Unloading Forage
The steamed forage is slightly wet on the outside due to condensation on the bottom of the
hay chest lid. However, the inside of the forage is dry to the touch. To ensure the hay chest
and its lid always fit together properly, keep the lid on the hay chest in the closed position as
they cool down.
Hot steam and temperatures can cause burns
Beware of hot steam when you open the hay chest lid. When you open
the lid of the hay chest, stand to one side of the hay chest to allow steam
to escape. Do not lean over the hay chest as steam escapes.
To Unload Forage
1. Lift the lid of the hay chest or remove the lid (HG ONE), opening it from the side to
allow steam to escape.
2. Unload the forage from the hay chest. Warning: If the forage in the hay chest is too
hot, please wear protective gloves when you handle it. Take care when you unload
hay nets or tied bales and make sure to lift directly up and not levered against the
mainfold spikes.
3. Close the lid of the hay chest.
Weather Specific Conditions
Working in freezing conditions
When the ambient temperature is 0 degrees or below, water can freeze in the hay chest, steam
generator or steam hose. Disconnect the steam generators and tilt the hay chest backwards
to allow water to drain out of the steam manifold(s) and to help prevent ice from forming in the
hay chest when not in use.
To steam hay in freezing conditions:
1. Disconnect the steam hose from the hay chest.
2. To ensure there is no ice in the steam hose, fill the steam generator with water and
then switch it on. Do not load forage in the hay chest.
• If steam comes out of the safety cap and not out of the steam hose, switch off
the steam generator. To remove ice in the steam hose, place it in warm water
and gently squeeze it. Then switch on the steam generator again.
• Warning: Do not unscrew the safety cap.
• If steam comes out of the steam hose, connect to the hay chest.
