Running the automatic feeder

feeding is not possible. You can only feed calves together if they are the same age and have

the same feed entitlement.

If there are several feeding stations, then the respective feeding station valves are opened.

Risk of burns on feeding station valves. During prolonged ad lib mode, feeding

station valves become hot. You can burn your fingers or hand when touching these valves. For

this reason, push the suction hose directly onto the mixer jar spout and disconnect the device

plug from the feeding station valve.

1 Female power connector

2 Box valve

Cleaning agent that enters the feed can be hazardous to the health of calves.

Therefore, always disable all time-controlled cleaning menus during ad lib mode.
