Operation
Before turning on the machine, carefully check the following:
- Check to see if there are any objects or tools on the machine, motor, or inside the pick-up nozzle-
chute.
- If there are any people or animals near the machine.
- If the machine cover if properly latched.
- If the motor rotation direction is correct.
- If the belts are properly stretched.
In models EN-9F3B, EN-12B and EN-12F4, before the first operation, remember to put oil in the
transmission gearbox, as stated in this manual.
When the ENSILING MACHINE is properly coupled and completely empty, start the motor (turn on the
tractor power take-off, in models actuated by the tractor) and wait for a few moments, until the machine
reaches the proper operating rotating speed.
Keep the hands away from the moving roller, pulleys, gears, belts, and axles. Do
not try to remove any remainders of products, straw etc., from inside the pick-up or
unloader nozzle-chutes, when the machine is turned on.
Never use the pick-up nozzle-chute without first closing the protective cover.
CAUTION
PICK-UP:
The picking-up of the Ensiling machine must be constant, but based on the operating capacity of the
installed motor, considering the assembly characteristics of the machine and motor. An excess
instake of material will overload the motor and, if the maximum recommended amperage is exceeded
and this can cause serious damage.
The amperage verification can be done using an ammeter.
TURNING OFF THE ENSILING MACHINE:
Before turning off the ensiling machine, wait until all the product is blasted from the machine and the
machine is completely empty. Never turn off the machine when there is product inside.
