KEENAN diet feeders have been designed to reduce risk to a minimum. However, as with any
machine, careful observation of safety procedures is necessary to prevent accidents.
See inside for further details on each section. If you have any further questions, please contact
your local KEENAN centre for advice.
WARNING:
Read the following safety section (Section 5) before attempting to operate your
machine.
5 Safety
The KEENAN MechFiber diet feeder has many safety features built into its design, but,
ultimately, safe operation requires the vigilance of the operator and an understanding of the
potential safety hazards.
The machine is designed to be used as a mixer/chopper wagon for mixing animal feeds. It
should not be used for any other purpose that could affect its performance or safety.
