Operating tips
- To blow the straw regularly, the bale must remain in
permanent contact with the beater bar, but must not
be blocked too hard by the gate.
- Lift the back of the machine slightly to avoid the bale
being thrown to the back of the beater bar.
- During straw blowing, adjust the height of the body in
order to:
• keep round bales up against the beater bar when
the product requires little power.
• facilitate the rotation of round bales against the
beater bar when the product is tougher.
- To improve product feed into the blower, up to 3 hooks
can be mounted on the beater bar in place of the
sections.
Keep an angle of 120° between the hooks.
Never distribute hay or haylage with hooks fitted
to the beater bar.
If the blower or bale separator is blocked, use
the hook (1) inside the left hand machine
casing, to remove any product which is stuck
in the distribution chute or bale separator.
Afterwards, use a lever to turn the blower
freely.
You are strongly recommended to spread straw
after distributing feed to the animals: this helps
clean and dry the machine (straw absorbs silage
acids) and thereby limit corrosion of the machine
by acid attack..
To spread straw in stalls, use a turbine rotation
speed of 270 min
