES in the MIXER SETUP

 

 

section.

 

HAY IS NOT FULLY CURED

Freshly baled hay tends to be green and does not tear apart easily.

 

 

Allow hay to dry or cure longer before using in the mixer.

 

AUGER KNIVES ARE NOT SHARP

Sharpen or replace knives when they become dull.

 

HAY IS TOO LONG

Round baled and stacked hay cannot be used in the mixer unless it

 

 

has been processed first, Some grassy types of hay must also be

 

 

processed before it can be used. See MATERIALS REQUIRING

 

 

PREPARATION in the MIXER OPERATION section.

 

HAY PERCENTAGE IS TOO HIGH

Mix a lower percentage of hay or change loading sequence. When

 

 

mixing the hay, run the mixer at full rated speed. See MIXER

 

 

SETUP section.

 

FOREIGN OBJECT IN MIXER

Inspect mixer and remove object.

 

IMPROPERLOADINGSEQUENCE

See LOADING AND MIXING in the MIXER OPERATION section for

 

 

recommended loading sequence.

 

FORAGE IS PILED ABOVE REEL AND WEDGED

Mixer is overloaded or operator must load forage after the mixer is

 

AGAINST MIXER WALL

started.
