OPERATION
GENERAL
The Reel Auggie 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 dairy feed ration or have other applications, please consult Kuhn Knight Inc.
The Reel Auggie’s mixing performance can vary according to the differences in materials, loading
sequence and unloading methods. Some general guidelines should be understood before operating the
Reel Auggie.
When you see this Hay Maxx logo that means there are special and specific Hay
Maxx operation instructions.
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, with
backstop, aggressive auger knives, and shear angles, work in combination to tear hay apart faster for
more even mixing.
SAFETY
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, the following precautions
should always be followed:
DANGER: NEVER HAND FEED MATERIALS into mixer while it is running, always stop mixer and lock
out power before hand loading materials. Rotating reel and augers inside mixer may not be visible from
the loading point, and may cut or grab hands, clothing, or material being loaded, causing severe injury.
DANGER: NEVER PUT ARMS OR FEET INSIDE unit, or climb on or in the mixer while it is
running. Never allow anyone to position themselves over or near the top of the mixer while it
is running. Rotating reel and augers can grab clothing or create pinch points which can cause severe
injury or death to the operator or bystanders. Always stop mixer and lock out power so that the mixer
cannot be accidentally turned on while inspecting, servicing, repairing, or cleaning mixer.
DANGER: NEVER ATTEMPT TO RELEASE JAMMED MATERIALS OR CLEAN MATERIALS from
any area of the mixer or discharge chute without stopping mixer and locking out the power
first. Moving parts can be hidden by materials, and stopped parts can start unexpectedly, causing
severe injury. Always stop mixer and lock out power before attempting to remove jammed material or
clean. Be aware that the spring-loaded reel arms can spring back unexpectedly, causing injury.
DANGER: DO NOT ALLOW OPERATION of this unit by inexperienced and unqualified people.
Keep all unqualified people away from mixer during operation. Operators of this unit must be alert and
use good judgement at all times.
MIXING TIME
The Reel Auggie can mix an average load in 3 to 4 minutes. Because of this short mixing time, there is
normally no reason to run the mixer during loading except to level the materials or to break up hay.
WITH HAY MAXX OPTION: If the hay goes through too fast, you may want to put more material
in the mixer before loading the hay or adjust the position of the Hay Maxx to allow more process-
ing (see mixer operation, Hay Maxx adjustments).
MIXER OPERATION
Always refer to Operating Safety Precautions and Safety Decal sections of this manual before operating
this mixer.
