It is the Owner/Operator’s responsibility to operate, lubricate, maintain, and store the machine in accordance with all instruc-
tions and safety procedures. While machine operating conditions will vary, an eective maintenance schedule can be followed
when considering the following points.
Remember, the guidelines established in this manual are general. All maintenance and service work is not limited to these
guidelines. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Sioux Automation Dealer or Distributor. Points to
Consider in Developing an Eective Maintenance Schedule:
• Will the machine be operating at full capacity (i.e. mixing chamber full, high-density ration)? For example, a heavy
load would yield a ration density equal to or greater than 30 lbs/ft3.
• How long will the machine be operated each day? Depending on the operation, some customers require as little as
2 hours a day, while others require in excess of 16 hours a day.
• Will the machine be transported long distances? If the answer is yes, this would require more attention to components
such as wheels and hubs.
• Will the machine be transported over rough terrain? Will the same terrain have conditions such as mud, sand, water, etc.?
• Will the machine be exposed to extreme temperatures (ambient air temperature)? This can be interpreted as hot or
cold, or sudden changes from hot to cold or vice versa. This may aect components such as the machine lubricants,
among others.
• Will there be dirty and dusty conditions present? While the machine is designed for these parameters, special attention
to items such as breathers is required.
• Will there be any foreign matter entering the mixing chamber? Depending on the operation, it may be dicult to
eliminate foreign matter such as rocks, stones, steel, wood, etc. However, these items can place added wear on com-
ponents such as the mixing chamber walls, auger assembly, and auger knives.
FOLLOWING AN EFFECTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE
• Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate engine in a closed building. Exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.
• Before working on this machine, stop the vehicle, set brakes, shut o engine and remove ignition key.
• Always use safety support and block wheels. Never use a jack to support machine.
• Always use proper tools or equipment for job at hand.
• Use extreme caution when making adjustments.
• Never use your hands to locate a hydraulic leak on attachments. Use a small piece of cardboard or wood. Hydraulic uid
escaping under pressure can penetrate skin.
• Openings in skin and minor cuts are susceptible to infection from hydraulic uid. Without immediate medical treatment,
serious infection and reactions can occur.
• When disconnecting hydraulic lines, shut o hydraulic supply and relieve all hydraulic pressure.
• Replace all shields and guards after servicing and before moving.
• After servicing, be sure all tools, parts and service equipment are removed.
• Do not allow grease or oil to build up on any steps or platform.
• When replacing bolts, refer to owners manual.
• Refer to bolt torque chart for head identication marking.
• Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine factory replacement parts must
be used to restore your equipment to original specications. Manufacturer will not claim responsibility for use of unap-
proved parts or accessories and other damages as a result of their use.
• If equipment has been altered in any way from original design, manufacturer does not accept any liability for injury or
warranty.
• A re extinguisher and rst aid kit should be kept readily accessible while performing maintenance on this equipment.

PREOPERATION CHECKLIST
Ecient and safe operation of your Sioux Automation 3600 series mixer requires that each operator reads and understands
all the operating procedures and all related safety precautions outlined in this section. A pre-operation checklist is provided
for the operator. It is important for both the personal safety and maintaining the good mechanical condition of the machine
that this checklist is followed.
Before operating the machine the following areas should be checked o:
1. Lubricate the machine as needed.
2. Use only a truck of adequate power and capacity to operate the machine.
3. Check the hydraulic system. Be sure that the hydraulic reservoir in the truck is lled to the required specications.
4. Be sure there are no leaks on the planetary gearboxes. Stop leaks before continuing.
5. Inspect all hydraulic lines, hoses, ttings, and couplers for tightness.
6. Check the tires to be sure that they are inated to the specied pressure.
7. Check that the auger rotates freely. Remove all string, twine, or other entangled material.
8. Check that the PTO driveline is locked to the truck’s crank shaft for front mounted pumps.
9. Close and secure all guards and safety devices.
HYDRAULIC PUMP SYSTEM
Each auger is powered by a hydrostatic pump which is attached to a pump drive and powered by a single driveshaft from the
engine. The pumps can be set up for either CCW (counter clockwise) or CW (clockwise) rotation. Typically, if the pumps are
mounted in front of the engine, CW pumps are installed and CCW pumps are used if the pumps are installed behind the engine.
Each hydrostatic pump is actuated by an electronic valve which is operated from controls in the cab. Each hydro can be con-
trolled independently.
Located on the end of each of the hydrostatic pumps is a single auxiliary hydraulic gear pump. The pumps are powered by
the main driveline for the machine which ensures hydraulic power is available at all times provided that the truck engine is
running. The auxiliary pumps provide hydraulic uid power to components such as the unloading door(s) and the dis-
charge conveyor. The auxiliary pumps are designed for minimal maintenance and service.

3600 Series Truck
Electronic Control Unit Operators Manual
This Operator’s Manual is a supplement to the main 3600 Series Truck Operators Manual. This operator’s manual
will provide information on the operation of the electronic control system of the truck, troubleshooting points,
specific operator settings, and operation of the system in a feeding environment.
Before attempting to operate the system, this supplementary manual should be read and completely understood
for safe, efficient, and trouble free operation of the mixer. The electronic control of the 3600 Series Truck is a
sophisticated system which allows the operator to change initial settings and also provides safeguards in the event
of mechanical or hydraulic failure. The following pages will step through the operation of the system and
troubleshooting points.
The control system is powered when the truck key is in the ON or ACC position. User settings can be changed
without the truck running, and any settings will be saved in the system when the truck key is in the OFF position or
when the truck batteries are disconnected.
*NOTE: IN THE EVENT THAT WELDING ON THE MIXER OR TRUCK CHASSIS NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED,
THE TRUCK BATTERIES, ALL AUXILIARY POWER SOURCES, AND THE SCALE POWER MUST BE
DISCONNECTED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS. IF NOT, SERIOUS EQUIPMENT
MALFUNCTIONS COULD OCCUR.
DISPLAY SCREEN FUNCTIONS
When the truck is powered up and running, the display will default to the Operation screen (Figure 1) which shows
critical system information at a quick glance. Navigation through the display is done using the touch screen or the
soft touch keys on the outer edges of the display that corresponds to the icons next to them.
