Opening hose fittings
There are eight hose fittings on the automatic feeder mixer. Two of them are open and six are
closed with a plug.
1. With an appropriate tool, press the plug of the hose fitting you would like to open into the
mixer jar.
2. Remove the plug from the mixer jar and store it in an appropriate place so that you can seal
the hose fitting again if necessary.

Installing feeding station
•
Install the teat at its intended location on the front plate, approx. 10 cm above the suction
hose connection of the mixer and the resulting 40 cm above the lamb’s floor level.
NOTICE!
The suction hose must not be longer than 2 meters.
This can lead to malnutrition. Malnutrition can cause impaired growth and development, in-
creased susceptibility to illness or even death of the animals.
NOTICE!
There is a risk of infection due to feed building up in the hose.
The hose between the teat and the mixer jar must not sag and must be installed at a gradient
to the automatic feeder (see illustration above).
