Your Cereal Mixer Bucket is not to be used for any other purpose than for which it is
intended –Primarily that is the collection, mixing and discharge of Cereal type feed
and feed including minerals, nuts, and molasses.
For 2020 models, a larger diameter, substantially constructed discharge chutes allows
user to mix a percentage* of dry, PC maize, straw or grass silage to their cereals.
*Percentage is variable and limited to the properties for each feed. Factors include moisture content and
product quality. Main feed percentage is required to be cereal, concentrate and nut type feed.

4
Damage as a result of use for other any other purpose will not be covered under
warranty.
The specifications, descriptions and illustrations in this manual are accurate at the time
of publication but may be subject to change.
SPOUT FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that the spout is fitted to the bucket discharge side prior to operation. Haulage
requirements can dictate if this has to be removed for transit.
1. Push spout shaft fully in to nylon bush located on end of auger shaft at discharge
end.
2. Spout will turn freely on shaft to enable alignment of yellow markers.
3. Locate fixing bolts (M10 x 30mm cup head square) x 6 into flange, and ensure
flange edges are flush and level and tighten bolts using washers (on nylock side
only) and nylock nuts. Ensure these are tight.

5

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Take extra care when attaching the Cereal Mixer Bucket to the forklift/loader to
ensure that it is attached correctly via the bracketing and hydraulic fittings. (See
page 7 Connection to the forklift/loader).
Ensure that the forklift/loader and its hydraulic system is in full working order.
Never allow any person to stand between the forklift/loader and the Cereal Mixer
bucket during connection or at any time.
Ensure that the brackets are connected fully before operation.
Take into account the protrusions of the Cereal Mixer Bucket from the forklift
carriage when manoeuvring around and take particular care when approaching
junctions and negotiating corners.
The driving characteristics of the forklift/loader are influenced and altered by the
attachment of mounted machines and it is important to ensure adequate steering
and braking ability as required.
Never allow any person to ride on or in the bucket at any time. Do not allow
bystanders near the bucket during operation. Keep clear of the mixing shaft during
use.
Never perform any adjustments to the bucket whilst mounted, unless the
forklift/loader is stopped, turned off and the bucket is resting on the ground where
possible.
Ensure that the forklift/loader cannot roll away by use of a park brake or wheel
chocks.
Never allow any person to stand or work beneath a suspended load.
Keep hands and fingers clear of the discharge end and spout during use for risk of
serious injury.

BOLT-ON BRACKETING TO SUIT YOUR FORKLIFT/LOADER
Your Cereal Mixer Bucket will be delivered already fitted with the correct bolt-on, width
adjustable bracketing or 3-point linkage attachments, hydraulic fittings and hydraulic
hose to fit your forklift/loader.
If for any reason the fittings are lost or damaged they must be replaced with the
following specification of fitting;
QUICK-HITCH brackets or LOADER BRACKETS and brackets to fit 3-point linkage, require
the following ‘U’ Bolt fittings;
8 X M16 X 120mm square Bolts
16 X M16 Nylock nuts/washers
For your own safety and the safety of others, always use the correct fittings to attach
bolt-on bracketing to the rear of the unit. Always place the unit on the ground and turn
off the forklift/loader before attempting any changes.
CREATING OFFSET (Before connection to forklift/loader)
The bracketing on your mixer bucket may require off-setting prior to use to enable you
to discharge outside the loader wheels. Please follow the procedure below;
1. Take note of the dimension between the brackets for re-positioning correctly.
2. Slacken all 16 Nylock nuts and reposition the bracket by sliding it across the steel
frame to the create the required offset (It is important to maintain the correct
spacing between the brackets and that on tightening up the bolts make sure
that the brackets remain square to the bracket mounting frame and are at the
correct centres).
3. RE-TIGHTEN THE M16 NYLOCK NUTS. EACH TIME THE BRACKETS HAVE BEEN
REPOSITIONED ONCE, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE NYLOCK NUTS WITH
NEW ONES. ALWAYS ENSURE THEY ARE ALL THOROUGHLY TIGHTENED.
CONNECTION TO FORKLIFT/LOADER
Stand the Cereal Mixer Bucket in an area free from obstruction to allow you to drive the
forklift/loader towards the bracketing.
For Quick Hitch bracketing, connect as you would with any other attachment and the
type of bracketing fitted to the rear of the bucket. Locate any locking pins securely.
Attach the hydraulic hoses, pipes and fittings to your tractor/forklift/loader while it is
turned off. The hoses should be marked FEED and RETURN.
FEED is to drive the auger forwards to discharge.
RETURN will reverse the auger.

