1. MIXER DESCRIPTION
1.1.
INTRODUCTION
TATOMA designs its mixers thinking of how to facilitate your daily work,
save you time and, accordingly, improve performance and the benefits of
use.
Carrying out operations different from those specified will
result in the immediate loss of the warranty.
With our mixers, you can ration the way you feed your herd improving
the efficiency of your work.
The breadth of our range of products allows us to solve any query.
The previous operations should be carried out by one single
person. When other machines are used with the mixer (loading
the mixer), the operation of these shall be coordinated by one
single person.
To assure that the mixer is operated correctly, it is recommended to
designate a person in charge, who has previous experience driving tractors
or other farm machinery. This will also facilitate the instruction period.
While performing the previous operations, the presence of
unauthorised persons in the mixer working area shall be
avoided at all times.
Attention! Technical data and characteristics of the trademark or model, of
the different marketing materials or other components of the mixers cited in
this manual are indicative. TATOMA reserves the right to modify the design
or specifications without prior notice.
1.3.
1.2.
USING THE MIXER
The towed mixer has been designed specifically to perform the following
operations only:
-
Chop silage (depending on the model)
-
Load loose silage:
ƒ By hand (depending on the model)
MAIN PARTS OF THE MIXER
The mixer system, incorporated in the machinery described in this
manual, is a vertical type, with one or two conical augers incorporated in the
inside of the cone shaped tub, with an open ended opening at the top.
The tub has several circular metal sections (operated manually or
hydraulically, hydraulic shredder option), which allow the degree of
shredding of the products that form the mix to be controlled.
ƒ Using the appropriate machine
ƒ From an automatic silo
-
Mix silage with other feeds or compliments
-
Dose the mix previously cited
Page 12
The mixing principle is based on the movement of the product by the
auger, which turns and lifts the components of the mix upward. Then, these
fall by gravity around the edges of the tub and down to the bottom of the
auger. Accordingly, the components and the mix are in continual motion.
TOWED VERTICAL MIXER
Using this system a homogeneous mix is obtained in minutes.
general, these elements have been designed such that parts, which
are prone to wear, are easy to repair and replace. It is made up of the
following components:
Two towed vertical mixer models are available:
•
The simple vertical auger mixer, which has one auger in the
centre of the tub.
•
The dual vertical auger mixer, which is equipped with two augers
in the inside of the tub. This mixer model is called the DUPLO,
and from this point forward, it will be referred to by its name.
The towed vertical mixers do not have a loading system. Thus,
appropriate auxiliary equipment must be used when loading or the mixers
can be loaded from automatic silos.
In general, using the mixer permits the silage to be conserved
maintaining all of its energetic properties without any deterioration at all until
the moment of distribution.
Furthermore, both types of mixers are equipped with an electronic scale,
which allows the quantity of products that are mixed into the ration,
determined by a nutritionist or veterinarian, to be controlled at all times.
Tub (11/30): The products comprising the mix are held inside the
tub. Tub capacity depends on the model.
Auger (12/32): Consists of a vertical conical auger positioned in
the centre of the tub. The auger is controlled by a hydraulic motor
and a planetary gear reducer providing the efficiency needed to
perform its job.
The auger is equipped with treated and tempered blades for
shredding the product. Because they are submitted to wear, the
blades are interchangeable.
Circular Metal Sections (10/29): The purpose of these sections is
to retain the product close to the outer edge of the tub, so the
blades come in direct contact with it, increasing the degree of
shredding the components. They are manually operated, or the
sections can be operated by hydraulic cylinders (hydraulic
shredder option), in which case they are covered with a
detachable protective plate.
TATOMA designed mixers are built simple and made with highly resistant
steels. The machine components experience minimal wear and require little
maintenance.
The figures on the following pages show the main components of the
types of towed vertical mixers described previously.
Below, descriptions of the main components on the different mixer
models are given.
Mixer System: The system is made of highly resistant materials that
are capable of operating continually and correctly for several years. In

Hydraulic System and Components: The hydraulic installation is
different from that of the tractor comprising a sprocket pump worked by
the tractor PTO through the cardan transmission and gear, this pump
aspirates the oil from a tank (7/27) situated at the front of the machine
and supplies oil to a single block distributor with cable controls or an
electrovalve block (3/19) worked by electric controls or via radio
(optional).
All the machine services can be worked by the block or the
distributor, with the unloading belt acting in conjunction with other
functions as it is has a serial connection.
The oil tank has a return filter with a rechargeable cartridge to ensure
circuit cleaning. It is also fitted with a filling cap. All the circuits available
in the mixer are independent and have been constructed using high
quality reliable components.

