5000TROPR 005893 R022504 MIXER OPERATION

Always refer to Operating Safety Precautions and Safety Decal sections of this manual before operating this mixer.

OPTIONS available as original equipment or field installation:

POWER CHUTES -

This can be an auger or chain and slat chute that is used to deliver feed to an area higher than the door height. One valve controls the door (up and down), and the other valve controls the chute functions, lowering chute and powering the chute. When the flow is reversed, the chute raises and a check valve prevents the chute from turning backwards.

Note: Always start the power chute before opening the door to prevent overloading the chute.

ELECTRONIC SCALES HEADS -

Knight manufacturing offers a range of scale heads with the most popular features to display accurate ration weight while loading.

Refer to the scale manufactures operator manual for operation and maintenance.

ELECTRIC SELECTOR VALVE -

Plugs directly into existing hydraulic ports and creates two switchable circuits. A flip of the electric remote and the operator can select either set of hoses. Once activated, the operator uses the existing hydraulic lever to control remote functions.

MANUAL SELECTOR VALVE - (single hydraulics)

One set of ports controls both the door and the chute functions. After lowering the chute, shift the diverter valve from the neutral position as desired to open or close the door, then engage the chute for unloading.

WHEELS AND TIRES -

Factory supplied wheel and tire options are sized to support the gross weight of the loaded mixer and the weight of a 30 pound per cubic foot ration.

SAFETY CHAIN -

This chain is designed to retain the connection between towing and towed machines in the event of separation of the primary attaching system and is recommended whenever the unit will be transported on the highway.

EXTRA KNIVES -

Extra short and long knives are available for certain models. See Mixer Operation section for more information.

SIDE EXTENSIONS -

8” Side Extensions are available to minimize spillage of light materials during processing and mixing. The purpose of the side extension option is to help contain long stem material while processing, with the convenience of loading from either side.
