Instructions for work

5. Silage unloading

Approaching the silo

- Set the hydraulic distributo control to continuous

pumping mode.

- Raise the arm and the hook as far as possible to

ensure good visibility and avoid crushing the heap
following a collision.

- Lower the machine as far as it will go, taking care to

avoid scraping the heel along the ground, then
reverse towards the front of the silo.

- Set the heel of the machine on the ground before

contacting the silage to be unloaded.

For a corridor silo, position the machine slightly on the

bias so as to load as close to the wall as possible.

For a machine equipped with a hydraulic unit,
you must set the gearbox to neutral..

Never attempt to penetrate the silo by
reversing forcefully.
