MACHINE’S UTILIZATION
In order to prevent drive’s excessive wearing and overload, it is recommended
to prepare and distribute fodder in one cycle
.
WARNING!
DO NOT LEAVE MACHINE FILLED FULLY OVERNIGHT.
9.1.
LOADING
Chamber should never be filled in more than 80%. Otherwise, mixing capabilities may
decrease.
Entire bales, not fragmented, cannot be loaded into the machine.
9.2.
ADVISABLE FODDER LOADING ORDER
Ingredients of the highest density and firmness should be loaded first. Longer ingredients,
i.e. straw, should be added when the machine is filled halfway to get fragmented before any other
ingredients will be added.
When machine is filed in 50-60%, the remaining fodder should be added at the whole length
of the machine. This way, the fodder will be mixed homogeneously quicker.
9.3.
MAXIMUM FODDER WAGON CAPACITY
In order to provide correct machine’s utilization, designed to mix and distribute fodder, and
in order to prevent possible damages, its capacity should not be exceeded. Maximum capacities of
fodder wagons are indicated in table below.