Gear Box
Cp
The gear box is fitted with neutral and two speeds, one slow and the other
fast. The gear change is carried out by the corresponding control (Cp) or from
the gear box using the lever (C).
The three positions of the gear box permit:
-
Slow speed: Shred the components of the mixture.
-
Fast speed: Carry out the mix and spread it out.
-
Neutral: Decouple the transmission of the auger and allow the
hydraulic pump to run on empty.
The gear box is not synchronised, and therefore to change gear, the
power take-off must be stopped and then the corresponding control must be
worked. Should it not go into gear, stop the tractor, and rotate it manually
working the corresponding control
The person carrying out this operation should keep the keys
in his possession until finishing the operation.

2.6 PARKING BRAKE
Should homologation be required for taking the vehicle on the road
(homologation kit option) the mixer signalling comprises the following
elements (See figure 2.14):
•
Front white pilot with road reflector stud.
•
Rear pilots that integrate triangular reflectant, brake, position lights,
registration plate lights and direction indicators
Two chocks are supplied with the mixer
when homologated for use on the road, on
the contrary the chocks should be ordered
as an option
The chocks are situated at the back of the
mixer (depending on the model) in a holder
anchored at the base of the tub, fitted with a
lock to stop them falling out while the
machine is running
• Set of side road reflector studs on the front and rear part of the mixer.
Figure2.15: Chocks
The chocks should always be returned to their holder after use.
The chocks are designed to be used in the case of an emergency, when the
mixer or the tractor must be stopped and parked due to a breakdown.
The mixer should be parked on flat ground, away from, ditches, furrows
slopes or banks, and it should not be in the way. Should the mixer need to
be parked on sloping ground, the chocks are placed with the flat part on the
ground with the curved part under the mixer wheels with the side depending
on the direction of the slope.
Figure 2.14: additional signalling for use on the road
All signalling devices on the mixer must be maintained clean
and in perfect working condition in order to guarantee that
the trailer can be clearly seen when driving on any type of
road and thus avoid accidents.
Page 26
A parking brake can be supplied as an option, this consists of a lever (P)
fitted with a gripper latch, that works by means of a cable(S), on the braking
mechanism (F) incorporated into the mixer axle. The working lever (P) of the
parking brake is situated on the side of mixer beneath the tub access stairs.
VERTICAL TOWED MIXER
Once work with the mixer is finalised, the mixer should then
be parked ensuring that the parking brake is correctly locked
in. In the case of stoppage, especially on slopes, the parking
brake must be used; a loaded mixer can drag the tractor with
it that is trailing it.
2.7
BATTERY
The battery is an optional element
that is installed if ordered by the
customer (Auxiliary battery options)
It can be found at the front of the
mixer (depending on the model) it is
anchored inside a box with a lid to
protect it from knocks.
To gain access to the battery use
the nuts to remove the protective lid.
The protective lid has an auxiliary
power supply situated on the left side
to connect the weigh scale in cases
where the load is carried out without
the mixer being hooked up to the
tractor.

Figure 2.17: Loading sensors
The weigh scale is connected to the
battery of the tractor that tows the mixer.
Should the mixer be fitted with a battery
(Auxiliary battery connection), the scale is
directly connected to the latter, so that it
works at all times irrespective of the state
Page 28
• Check that the battery is well
charged and its connections to the
battery are correct, the cables
should not be taut, pulled or have
any cuts or folds, which could
eventually cause them to break.
The voltage should not suffer
alterations of greater than ± 1 volt.
• Avoid hitting of spilling liquids on
the screen.
Similarly, reduce
speed when driving on roads
which are in bad condition with the
machine loaded, as the sensors
could suffer deterioration, giving
rise to defective weighing.
The scale (1) is situated on the front of
the mixer, on the right-hand side. It is
mounted on the inside of the protection
box (2) fitted with a polycarbonate front
and an articulated mechanism that allows it
to be moved to guarantee the visibility of
the display screen
The weighing system is fitted with three
loading sensors (4), situated on the tub
resting points, a connection box (5)
situated below the access ladder to the tub
and an acoustic indicator (3) situated in the
protection box of the scale, that warns of
the loading of each component of the
mixer.
.For the weighing scale to work correctly
the following recommendations should be
taken into consideration:

