OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The KMC Poultry House Wall Cleaner is made up of 4 main components: a frame, a
main blade, a rear gauge wheel, and an attached augering system.
An optional curb deflec-
tor
attaches on the right end of the cleaner for houses with
flat curbs coming off the wall.
Please remove this attachment if it is not required in your poultry house.
This attach-
ment prevents cake from flipping up on top of the curb as shown on page (4) Figure 1. The
frame supports the other 3 components. The Poultry House Wall Cleaner runs along the wall
moving around interior posts and other objects. Material is moved along the blade to be dis-
charged by the augering system.
A tube bolted to the back side of blade moves through rollers located in a carriage as-
sembly attached to the main frame. The roller mechanism allows the blade 12 inches of
travel from wall. An extension spring provides the force to keep the sliding blade against the
wall.
Although the Wall Cleaner can be used before or after the poultry house is cleaned
with a house cleaner, it is suggested that it be used first if the litter is only 3” to 4” deep. If the
litter is deeper, it is better to clean the walls with the wall cleaner after the house has been
cleaned with the house cleaner.
Operating the Wall Cleaner requires the tractor operator to keep the tractor parallel
with the wall at a distance, from the wall, that allows the sliding blade assembly to operate
within its 12 inches of travel.
The blade depth is set by adjusting the tractor’s lift arms depth control and set the
blade depth to remove the desired amount of material. On tractors that have open-center
hydraulic systems, you may not be able to adjust the depth while the auger is turning. With
these systems, it may take some trial and error to initially get the proper depth set. The Wall
Cleaner blade frame must be ran level from left to right and front to rear in the operating posi-
tion. Wrenchless depth adjustment can be make by moving rear 6 x 12 gauge wheel to de-
sired depth.
