3. Transport and Positioning

Only transport the feeder in a folded down position. When transporting the feeder on the road, lighting devices
must be fixed in accordance with the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO). Also a tensioning belt must be used
so that the side elements can't touch the rear wheel of the tractor. When towing the feeder, please note that the
range between tractor and three-point linkage is limited.
A tractor linkage and a top link are required for the transport. The top link must be attached from below to the
bolts. The use of a hydraulic top link is recommended.
If the feeder is securely attached to the tractor via the three-point linkage, it can be transported (2.40 m width).
Position the feeder in your pasture on the ground where the surface is as level as possible. Make sure there's a
sufficient distance to adjacent objects or buildings so that the side elements of the feeder can be opened without
any problems. Once the feeder is positioned at the desired location, it's recommended to secure it in order to
protect against gusts of wind or storms. The supplied Gripple ground anchors can be used for this. The ground
anchors can be placed around the skid-type feet of the feeder and have to be driven into the ground.
4. Filling
At least one side segment must be opened to fill the weather protective feeder. Please note for the filling, the entry
height of 2.50 m. Please also note that you fill the weather protective feeder towards the direction of the skid-type
feet to prevent them from buckling.
5. Operation
No further points need to be observed during operation.
With high winds or when large amounts of snow are expected, or when snow loads are high, the side elements
have to be in a folded down position. Please read and follow the safety instructions.
When folding down the side elements, one person must support the panel and another person has to release the
locking bolts with the use of a small ladder.
6. Maintenance
Please check the function of all components regularly and tighten loosened screws if necessary.
Also regularly check the positions of the locking bolts to prevent the side elements from getting loose.