Fig. 2.21 Connection box
• Should the fuse need to be
replaced use one with the same
intensity and disconnect the
battery before using it.
Using
higher intensity fuses could
provoke surges in the weigh scale
circuit
with
the
consequent
possibility of a breakdown.
• Do not manipulate the sensors
under any condition; they should
only be handled by TATOMA
technical personnel.

2. Hook up the mixer to a tractor with the power needed (see section 5)
The following steps should be followed:
HANDLING THE MIXER
Before starting the mixer, the person in charge should:
ƒ
• Be suitably instructed in its use.
Check no one is between the tractor and the mixer.
When carrying out a reverse manoeuvre bring the
tractor to the mixer.
• Should be informed as to the dangers that are involved in its use and
the safety measures incorporated to avoid them.
• Should be informed of the safety measures that should be adopted for
the protection of personnel and the actions that should be carried out
when handling the machine
This machine is the result of many years of experience acquired by
TATOMA, with its strong point being the high level of efficiency when
shredding and mixing the product, in addition to minimum wear and tear
accompanied by the low maintenance cost.
The use of the mixer by personnel who have been instructed
to respect the rules and indications contained in this
instructions manual will prolong the life of the machine and
avoid the appearance of breakdowns
The following sections will make reference to the control elements,
instruments and the different elements of the mixer already described in the
section 1 and 2 of this document, and should be previously revised before
reading this section.
3.1.
ƒ
Adjust the height of the mixer hitch with the foot rest that is
fitted on the mixer
ƒ
Hook up the adequate blocking means
Handle the hooking up elements of the mixer with
working gloves.
3.
Pick up and completely fold away the foot rest to avoid contact with
obstacles when running.
4.
Stop the tractor.
5.
Connect the cardan to the PTO by means of the following steps
ƒ
Check that the mixer has been correctly hooked up
ƒ
Ensure that the tractor PTO is stopped
ƒ
Remove the cardan guard momentarily and connect the PTO,
fix in position using suitable devices
ƒ
Replace the cardan protection to its working position and
ensure that it is correctly placed.
STARTING UP
To start up the mixer the following steps should be taken:
1. Check the exterior condition of the machine and the state of the
different mechanism and protectors and guards. Then connect the
battery
Should any of the safety protectors or guards be
deteriorated or broken, they should be immediately
repaired or replaced before starting to work with the
machine.
Bring the tractor towards the mixer.
When working, the PTO or the transmission shaft
should always be protected as there is a danger of
becoming trapped
Do not use loose clothes when carrying out the
operation and always handle the Mixer PTO with
work gloves.
Page 31
TOWED VERTICAL MIXER
6. Carry out the electrical and the hydraulic connections between the
mixer and the tractor (see section number 2.9).
7. Remove the chocks and place them in their holder or, let off the
parking brake fully.
Driving with the parking brake on may produce
breakdowns and tyre blow-out on the mixer due to
overheating, which may in turn cause accidents.
Warning! If the tractor is not fitted with back view mirrors, they will need to be
installed. If the tractor has view back mirrors which do not guarantee the
correct visibility for driving and the control over the different mechanisms of
the mixer, it will be necessary to install another set of back view mirrors or
modify the existing one. TATOMA declines all liability for possible damages
caused to persons or property arising from inadequate or non existent back
view mirrors.
10. Once the previously mentioned adjustments have been carried out the
driver should carry out the following checks:
8. Remove the control levers from their holder and place them inside the
tractor cab.
9. Before starting to work with the mixer the operator should:
ƒ
Correctly adjust the position of the mixer control levers and the
driver’s seat, so that the driving position as well as the access
to the mixer controls is comfortable and not is a forced position.
ƒ
Check, while standing up, that the visibility from the inside of
the tractor to the back part of the mixer is good, especially if the
mixer is equipped with a back loading system.
ƒ
Check, while standing up, the visibility of the mixing from the
inside of the cab.
ƒ
Check, from the driver’s position through the rear view mirrors,
that visibility is good on the unloading system.
Adjust the driver’s seat to the most ergonomic
position for handling the tractor and the mixer, by
doing so possible back injury and pain can be
