OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - BelMix T659 FEED TRAILER
5.9. CLEANING
After the feed discharge run, thoroughly clean the feeder trailer of
feed residues inside and at the gate guides. Use pressure cleaners.
Dry the trailer in winter in a sheltered room above zero Celsius. Frozen
water may damage the paint coat or machine components. Failure to
follow the cleaning instructions may result in bacterial contamination
hazards that cause illness of animals.
5.9.1. MACHINE CLEANING INSTRUCTION
Before cleaning the feeder wagon, do the following:
•
turn off the tractor's engine and remove the ignition key;
•
secure the feeder wagon and the tractor against movement with the
parking brake;
•
decouple the PTO drive-shaft from the tractor;
•
fully open the gates on the feeder wagon;
•
secure the tractor against unauthorised access;
•
wear protective clothing;
•
wash the trailer thoroughly with strong water jet from a pressure
cleaner and leave to dry.
5.9.2. REMOVAL OF CLOGS
When unloading light feed components (hay, straw), the feed may stop
moving to the discharge. In order to remove clogs during mixing, add
other components (e.g. water) to force the movement of the entire
mixture mass.
If a clog occurs during unloading and cannot be removed by full opening
of the gate, the operator must intervene manually. Stop the tractor
engine, remove the ignition key, enter the service platform and use a
fork to move the feed clog away from the discharge opening.

•
connect the trailer lighting system plug to the tractor and do a
functional test of the lamps;
•
check the condition and pressure of the tyres;
•
check the condition and performance of the trailer pneumatic brake;
•
check the tightening and safety of all nuts, bolts, joints and clamps;
•
clean the machine;
•

trailer tank back).
When travelling on public roads:
•
