HAZARD AREAS Height of safety fence (according to standard: EN ISO 13857:2008): • If the machine is raised with extended leg set, the height of the safety fence must be at least 300mm higher than the lower frame on the feed table. See figure below. •...
It can be delivered as MaxiMag with only feedtable/magazine or MaxiFeeder with cutting device for cutting and processing of forage. The system can be delivered with up to 5 mid-sections of 2 meters each, for a total length of 14,5 meters. The shortest unit, consists of only back- and front-section will have a total length of 4,5 meters.

INSTALLATION STAN The stand is assembled to the frame of the machine. The stand has lugs for assembling supporting struts and must therefore be placed inwards toward the underside of the machine. The leg on the stand is prepared for adaption on site and can be cut to the required length. To fasten the floor fastener a hole is drilled in the leg.
Page 14
INSTALLATION In the front of the machine bracket for supporting strut must be placed and holes drilled in the frame. In the back of the machine the bracket is placed as shown on figure 11. Bracket Supporting strut Figure 13: Supporting strut fastened to the frame with bracket.
Page 15
INSTALLATION LOAD CELL MaxiFeeder with cutting device has a load cell installed in each leg to measure the forage amount which goes through the machine. The load cells are placed on a ball to remove side circuits. These balls are placed after the legs are assembled.

CUSTOMIZATION LOADING FROM THE SIDE By removing rear pole and assemble a short side plate we create a clearing of nearly 2 meter in the rear end of the machine. This makes it possible to load the machine from a side. Make sure the photocells are placed above each other for signal.
Page 29
Both diode on the photocells light up = photocells have not contact with the opposite photocell. The control system will thereby assume the feed table/chamber is full. Figure 23: Placing of photocells on MaxiFeeder.
The drum plates are named with C. and C.. . MaxiFeeder use two different types of knifes distributed all over the knife drum as shown on the illustration on next page. The distribution of right and left bended knifes provide a good balance between cutting of forage and feeding capacity.
Page 31
KNIFE SETUP Figure 27: “Folded” knifedrum with standard setup with 59 knifes. This distribution provides a calm and balanced rotation of the knife drum. CHANGE OF KNIFES The knifes are inserted into the groove in the drum and fastened with supplied bolt and nut in knife holder.
Figure 29: MaxiMag with sectional measurements. The smallest MaxiFeeder consists of a back section and a front section with a length of 4,5 meters. Thereon the machine extends with mid sections wit a length of 2 meters each.

This might be a TopFeeder (belt feeding installation) or similar. MaxiFeeder runs in sequences for start-up and stop. During operation the ampere use of the knife drums are monitored to adjust, eventually stop, the operation if necessary.
Page 34
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION SAFEGUARD SYSTEM MaxiFeeder and MaxiMag can communicate with several other machines to improve the operation and security. Several of Serigstads cutting machines can be installed in the same system to achieve different mixes of forage. Start-up signal form a superior control unit such as TopFeeder, distribution wagon and so on.
Page 35
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION AUTOMATIC FLOW ADJUSTMENTS MENGDEREGULERING AV UTFÔRING MaxiFeeder with cutting device can monitor and adjust the forage flow to achieve an even and correct feeding. The forage flow is monitored by a ultrasonic sensor. If the amount deviate from required amount speed of the conveyor belt will automatically be regulated.
USE MAXIMAG 1. Reset 2. Emergency stop 3. Turn switch: loading - 0 - feeding 4. Main power switch Figure 32: MaxiMag control cabinet. Figure 33: Loading of magazine.

USE MAXIMAG RESET OF EMERGENCY STOP If emergency switch has been activated; loosen emergency switch and press reset button for 3 seconds. LOADING OF FORAGE • Put turn switch in “loading” position. • 10 seconds acoustic and light signal. • Conveyor belt reverse until remaining forage is detected on the rear photocells.

2. Press blue switch until a “click” is heard from SafeGuard control cabinet. 3. Press blue switch again until a “click” is heard from MaxiFeeder control cabinet. 4. Press and hold “reset error” button on the screen for a couple of second.
As an additional choice MaxiFeeder can be delivered with app control. Machine is connected to the local network (wifi). This allows us to monitor and control the machine from anywhere – in the barn, in the sofa or on the train.

MAINTENANCE Proper maintenance extends the machines working time and contribute to a trouble-free op- eration. Regular inspections also provide a financial benefit in form of a low power consump- tion, lower repair costs and higher productivity. After 24 hours of operation a follow-up check is made for certain elements of the machine as the conveyor belt, grease, knifes and oil-level on transmission.
Page 45
MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION MaxiFeeder is supplied with lubrication points in front of the machine, see figure 40. In the rear-end there is lubrication ponts in each end of the shaft, see figure 41. MaxiMag has two lubrication points, one on each side of the drive shaft.
Page 46
The position and dispersion of knifes are important to prevent unnecessary wear on the knife drum and ensure satisfactorily and efficient cutting of forage. Follow guide on page 31. Figure 46: MaxiFeeder with knifes for dry forage to the left and standard knifes to the right.
Page 47
MAINTENANCE STANDARD KNIFE Standard knife is used when the forage is fluctuating in the percentage of dry residue in forage. Standard knife has a wavy edge to grab as much forage as possible on each turn. Figure 47: Standard knife. KNIFE FOR DRY MATTER Knife for dry matter is used when the forage has a dry residue from 30% and...