avoided.
For safety reasons all the aforementioned operations
should be carried out with both the tractor and the mixer
stopped.
Adjust the tractor back-view mirrors so that driving visibility as
well as direct visibility of the various mixer mechanisms mixer is
optimal.
11. Get familiar with the controls already described in Section 2 from the
driver’s seat
Correct adjustment of the back-mirrors will enable the
mixer driver to reduce the possibility of accidents.
12. The mixer operator should keep in mind at all times the following
safety recommendations:
For back mirror adjustment the help of another person is
recommended while the driver remains in the position to drive the tractor.
The mixer should be controlled by only one person, the
tractor driver, who shall coordinate the actions of other
people or machines should their intervention be necessary
ƒ
For safety reasons all the aforementioned operations
should be carried out with both the tractor and the mixer
stopped.
Page 32
The tractor driver should avoid at all times the presence of
non authorised personnel near the mixer working area.
TOWED VERTICAL MIXER
13. Start the tractor using the ignition key.
14. Move all moving parts of the mixer to check they work: door,
elevator, folding elevator (if this option is installed), loading system
and auger.
Keep the ladder steps clean and
never jump to the ground from the
steps as there is a danger of
possible slipping or a fall.
When working the hydraulic controls ensure that they are
in the latched on position to avoid overheating of the oil
that could damage the hydraulic installation.
15. Check that the moving parts of the mixer work correctly when empty,
and there are no noises that could denote a lack of grease or oil or
the incorrect tightening of tensioning rods or bolts.
Do not add any item that enables
access to the tub above the height
of the last step of the stairs
Before leaving the factory the mixer is tested empty and all
levels and mechanisms are checked to guarantee the
correct working of the machine.
16. Then manoeuvre with the mixer empty, turning to the right and left
and check that there is nothing strange during driving.
By following these instructions, the operator should be able to become
confident with handling the machine. Working with the mixer and obtaining
the maximum performance from it, will be reached by clocking up hours and
the experience of the driver.
3.2.
LOADING THE MIXER
In the case of towed vertical mixers loading is always carried out using
auxiliary vehicles suitable for this type of operation.
Adding mineral complements or correctors must only be done from the
access ladder. The safety instructions indicated in section 3.8 must be
respected at all times.
Figure 3.1: Access steps
A hopper can be supplied as an option that allows the correctors to be
added to the inside of tub, this can be manual or worked with a hydraulic
auger.
The machine is fitted with a weigh scale that allows the quantity of
products to be added into the tub to be controlled.
During the loading process all the steps, recommendations and safety
warnings indicated in this section and throughout the instructions handbook
must be followed.
The main components of the loading system are described as follows
(Loading shovel see figure 3.2), and the steps to be followed for the correct
use and safety of each system.
Page 33
TOWED VERTICAL MIXER
The mixer should be handled by only one person, the tractor
driver, who will coordinate the actions of other people or
machines should any intervention be necessary.
Self loading back shovel
4.
When the shovel is full, raise it up until it meets the tub. Gravity will
cause the silage to fall inside. Repeat 3, 4 and 5 until the tub is filled.
5.
To check the weight of the silage in the tub this should be tightly closed,
if not the weigh scale may give an incorrect reading
6.
The shovel should be cleaned before filling with other products
The cleaning operation should be carried out with both the
tractor and the mixer stopped. The person who does the
cleaning must have the keys in their possession until the
operation is finalised.
• Shovel: This is a sheet metal structure and it is here that the mix is
placed. It is worked by two hydraulic cylinders that are controlled from
the control set situated at the front part of the mixer which is then
operated from inside the cab. The raising speed of the self loading
shovel can be regulated from the control panel.
1.
Move the mixer to the loading area.
Before any movement with the mixer always check that there
are no people or obstacles.
2.
7. Once loading is finished, raise the shovel to its resting position.
3.3. HOW THE SHREDDERS WORK AND HOW TO USE THEM
The shredders are made up from circular metal sections that penetrate
