6. Proper loading procedure involves loading smaller quantity ingredients in the center of the
mixer first, to cover up the mixing paddles. This will prevent the aggressive paddles from
grabbing too much hay before it can be first adequately processed by the knives on the auger
flighting. Loading long stem hay in the center of the mixer increases the chances of shearing
pins. If not happy with the resulting ration, some sequencing changes may need to be made. If
sequencing changes do not fix your ration problems, see the factory for further assistance. Do
not be concerned about the appearance of the ration in the mixer; the appearance and evenness
of the ration is determined only in the bunk.
7. To discharge feed from the
MaxiMixer it is necessary to first start the conveyor (either self
contained hydraulics, or tractor supplied) and then open the discharge door. The conveyor and
the door operate on two different hydraulic circuits and can be operated independently. The rate
of ration flowing from the
MaxiMixer can be controlled by the door position. The higher the
door is raised, the more feed it will allow out, and vice versa.
IMPORTANT! ALWAYS START THE DISCHARGE BEFORE OPENING THE
DOOR TO PREVENT JAMMING FEED AGAINST THE CONVEYOR!
