• Test run the mixer.
• Make sure mixer is empty, then start the mixer.
• Run for at least five minutes at rated PTO RPM.
• Raise and lower the door and operate the chute/slide tray several times.
• Disengage the mixer and turn off the tractor engine and remove driveline.
• Check the mixer drive components to be sure they are not abnormally hot.
If any of these items are not running as indicated, immediately repair or contact your service
representative.
•
•
•
•
•
MIXER RUN-IN
To adjust the height of the power chute, change the length of the link chains on the sides of the chute. For best
performance, the unloading height should be set at the lowest height possible. The discharge tip-off on the power
chute should be adjusted for correct magnet and discharge angle. Remove or loosen the upper bolts, pivot the
tip off to the desired angles and reinstall or retighten all bolts.
•
POWER CHUTE ADJUSTMENT (OPTIONAL)
To avoid personal injury: The hopper floor may be slippery and the auger can spin unexpectedly when stepped
on. Use caution when stepping or standing inside the unit, place a protective cover over the auger knives
when work inside the box is required.
MIXER OPERATION
Always refer to Equipment Safety Guidelines & Before Operation sections of this manual before operating this mixer.
The Turbo-Max Mixer was designed for blending dairy and beef rations. Most commonly used ingredients, including
limited amounts of dry stem hay, can be mixed quickly and uniformly in this mixer. If you have questions regarding
your feed ration or have other applications, please contact Sioux Automation Center, Inc.
The Turbo-Max Mixer mixing performance can vary greatly according to the differences in materials, loading se-
quence, mixing speed, and unloading methods.
•
•
GENERAL
When the mixer is in operation it has many moving parts which could cause severe injury or death to persons
coming in contact with these parts. To help avoid serious accidents, please read and understand this manual.
•
SAFETY

Page 11
Do not load hay without other dry commodities in the mixer first to act as a carrier or “lubricant”.
Do not overload hay content, Sioux Automation Center Inc. recommends up to 15%-20% of hay by weight
in the load. Exceeding this percentage can decrease mixing performance or could potentially damage mixer and
cause premature wear on driveline components.
•
•
LIMITATIONS
Do not use tough hay (20%-60% moisture) Always used cured, dry hay. Wet hay, foreign objects or overload-
ing may cause binding and damage to the mixer.
Keep in mind the overall size of the mixer to allow clearance through doorways.
•
•
WARNINGS
The mixer can mix an average load in 3 to 5 minutes. Due to this short mixing time, there is normally no reason
to run the mixer during loading except to level the materials or to breakup hay.
•
MIXING TIME
When deciding when and how fast to operate the mixer, factors such as ingredients being used, the thorough-
ness of the mix, and the time available to mix must be considered. Normal mixing speed is 3/4 to full PTO
speed.
Do not exceed rated PTO speed. When the mixer is operated faster than rated PTO speed the strain on the drive
train and mixer is greatly increased.
•
•
MIXING SPEED
• The following feed materials require some preparation or processing to be mixed in the Maxi-Mixer.
• ALL LONG AND UNCURED GRASSES
• ROUND BALES, LARGE SQUARE BALES
• SMALL SQUARE BALES
MATERIALS REQUIRING PREPERATION
Always use cured dry hay. Tough hay can cause wrapping, binding and damage to mixer and can adversely
effect the mixing performance. The following are some examples that contribute to tough hay conditions: High
moisture content, High grass content, High density bales, Outdoor storage, Use of hay preservatives, and Ex-

HAY QUALITY
Many different kinds of materials can be mixed with the Turbo-Max Mixer, but each type has its own unique char-
acteristics.
Do not exceed rated PTO speed. When the mixer is operated faster than rated PTO speed the strain on the drive
train and mixer is greatly increased.
FORAGES- Chopped hay, corn silage, and finely chopped crop residue can be mixed in the mixer. Wet and
heavy forages added in large volumes may require more power to mix.
GRAINS- Ground, rolled, flaked, and whole cereal grains, minerals, and concentrates, are all very easily mixed,
and can improve the mixing performance of the other materials.
LIQUIDS- Supplements and liquid fat can be blended in the mixer. Some operators prefer adding liquids into
the empty mixer, and others add liquids on top of grains or roughage. Sticky liquids such as molasses tend to
increase the power requirements.

MATERIAL THAT CAN BE LOADED DIRECTLY INTO THE MIXER
MIXER OPERATION

Page 12
• Prior to loading, check mixer for foreign objects and be sure door is fully closed.
1. Load Commodities
Adding ingredients like corn, soybean meal, cottonseed, etc. will act as a carrier or “lubricant” if hay is
included in the ration.
If there are few commodities in the ration, substituting corn silage or haylage is preferred.
Fill mixer between 1/3-1/2 full by volume in commodities and forage before adding the hay to the ration.
This will allow enough room for the hay to expand and bring feed level up so the top auger can assist in
processing.
2. Load Hay
Load processed hay. With the mixer running at 3/4 to full PTO speed, proceed loading the small square
bale pieces or tub ground hay into the mixer. Do not exceed 15%-20% of hay by weight.
3. Finish Loading Commodities
Finish loading any other ingredients to complete the ration in order of least binding ingredient to most
binding. Example: dry commodities first, corn silage second, haylage last.
4. Finish Loading Wet Commodities
Any other wet feeds may be added at this time.
5. Add Liquid Ingredients
•If ration includes water, add it last. Adding water at the beginning will cause the hay to bind.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERLOAD MIXER! Overloading causes excessive horsepower requirements, increased strain
on driveline and poor mixer performance.

