SAFETY PRECAUTIONS and SAFETY DECALS in SAFETY section of this manual before operating this mixer GENERAL The Reel Auggie and Commercial Reel Mixer were 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 Kuhn Knight Inc The Reel Auggie and Commercial Reel mixer s mixing performance can vary greatly according to the differences in materials loading sequence mixing speed and unloading methods The following guidelines should be understood before operating the Mixer The Hay Maxx System is designed to start processing hay before it enters the mixing chamber This is an efficient way to add long stem hay to the ration The hay pan holds the hay in position while the auger begins to process the hay with the aid of hard edge knives and shear angles The hay pan backstop aggressive auger knives and shear angles work in combination to tear hay apart faster for more even mixing When you see this Hay Maxx System logo esa madres fl there are special and specific Hay Maxx System operation instructions The Roughage Maxx System is designed to complete hay processing once it reaches the mixer s lower auger When you see this Roughage Maxx System logo ROUSE there are specific and special Roughage Maxx System operating instructions S