into the interior of the tub and allow the degree of shredding of the products
that form the mix to be controlled, by retaining them close to the auger
blades. .
Lower the self loading shovel to the lowest possible position.
Before lowering the shovel check that no one is in within the
working area behind the mixer.
3.
Load the shovel with the appropriate machinery.
Whenever the shovel is being lowered for loading, the tractor
driver must ensure that the auger is in the stop position
Figure 3.5: Shredders
Page 34
TOWED VERTICAL MIXER
These are situated at the sides of the tub and are worked manually from
the outside of the same. They can also be operated by a hydraulic cylinder
(Hydraulic shredder option).The number varies in accordance with the
model.
2.
Introduce first dry sub products, then flour or concentrates, after
silage (when the fibre content is very high, mix in silage or damp
products that compress the fibre a little), and finally the fibre
(straw, alfalfa).
3.4.
3.
When the fibre products are very rubbery, (depending on the
experience in each case), dry material should be added first,
(cotton seed, concentrates, granules, etc.), so that the auger is not
empty when the more difficult fibres are added.
4.
Do not overload the mixer or load highly resistant fibrous products
very quickly.
5.
Depending on the products to be mixed, it is preferable to do an
extra mix each day rather than overloading the mixer. To work
properly, the machine is designed to work at a certain working
regime and a load capacity, that if exceeded will cause a loss of
time and unnecessary power consumption.
6.
If for any reason the mixer were to stop with the machine loaded
(at the end of the task, mix overloading, etc.), when it is started up
again it should be done gently in order to obtain a progressive
start-up.
PREPARATION OF THE MIX
The most important element for the preparation of the mix is the auger, or
the two augers in the case of the DUPLO models, incorporated in the inside
of the tub, whose job is in addition to shredding the product, is to continue to
move it avoiding its accumulation in certain zones of the tub, thus achieving a
homogenous mix.
If during the preparation of the mix more fibre than that recommended is
added, the machine will not work properly, producing:
a) Absorption of excessive power.
b) Difficulty in mixing.
c) Increased mixing time.
d) Overloading of the mixer leading to breakage
With the previous paragraph in mind the machine operator should respect
the following rules at all times:
•
•
During the mix preparation more product can be added as long as the
products are circulating correctly and the machine does not appear to
be overloaded.
Check at all times using the working pressure indicator on the auger,
that the pressure does not exceed 350 Bar, as there may be a risk of
blockage. Should the auger jam it will be necessary to gain access to
the tub and empty it manually. This operation should be done paying
special attention to the safety recommendations described in section
3.8.
3.5.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE MIX
For the distribution of the mix and depending on the model, the following
systems can be used (see the following drawings):
•
Unloading door and belt distribution: The unloading belt enables
the mix to be delivered out at both sides of the mixer; it is made up of
a highly resistant regle chain with steel struts. It is worked by means of
a hydraulic motor.
General recommendations:
1.
The performance of the mixer depends on the different types of
product to be mixed and the quantities, and as such, in each case
practice and experience should be acquired.
Page 35
TOWED VERTICAL MIXER
Figure 3.4: Unloading belt
Figure3.6: End of folding belt
- Moveable belt
The belt can be situated both at the back and the front of the mixer
and the following optional functions can be carried out:
- Folding belt prolongation.
Figure 3.7: Moveable belt
The previously mentioned options enable
Figure 3.5: End of folding belt
Warning! When lowering the prolongation of the folding
belt, those in the proximity of the same could be injured.
Ensure that no one is near before starting it.
- Inclined prolongation with a raised fixed angle
Page 36
-
The unloading belt height to be adjusted
Carry out the distribution in areas the mixer finds it
difficult to access
Using the unloading door the quantity of mixture during the distribution
can be controlled during the same.
TOWED VERTICAL MIXER
A holding down system can be ordered as an option (C), made of two
chains and spring hooks, to keep the flap elevated giving access to the
inside of the unloading belt. This system is only used for cleaning and
maintenance of the unloading belt
When the machine is working the flap should be down
at all times to avoid danger of trapping with the
unloading belt chain.
C
Front unloading belt