OPERATION & MIXING PROCESS
Once the Cereal Mixer Bucket is attached to the forklift/loader correctly you can begin
operation. The following step by step procedure will take you through the basic
operation of the machine; DO NOT OVERFILL the bucket to allow for the mixing process
to take place efficiently. We recommend no more than 2/3rds full.
1. Drive in towards the feed and shovel into heap to fill bucket with feed. Or fill via
separate forklift and bucket. Do not force the bucket into the feed, if necessary it
is advisable to take a bit at a time to prevent damage to the mixing shaft.
2. Crowd bucket back so that the feed is held in the bucket and drive to desired
mixing location and begin mixing process;
REMOVE THE PIN, OPEN & PIN BACK THE SHUT OFF FLAP ON THE SPOUT TO ENABLE
DISCHARGE.
3. Start the flow of hydraulic oil to the motor by operating the lever inside the forklift
cab. Run the mixer bucket in REVERSE to mix until you are happy with the result.
It is possible to tip the bucket forwards/backwards during mixing slightly, to assist
if required. Do not shake the bucket.
4. Re-position the forklift/loader so that on discharge, the product will fall where
required. As standard the mixer bucket will discharge to the left (from the
driver’s seat of your forklift/loader). Start the flow of oil to run the auger forwards
to discharge, using the controls in the forklift/loader cab. You may need to drive
the forklift/loader forwards slowly, at the same time, if you are filling feed troughs.
5. If you decide not to empty the whole bucket fully, stop the flow of hydraulic oil
and the auger will stop, enabling you to move to another location.
6. Repeat the process.
IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE REMOVE PIN ON SPOUT FLAP BEFORE DISCHARGING FROM THE
BUCKET AS THIS MAY CAUSE BLOCKAGE AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE
AUGER/SPOUT.
The auger speed is pre-set before delivery and you do not need to worry about
“feathering” the controls as the bucket will operate at a steady speed without jarring.
Increase speed of mixing by increasing the revolutions of the loader’s engine.
When finished discharging, it is a good idea to reverse the auger slightly to keep feed
contained before moving to another location.

9
CROSS LINE RELIEF VALVE
Cross line relief valves are fitted to the top of each hydraulic motor on your bucket as
additional protection for the motor against damage.
TO SET THE CROSS LINE RELIEF VALVE
The Valve is pre-set to 180 bar prior to delivery in the event that you do not make any
adjustments yourself to give your motor protection against major blockages.
We recommend that you re-set the valve in accordance to your own requirements and
feed type as follows;
Before beginning, HALF fill your bucket with clean feed. That means NO stones or
foreign bodies at all while setting up.
The adjustments are made via an Allen (Hex Key) socket that is easily visible on the
valve. (Not the one underneath).
Follow the steps below to set the sensitivity of your cross line relief valve; this can be set
as keen as you like.
1. Start your loader and begin discharging the half bucket of feed.
2. Turn the Allen Key adjuster (whilst the bucket is mixing) anti clockwise until the
auger stops.
3. Proceed to turn the adjuster clockwise again until the auger re-starts and you are
happy with the flow. This is setting the sensitivity of the valve.
4. Depending how sensitive this is set will depend if the valve allows small stones/
obstructions through or stops the flow of oil with any small/minor obstruction.
5. Re-adjust as required if you find it is too sensitive. It may be that the valve also
requires adjustment for different types of feed.
If you require any assistance with setting up the cross line relief valve, please do not
hesitate to telephone and we will be pleased to assist you.
This valve is fitted for the protection of your hydraulic motor and associated
components. Damages and failure as a result of not setting the Cross Line Relief Valve
are your own responsibility.

SAFETY FIRST
•DO NOT ALLOW ANY ONE, INCLUDING YOURSELF TO LEAN INTO THE BUCKET
WHILST IT IS OPERATING.
•DO NOT “POKE” THE MIX WITH ANYTHING DURING OPERATION.
•DO NOT REMOVE ANY GUARDS WHILST THE MACHINE IS IN USE.
•DO NOT LEAVE THE BUCKET UNATTENDED AT ANY TIME WHILST IN USE.
WEEKLY MAINTANANCE TASKS
1. Check all bolts for tightness, including those on the gearbox mountings, brackets
and mixing paddles. Tighten as necessary.
2. The non-drive end of the auger is fitted with a nylon bush which does not require
greasing, but it would prolong its lifespan if given a squirt of freeing oil like WD40 or
similar each week. Check the auger discharge end for wear. You are looking for
play on the shaft in both the horizontal/vertical axis. There should be minimum
movement. The nylon bush (part no. AW_76_NYB) may be wearing if you notice more
movement. If this is the case, it is time to replace the nylon bush. Fitting instructions
will be provided. This is a wearing part. Please refer to page 14.
3. Check all hydraulic hoses/fittings for wear and damage and replace any
hoses/fittings that appear to be damaged.
4. Remove guarding and check oil levels in both gearboxes (visible through the
viewing glass) do not allow to run low. See note below regarding oil changes.
5. Keep all mechanical components free from dirt.
SAFETY DURING MAINTENANCE
PLEASE ENSURE THE FORKLIFT/ LOADER IS SWITCHED OFF TO PREVENT THE HYDRAULICS
OPERATING PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
CHANGING GEAR BOX OIL
The manufacturer of the gear box recommends when using the gearbox for the first
time you should replace the oil after 50hrs of use. The capacity of the gear box is 1.7L
and uses GL580W=90L Oil. After first replacement of oil replace gearbox oil every 500
hours.