LOADING AND MIXING
MIXER OPERATION
Do not overload mixer! Overloading causes excessive horsepower requirements, increased strain on mixer drive-
line and poor mixer performance.
The design of the Turbo-Max Mixer requires that there be adequate space to allow the feed to move in and around
the reel chamber. If the reel is completely covered, it cannot efficiently mix the materials. The reel cross tubes
should always be visible at the top of their rotation to allow this mixing space.
•
•
FILL LEVEL
After the ration has been thoroughly mixed, open the mixer door to begin unloading. If the mixer is equipped
with a power chute, the chute must be running before the mixer door can be opened. The combination of the
discharge door opening and the mixer speed determines the flow of feed from the mixer. The door must be
opened far enough to prevent separation of materials, optional door flow control plates are available to help pre-
vent separation. To stop the flow of feed, close the door, (turn off the power chute) then shut off the mixer.
The Turbo-Max Mixer can be equipped with either a power chute, or a slide tray to assist in the delivery of
feed. The chute and tray heights are adjusted with hydraulic cylinders, but the chain stops provided on power
chutes should be adjusted so that the chute clears all bunks, obstacles, etc.

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS
IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE OPERATING MIXER. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
OWNER TO MARE SURE THE MIXER IS SET UP PROPERLY. THE FOLLOWING RECOM-
MENDATIONS SHOULD BE HELPFUL
Roller Chain Tighteners so they apply sufficient spring tension to keep roller chains running smoothly (As
a general rule the thickness of a nickel should fit between the spring coils). The chain will form grooves in the
tightener blocks. These grooves help to keep the chains in proper alignment, and the blocks need not be turned
unless the roller portion of the chain has worn into the block.
Roller Chains for wear, proper alignment and tension. Adjust or replace if necessary. Roller chain connector
links which pass over polyethylene tightener blocks must have the legs of the cotter pins trailing to the direction
of rotation.
Safety Decals for readability. If any safety decals are removed, obstructed, or otherwise not understandable,
they should be replaced immediately. Keep all decals clean and visible.
Safety Shielding to be sure all shielding is in place and functions properly. Replace all damaged or missing
shielding immediately - see parts pages for more information.
Bolts and Set Screws after a few hours of use and each month thereafter. Tighten if necessary.
Reel Wipers plastic strips which help material clean out of the reel hopper. If the strips become bent back, they
can be unbolted and turned around or replaced to improve clean out.
Upper Auger Knives can be turned over for use on a new cutting edge and should be periodically sharpened,
or replaced if they are no longer sufficiently breaking up material.
Lower Auger Round Knives can be rotated several times before sharpening or replacement is required.
Rain can accumulate in mixer if stored outside, always remove drain plugs on hopper ends to allow unit to
drain completely and replace drain plugs before next use.
Freezing Weather the PTO shield requires extra grease to prevent freezing. Snow can accumulate in mixer
if stored outside, always remove drain plugs on hopper ends to allow unit to drain completely and check hopper
for snow or ice buildup before operating unit. Thaw and remove any obstruction and replace drain plugs before
next use.
IMPORTANT: WHEN WELDING ON THIS UNIT: Do NOT allow the current to flow through the bearings,
roller chains, or scale weigh bars. Ground directly to the item being welded. ALWAYS disconnect weigh bar cords
from scale indicator before welding.

INSPECT AND ADJUST
Scale Indicator: Refer to the electronic scale operators manual for adjustment information. The operator’s
manual for the Electroic Scales should be kept with this manual. Additional scale manuals may be obtained
through Sioux Automation Center, Inc.
Load Cells: Should be kept clean, dry and lubricated to insure dependabiltiy.
Normal Scale Activity: Some warm up scale “drift” may occur after the scale is turned on but should zero
balance within 10-15 minutes. Scale may zero shift over night due to temperature changes.

It is extremely important that the following lubrication schedule be followed: Bearings: use a good
quality multipurpose grease. Replace all damaged or missing grease zerks immediately. Always clean zerks
before using grease gun. Pump the grease in slowly until a slight bead forms around the bearing seals. Once
a month check lines and connections on grease banks for leaks.
Oilbath Oil: Use a good high quality universal oil. Use an oil that meets or exceeds hydraulic oil grade. Fill
to the top lower oilbath roller chains. Change yearly or whenever contaminated.
Before operating a new mixer, the roller chains should be liberally lubricated and then the unit operated un-
der a no-load condition. This break-in period will allow the roller chains to be thoroughly lubricated and thus
minimize heat-up during operation.