Opening of rear unloading door
Figure 3.8: Scale on the side door
To know the exact position of the unloading door 5 positions are
marked on the outside of the tub, from 0 to 4, on the front of the mixer.
If the mark is at 0, the unloading door is completely closed. If it is at 5 it
is totally open i.e. numbers should be kept clean and visible.
Should the unloading belt be incorporated at the rear, the opening
indication of the unloading door is carried out as indicated in figure 3.8.
The opening is reflected in the same way on machines without a rear
belt.
Figure 3.9: Holding down flap
• Flap: The unloading belt exit is fitted with a rubber flap thus avoiding
the uncontrolled exit of the mix. To obtain the maximum performance
in the distribution of the mix the flap should be well maintained. When
the end of the belt can be folded the flap is not fitted.
Keep the flap in good condition to avoid possible
danger of catching the unloading belt chain.
•
Distribution through the side unloading door: This could be
situated on one or both sides of the mixer and also on the rear. The
delivery of the mix is carried out by varying the opening of the door.
See the figure that follows.
It is worked by a hydraulic cylinder using the necessary controls.
Depending on the unloading door opening it is possible to regulate the
mix during dosifying.

Get into the tractor cab and check that no services are in action,
start up and drive off
Before moving the mixer ensure that there is no one
near by.
3.7.
LOAD TRIALS
Half load trials
In order to become familiar with the mixer system and check the correct
working of the mixer upon reception, a small load should be carried out
initially with the tub approximately 50% of its capacity. E.g. two bales of
straw, two of alfalfa and a shovel of silage.
It should be checked that the products that are added to the tub, move
around freely without any stoppage and that the machine is not under any
stress and that the mixer does not force the tractor when working.

STOPPING THE MIXER
To stop the mixer
1.
Place the mixer on flat ground far from drainage channels,
trenches, furrows or embankments, where it does not block the
way for people or machines.
This test aims to:
1. Check the correct movement of the product in the inside of the
tub.
2. Practise loading the product (depending on the model).
3. Ensure the final user understands the working system.
2.
Check that there is no service in action, loading or unloading belts
etc.
Maximum load trial
3.
Stop the tractor and remove the keys from the ignition.
When the previous trial is finalised and before unloading, the tub should
be completely loaded to maximum capacity.
To start up again:
4.
Check the external state of the mixer, mechanisms, protections
etc.
5.
Remove the chocks and the parking brakes
Page 38
The following operations should be carried out:
•
Tighten the wheel rims.
•
Tighten the spring leaf clamps (depending on the model)

4.3. CHECKING LEVELS
Weekly, check the oil levels in the gearbox, the auger reducer gear, and
the mixers’ gear motors using the corresponding indicators. Generally, if the
oil levels are low, proceed by filling them. Keep the following in mind:
1. Assure that the appropriate oil is used according to the indications in
An auxiliary reservoir (D) with a liquid
line sight glass (V) situated in the front
of the mixer is provided to check the oil
level.
Table 4.3. (See Section 4.2.)
2. With the mixer on level ground, the oil levels should be checked (cold)
before beginning to work with the mixer.
If the oil level is low, fill the reservoir
through the fill plug (L).
3. Open fill plug and check the level with the corresponding indicator.
4. Fill the oil to correct level, and replace the plug.
Below, the peculiarities that should be considered when checking the
different machine levels are described.
A drain plug is provided on the lower
part of the gear motor for draining the
oil.
Hydraulic System:
L
The reservoir has a liquid line sight
glass (V) on its upper portion
through which hydraulic oil level can
be checked. Hydraulic oil can be
added through fill plug (L) situated
on the upper part of the reservoir.
L
V
If the hydraulic oil level is low, fill it
immediately. Running the machine
while the oil level in this reservoir is
low can result in overheating the oil,
which can damage the components
of the hydraulic system irreversibly.

4. Without connecting the drainage hosepipe, start filling the oil
reducer with suitable oil until clean oil starts to come out and there
are no air bubbles.
5. Connect the drainage hosepipe to the auxiliary tank, previously
removing the cap from step 2.
6. Adjust the oil level up to the gauge on the auxiliary tank.
7. Start up the mixer for a few minutes and check that there is no
noise.

