16 Important safety instructions
• Do not install the automatic feeder outdoors, in the open.
• If there is a connection to a drinking water system, then the system must be protected from
back siphoning.
• The following specific hazards are associated with the automatic feeder's electrical system:
•
Electrical discharge . If there is an electrical or voltage discharge, electric current flows
through parts of the automatic feeder that are normally insulated. Touching the unit can
cause a fatal electric shock. The automatic feeder must be checked regularly for electri-
cal safety in compliance with national regulations (repeated inspection). Make sure that
a 30 mA residual current device (RCD) is installed.
• Short circuit, indirect contact . If there is a short circuit, current at many times the level
of the operating current can flow. Touching the unit can cause a fatal electric shock.
Make sure you install a fuse (provided by the customer) corresponding to the rating on
the name plate and a 30 mA residual current device (RCD) in compliance with local reg-
ulations.
• The solenoid valves and the pipes to the valves can reach temperatures of up to 70°C.
Touching it can cause burns. Do not touch the solenoid valves and pipes during operation.
• Liquid at temperatures of up to 70°C can spray out of the pipes to the valves. This can cause
scalding. Do not touch the pipes during operation. Carry out the recommended maintenance
on the hoses.
• The mixer and powder supply may start up unexpectedly if a calf which is entitled to feed
approaches the unit. This can crush or chop off fingers or hands. Never reach into the area
of the mixer or powder supply while the automatic feeder is in operation. Use only the scrap-
er supplied to clean the powder discharge opening.
• Poisoning . Additives that are fed to the calves may contain substances that are hazardous
to human health. Avoid direct contact and always wear protective gloves and goggles when
handling these substances.
• Chemical burns . The cleaning agent used to clean the automatic feeder contains caustic
substances. They can cause severe injuries to your hands or eyes. Avoid direct contact and
always wear chemical-proof protective gloves and goggles when handling the cleaning
agent.
• Excessive physical strain . The automatic feeder weighs 80kg. Never attempt to carry it by
yourself as this can cause excessive physical strain.
Material damage caused by the automatic feeder
The automatic feeder can cause the following types of material damage:
• Infection . Improper cleaning or incorrect operation can result in calves becoming infected
by pathogens from the automatic feeder. This can lead to medical costs or cause the death
of the calves.
• Corrosion . Improper cleaning or maintenance can result in the automatic feeder ceasing to
function correctly.
• Loss of stability . The automatic feeder must be set up on a level surface. Otherwise, the
automatic feeder can tip over and suffer damage.
