IF YOUR SYSTEM IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A DOOR CLOSER,
THE DOORS SHOULD BE CLOSED AFTER THE EMPTY CHICKEN

14. At this time step 9 may be repeated.
15. Turn the washer selector switch to “UP” to raise the washer cradle. Make sure you hold the selector switch
until the cylinders are fully extended. This will be accomplished when the cradle stops tilting upward while still
holding the selector switch. Then release the selector switch.
16. The washing cycle start automatically when the cradle reaches the upper position. This cycle lasts around
one (1) minute. If the washing cycle does initiate, but no water is coming out of the nozzles, verify that the
water pump switch is in the “ON” position. If the switch is in the “OFF” position, turn it to the “ON” position. If
the switch is in the “ON” position, but no water is coming out of the nozzles, turn the water pump switch “OFF”
and report the malfunction to your supervisor and/or the maintenance manager.
17. After the washing cycle is completed. Turn the washer selector switch to “DOWN” until the cradle is com-
pletely down. This will be accomplished when the cradle stops tilting downward while still holding the selector
switch. Then release selector switch.
18. Pull the fifth (OUTGOING ROLLS) hydraulic lever and hold until the empty chicken cage reaches the end
of the outgoing conveyor. Then release it. If there is a chicken cage at the unloading area, release the lever
before the cages hit each other.
Note that if your system is equipped with a hydraulic door closer, you do not have to perform any action. The
door closer is an automatic system.
