2.1.3 LOADING THE MIXER FEEDER AND FEED MIXING

• Before loading the mixer feeder, ensure proper visibility of the mixer feeder and
the danger zone. Make certain that there are no bystanders in the loading zone
near the machine and that there are no obstacles preventing proper machine
operation. There must be sufficient space to ensure efficient loading of bales into
the mixer feeder tank.
• The bales to be loaded must not contain remains of wrapping twine, net or film.
• Make certain that the slide gates are completely closed.
• Do NOT exceed the mixer feeder's maximum carrying capacity.
• Do NOT remove feed clogging during auger operation. In order to remove
clogging, stop the mixer feeder drive, stop the engine and remove key from
ignition.
• During loading the mixer feeder, the drawbar eye and the tractor hitch are
subjected to great vertical loads.
• During loading, nobody may be on the platform or near the tank. Operator may
enter the platform when the feed charge is preliminarily disintegrated and mixed.
• During PTO shaft operation, nobody may be at the place located above the top
edge of the wall extensions.
• During loading, the mixer feeder's drawbar may be raised under temporary load.
That is why, take special care to ensure that the mixer feeder's drawbar eye is
properly hitched and secured.
• Protect your eyes against dust when being on the platform during auger mixer
operation.
• During auger mixer operation (during mixing and disintegrating), do NOT put your
hands or legs or objects into the tank.
