CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The Sheep Auto Drafter is of robust design so that it can withstand typical
farming conditions, as a result it is resilient in most situations. However following
the instructions below will help you to get the best results from your unit and to
avoid damaging it.
Cleaning instructions
It is inevitable that dung and other dirt will be tracked through the unit during
routine use. It is best to clear the build up of these materials from some key
areas regularly so that the unit will operate effectively:
Under the floor. A build up of material may touch the floor and affect the
•
unit's weighing accuracy.
Around the gate area. Material gathering here may hamper gate movement.
•
Between the Sheep Auto Drafter and the sorting unit. A build up here may
•
touch the floor and affect the unit's weighing accuracy.
To clean the unit
Remove the side panels.
•
Sweep or wash the floor.
•
Scrape out any build up of material from around the gates, under the floor
•
and between the Sheep Auto Drafter and sorting unit.
Notes:
It is acceptable to clean the unit down with a water blaster but do NOT
•
spray up under the bridge area or around the two scale head/reader towers
with a high pressure blast that could drive water into the bridge.
Take care that you do not drive water into the loadcell assemblies by
•
directing a high pressure jet on this area (you would need to have the sheep
auto drafter on its side to pose this risk).
Washing the unit down at a car wash station where you apply soapy water
•
etc under control of the operator is acceptable as long as the above notes
are taken into account when rinsing the unit down.
When towing on a trailer there MUST be a cover over the sheep auto drafter
•
to prevent rain driving into the bridge area where the main circuit board is.
