Disconnect the scales' electric lead.

hitch.
DANGER
Exercise caution when unhitching the mixer feeder from the tractor. Ensure good
visibility. Unless it is necessary, do not go between tractor and machine.
Before disconnecting conduits and drawbar eye, close tractor cab and secure it against
access by unauthorised persons. Turn off tractor engine.
Do NOT unhitch the mixer feeder if its tank is full.

4.3 FILLING THE TANK AND FEED PREPARATION

The tank loading should be performed using mechanical devices: loader, bale grab, fork, etc.
Manual loading should be performed from platforms or other elevations. To ensure safety
and ergonomic working conditions, the height of the stands for manual loading should be
smaller than the height of the wall extension edge by at least 1.4 metre.
DANGER
When operating the PTO shaft, be especially careful and adhere to the recommendations
contained in the operator's manuals of the tractor and mixer feeder.
DANGER
When operating the mixer feeder, pay special attention to ensure that the cutting blades
are always sharp. Operation of the mixer feeder with high auger mixer speeds is not
economical. Take these remarks into account to shorten the feed disintegration time, save
fuel and increase the machine life.
Place quick couplers in special sockets in the rear section of the
platform and protect conduit ends with caps.