4.4. GREASE
All the machine’s moving joints and drives should be cleaned and greased
weekly using the fittings provided for said purpose (See Fig. 4.11 and 4.12.).
It is good for this to be done by a person with experience in order to observe
the behaviour of the different mechanisms
The locations of the grease fittings previously cited are shown in the
following figures.
The grease fittings are identified using the label
described at the beginning of this manual and shown

If the tires are under inflated, this can damage the internal structure and
cause premature deterioration.
If they are over inflated, this can cause the wheels bounce on hard ground
causing directional loss and uneven wear.
Check tire pressure weekly to assure that is the same as that
indicated in the following table, in addition the pneumatics mounted on the
mixer and the tyre pressure are as those in accordance with the machine.
Weekly, inspect the pneumatic hoses to check for objects
embedded in their tread or between double bogie wheels for the

TOWED VERTICAL MIXER
4.8. LOADING AND MIXING SYSTEM
4.7. BATTERY
The battery provided with the mixer
(auxiliary battery option) requires a
low level of maintenance.
To increase the useful life of the
battery,
the following operations
should be performed every three
months:
-
Clean and apply Vaseline to the
terminals to avoid the build up of
lead sulphate on them.
-
Revise the electrolyte level and fill
with distilled water if necessary.
It is very important to keep the loading system (according to model) and
the auger in perfect shape because correct machine loading and mixing in
the minimum time possible with optimal performance depend directly upon
these components.
Cleaning the Loading System
For the loading system to
operate correctly with optimal
performance, it should be cleaned
each time after making a mix.
If the self loading shovel jams:
lower the bucket,
stop the mixer, and
clean the accumulated
product.
If not using them, keep the auxiliary
connectors, located on the battery
cover, closed at all times.
Figure 4.12: Battery
At least once per year, have the
battery revised by a specialist that has
the
appropriate
measuring
instruments.
If there is a breakdown, replacement or accident, handle the
battery carefully because it contains sulphuric acid. If this
product comes in contact with the skin or eyes flush the
affected area immediately with abundant water.
Never expose the battery to naked flames as it could
explode.
Figure 4.13: Loading System
It is recommended to clean the
loading system whenever products
are changed, depending on the mix
to be made. To do this, follow the
previous steps.
To carry out this operation, the mixer should be shut off and
the tractor’s ignition keys should be in the possession of the
person performing the maintenance.
Changing Blades and Cleaning the Tub
The auger and cutter blades (according to model) should be checked
each month, depending on the forage used. To check the auger and the
cutter blades, take the following steps:
• Check that the blade screws are correctly tightened, and replace
blades that are missing or broken.
Page 48
TOWED VERTICAL MIXER
• Visually inspect the condition of the blades. If blade wear is not
excessive, sharpen them with an electric grinder. If wear is excessive,
the blades should be changed.
For safety reasons, blade maintenance or changes, for the
auger, should be performed by qualified TATOMA personnel.
-
Rotate, sharpen or substitute the blade depending on its condition.
Tighten the screws.
Clean the Inside of the Tub:
For cleaning the inside of tub, place the mixer on a sloping surface, so
that all the accumulated liquids drain from the unloading door that is opened
fully.
Auger:
To carry out maintenance on the auger blades, it is necessary to enter the
inside of the tub. Enter the inside of the tub should be accessed using the
tub access ladder.
Personnel that enter the tub should shut down the machine
and keep the ignition keys in their possession for the whole
time that they are inside. They should also use the individual
protective equipment necessary to guarantee their safety.
For safety reasons, the inside of the tub should be cleaned by
qualified TATOMA personnel.
4.9. UNLOADING BELT
Clean the Unloading Belt
In order for the belt to unload correctly and with optimal performance, it
should be completely unloaded each time it is used. To do this, close the
unloading door and leave the belt running until no mix remains.
Weekly, completely clean the unloading belt by removing its cover and
removing the accumulated mix remains.
Check and Adjust the Chain Tension
To adjust chain tension, tighten the tension screws on the bearings found
on both sides of the belt until the driveshaft is completely aligned.
Figure 4.14: View of Auger Blades
Steps that should be carried out to change the blades are:
- Access the tub by the points previously indicated.
- Remove the screws.
Page 49
TOWED VERTICAL MIXER
4.10. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:
Figure 4.18: Unloading Belt Tension Screw

Figure 4.19: Connector Link
A quick way to check whether the chain is sufficiently tight is to pull the
centre part vertically upward with the hand and assure that the maximum
displacement is in the range of 50 mm. If the chain is worn or stretched it
should be substituted for a new one removing the chain by the connector link
(1).
For safety reasons, checking and adjusting chain tension on
the unloading belt should be performed by qualified TATOMA
personnel.

