tractor power take-off, in models actuated by the tractor) and wait for a few moments, until the machine
reaches the proper operating rotating speed.
PICK-UP:
The picking-up of the Ensiling machine must be constant, but based on the operating capacity of the
installed motor, considering the assembly characteristics of the machine and motor. An excess
instake of material will overload the motor and, if the maximum recommended amperage is exceeded
and this can cause serious damage.
The amperage verification can be done using an ammeter.

machine is completely empty. Never turn off the machine when there is product inside.
CAUTION
Keep the hands away from the moving roller, pulleys, gears, belts, and axles. Do
not try to remove any remainders of products, straw etc., from inside the pick-up or
unloader nozzle-chutes, when the machine is turned on.
