4. Installation.
1. Mount the machine separately using the support eye on a pen partition at least 75cm high.
2. Insert the end of the mixing blade into the eye at the end of the feed mortar.
3. Install the mixing chamber using the knurled knobs.
4. Fix the trough on to the grille using the grille hooks.
5. Slide the machine towards the trough and place the drop tube above the end of the mixing chamber.
6. Fix the machine in place using the fixing bolts and protective covers.
7. Insert the sensor plug.
8. Screw the flow regulator on to the fitting and attach the water hose by pushing it into the coupling.
9. Connect the other end of the water hose to a water supply. Ensure the water is clean and the pressure is at least
0.5 bar (7 psi).
10. The machine starts automatically as soon as the power is switched on.
5. Piglets and feeding.
•
Always ensure the nest is warm, >30°C.
•
Ask your feed supplier for feed advice; always use a meal or a pellet with a maximum diameter of 2mm.
•
When switching to solid food this must be provided ad lib dry alongside the mash.
•
The feed quantity is adjusted manually. In practice the trough must be empty for around 10 minutes in every hour.
In this way leftover feed can be avoided.
•
Manual adjustment demands little effort but does require discipline; it guarantees best results.
•
The sensor must only function as an emergency brake; under normal circumstances the sensor does not come into
contact with the feed.
•
The best and simplest indication of the correct feed quantity is the absence of old leftover feed in the trough. The
feed in the trough must look fresh!
•
Too much feed: there is old leftover feed.
•
Too little feed: the piglets are hungry and the trough is empty.
•
Checking once a day is sufficient; the best time to check is in the afternoon.
•
The feed should not be too runny or too dry, it should flow to some extent (dry content 20-24%).
•
If diarrhoea should occur, immediately provide water with organic acids and select a feed type with a lower energy
content.
•
Provide drinking water freely as soon as the piglets are familiar with the mash.
•
Avoid age differences as far as possible.
6. Cleaning and maintenance.
•
The trough and the mixing chamber can be detached and hosed clean.
•
Never use a high-pressure spray for cleaning the other parts, particularly the control box.
•
The inside of the feed hopper only holds dry feed and does not have to be wet-cleaned.
•
Clean the control box and the outside of the machine with a damp cloth.
•
The machine requires no specific maintenance other than the compulsory safety inspections.
7. Guarantee.

The guarantee period runs for one year.
