INSTALLATION TIPS
1. Be sure there is adequate clearance around the mixer for maintenance, repair and loading the mixer.
2. If the electronic weighing system is used, be sure that the weigh bars are kept clean and dry. Also be sure
items such as loading conveyors are not attached to or leaning on the mixer. Refer to scale manual for more
specific information.
3. Mixer should be mounted on a structure of adequate strength to support a fully loaded mixer. Machine must be
level and stable at the desired height. Weigh bar mounts should be fastened to this structure.
4. Manual door opener for the 3115 & 3120 can be mounted at either the front or the rear of the mixer. The
following instructions will help to modify the door opener for operation from the opposite end:
A. Remove latch and mounting bolt and install to opposite end of mixer in corresponding hole.
B. Remove door wheel assembly.
C. With door in fully closed position, cut door wheel shaft to proper length, drill mount hole, slide
into position and replace bolt.
5. The 3125, 3130, 3136, 3142, 3150, 3160 and 3170 manual door opener is in a fixed position on the drive end of
the mixer.
6. An optional remote electric door actuator is also available for the 3115 and 3120 models. An electric/hydraulic
power pack is available for the 3125 through 3170 models. The power pack is standard on the 3195.
NOTE: When wiring the electric/hydraulic power pack, make sure to wire it to a switched source and ensure it
only runs when the door is activated.
Electric Motor Recommendations
Following is a listing of suggested motor and frame sizes. Ratings are based on “normal dairy feed rations”. Con-
tact the factory if intending to mix heavier loads such as feedmill use, heavy/sticky beef rations or industrial use. A
smaller motor may be adequate for easy-mixing materials and a larger motor may be required for difficult
materials. Wiring and overload protection should be sized according to the motor size installed. The motor mount
will fit the recommended motor size. Other motor sizes may require additional holes to be drilled in the mount or a
different mount assembly. Dual motor mount, frame and shield are standard on 3125, 3130, 3136 & 3142 models.
All models are designed to be used with a motor operating at 1725-1750 RPM.

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.
