  • Page 22: Section 2 - Operating The Machine

    SECTION 2 - OPERATION SAFETY FIRST! Before loading and operating the machine, ensure that all operator’s have read and thoroughly understood the safety procedures as stated on pages 6 and 7 of this manual. LOADING THE MACHINE SAFETY FIRST! All ingredients MUST be loaded mechanically. NEVER attempt to load the machine by hand except via the mesh covered rear aperture.
  • Page 23 IMPORTANT! Load to only approximately 85-90% of load volume so as to allow room for the ingredients to mix thoroughly. DO NOT exceed the maximum payload capacity of the machine (see page 5) OVERLOADING the mixing chamber can lead to a notable increase in power consumption and mixing time. If the machine becomes blocked counter rotation of the augers will relieve the pressure.
  • Page 24 SAFETY FIRST! NEVER stand on the loading mesh at the rear of machine. The Kverneland 600 series machines can be fitted with a discharge chute instead of the hydraulically driven conveyor mechanism. The chute is designed for discharging feed directly onto the floor or into low sided troughs, but is not suitable for discharging into mangers or raised troughs.
