Checking Poultry House for Obstructions
The KMC Poultry Litter Windrower is not
designed to clean out around interior posts and
other obstacles. The poultry house should be
checked for obstacles that may hang on the
windrower’s blade. These obstacles may in-
clude exposed bolts, nails, wiring conduit, and
water lines
NOTE: Operation of the POULTRY LITTER WINDROWER places substantial lateral
(sideways) force on the windrower. Make sure tractor hitch stabilizing bars are
properly installed to minimize lateral movement of the Litter Windrower.
DANGER ROTATING AUGER: ALL PERSONS SHOULD STAY CLEAR
OF ROTATING AUGER. BEFORE DISMOUNTING TRACTOR TO
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS, DISENGAGE AUGER DRIVE.

TRANSPORTATION
STORAGE
When transporting the Litter Windrower, be aware that the Litter Windrower blade
extends beyond the tractor tires. Be careful when entering and exiting the poultry house .
Care should be taken not to hang the blade on any objects. DO NOT EXCEED 20 MPH
WHEN TRANSPORTING WITH GAUGE WHEELS IN DOWN POSITION.
The Poultry Litter Windrower should be washed thoroughly. After washing, treating
with a disinfectant is recommended to kill any remaining bacteria. Treat the metal compo-
nents of the machine with a soluble oil to protect from rust and corrosion. One product which
meets these requirements is called “Film Fluid” manufactured by Eureka Chemical Co., San
Francisco, CA. It is sold in some tractor dealerships and farm supply dealers.
