Operating Limits & Recommendations
Ensure that the operator is suitably qualified to use a machine of this nature and that they have fully read and
understood this manual - they should be aware of all safety aspects relating to the safe use of the machine.
It is advisable that all ‘first time’ operators practice using the machine in a safe space ‘in the yard’ to familiarise
themselves with the operation before attempting use with stock.
AFTER APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR OF WORK WITH A NEW MACHINE, ALL NUTS, BOLTS AND DRIVE BELTS
SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR TIGHTNESS AND ADJUSTED AS NECESSARY!
Operating Limits
Minimum / Maximum Temperature:
-15°C / +40°C
Forward Speed
The forward working speed will affect the distance between drops of feed - to increase the distance between drops
use a faster forward speed, to reduce the distance use a slower forward speed.
DO NOT OPERATE BEYOND OPERATING LIMITS, DAMAGE TO MACHINERY OR INJURY TO
OPERATOR MAY OCCUR.