Hydraulic Retainers
TOWED VERTICAL MIXER
When the mixer is not being used always leave the brake
hosepipe in the holder, if dirt accumulates in the quick fit
connector because of contact with the ground, the oil could
be contaminated and the installation could be damaged.
Besides periodically checking the hydraulic oil level, described in Section
4.2, different maintenance operations should be carried out such as:
a) Periodic visual check for possible oil leaks.
b) Visually check the condition of the hoses, looking for possible points of
wear.
Control Block
Figure 4.20: Hydraulic System
When, for any reason a hose bursts or a strong leak is detected, the
machine should be shut down immediately, and it should be analyzed by a
specialist because if the hydraulic oil reservoir level drops excessively it could
overheat and cause irreversible damages to the hydraulic components.
The hydraulic block is covered with a protection plate (Pd) situated at the
lower part of the column. This is shown in previous drawings. To dismount
the protection remove the screws (Tr) situated at both sides of the
protections.
Any work done on the hydraulic circuit should be performed
only and exclusively by specialized TATOMA personnel due
to the risk implied by handling these components, which
operate at pressures of up to 420 Kg/cm2.
On the hydraulic protection block, a quick fit support can also be found, to
place the hydraulic brake hose when not in use by the mixer (depending on
the model).
If a hose bursts, it should only be replaced by specialized
TATOMA personnel.
Changing the hoses without washing them can cause major
breakdowns to the hydraulic components.
4.11. ELECTRIC SYSTEM
Lighting Systems
The roadway lighting system and signals should always be kept in perfect
conditions, guaranteeing that the mixer is seen by other roadway users.
Figure 4.21: Hydraulic installation
The condition of the machine's different lighting elements should be
periodically checked by turning the corresponding controls on from the cabin
of the tractor (according to model). It is recommended to get the help of
another person, and immediately replace and bulbs that are fused as well as
Page 51
TOWED VERTICAL MIXER
any other elements that have been damaged while the machine was being
used.
The mixer’s rear reflectors should always be kept clean and in good
condition in those models that only have these devices.
Electric Scale
To assure that the scale operates correctly, keep the following
recommendations in mind:
1. Avoid knocks to the screen and the cells. Rough hits to the wheels
when travelling on roads in poor conditions can cause the cells to
deteriorate, causing a defective weight reading.
2. Do not allow water to enter the inside of the screen of the scale or the
switchbox.
3. Periodically check and ensure that the weight indicated by the scale
is correct.
4. When any error is observed in the weight, the following should be
checked:
a)
That the cables make good contact, and they do not get shorted
due to a poor connection.
b)
That the screws and the load sensor clamps are not broken or
bent, causing contact between the tub and the chassis.
c)
That the load sensors have not suffered deformations due to
rough hits.
5. Do not handle the switchbox or the load sensors.
Any work done on the weighing system should be done only
and exclusively by specialized TATOMA personnel.
Page 52
TOWED VERTICAL MIXER
4.13. STOPPING THE MIXER FOR A PROLONGED TIME
If, for any reason, the mixer is not used for long periods of time it should
be parked following the instructions in Section 3.9 of this manual. It is also
advisable to periodically execute the following operations:
• Clean and grease all of the mixer’s parts and joints.
• Disconnect battery terminals (in accordance to the model).
• Inflate tyres to a pressure of 0.3 above the pressures indicated in
Table 4.4.
• Periodically, connect the battery (in accordance to the model), and
connect the mixer to the tractor’s power takeoff. Activate all moving
parts of the mixer executing some movements. Once having
completed this process, stop the mixer, disconnect the tractor's power
takeoff, and disconnect the battery.
If the machine is dismantled the following parts should be recycled: oils,
tyres, hydraulic lines and hoses, plastics, and the battery.
