MIXER SETUP
READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN SETTING UP THE MACHINE.
To avoid personal injury: The hopper floor may be slippery and the augers can spin unexpectedly when stepped on. Use caution when stepping or standing inside the unit and put a protective cover over the auger knives.
SAFETY SHIELDS
Be sure all safety shields are in place and functioning properly. Replace all damaged or missing shields immediately. See parts manual for replacement safety shield part numbers.
LUBRICATION
Check to be sure that all gear cases and oil bath enclosures contain oil, and that bearings and joints have been greased. (See maintenance section)
PTO DRIVELINE SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT
FOR MODEL 5144
The driveline connecting the two 2:1 gearboxes has a shearbolt protection device to protect the machine in an overload situation. If the driveline spins freely, the shear bolt has broken and needs to be replaced. Replace the broken shear bolt with a new 1/4” x 2” grade 5 bolt. Always replace the shear bolt with the same size and grade as the original for proper operation.
FOR MODELS 5173, 5185 AND 51100
The final driveline before the planetary gearbox has a torque disconnect device to protect the machine in an overload situation. The torque disconnect type of driveline protection is an automatic, no maintenance form of protection when compared to shear bolt or friction type clutches. It uses pawls spring loaded into a ratchet to transmit torque.
When the torque overcomes the spring force the pawls pull away from the rachet preventing driveline damage. To reset, simply throttle the truck down and the pawls will reengage. If an obstruction must be removed to get it to reengage, always shut the truck off and remove the key from the truck’s ignition before removing the obstruc- tion.
NOTE: Torque the lock bolt of the truck driveline to 75ft. lbs. (17mm 6pt socket suggested).
