Commissioning 25
NOTICE!
The suction hose must not be longer than 2 meters
Otherwise, the calves will have problems sucking in the feed. This can lead to malnutrition. Mal-
nutrition can cause impaired growth and development, increased susceptibility to illness or even
death of the calves.
NOTICE!
There is a risk of infection due to feed building up in the hose.
The hose between the teat and the mixer beaker valve (rationed mode) or mixer beaker (ad lib
mode) must not sag and must be installed at a gradient to the automatic feeder (see the illus-
tration).
NOTICE!
If no ActivityBoxes acre connected and hence no return hoses for the automatic suction hose
cleaning are connected to the automatic feeder, it is essential that the partition fittings are closed
off with dummy plugs.
3.4.2 Installing stand partitions
Install the stand partitions, where fitted, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
3.5 Attaching the pushbutton/remote control for manual feed start
The pushbutton/feeding button (optional) activates the feed pump. The feed pump helps habit-
uate animals to automatic feed consumption and stimulate weak calves to consume feed.
