3.8 Switching on the vapor barrier for powder discharge
DANGER!
Danger of death by electric shock.
The electrical components of the automatic feeder are live. Switching the unit off using the main
switch does not disconnect the voltage to the unit.
► Always switch the automatic feeder off using the main switch and disconnect the power plug
before you remove the cover of the control box.
If the automatic feeder is equipped with a vapor barrier for the powder discharge, you must
check that the respective switch on the processor board is switched on. If not, you must switch
it on. In summer, you can set the switch for the vapor barrier to 0.

3.9 Filling the powder container
1. When filling the powder container, observe the occupational safety precautions.
CAUTION!
Beware of the health hazards caused by lifting heavy loads.
► When filling the powder container make sure you do not strain yourself. If necessary, use
appropriate lifting aids.
2. Fill the powder container with milk powder (MP)
NOTICE!
If the milk tank and the powder container are both empty there is a risk of malnutrition
since the calves will receive only water.
Malnutrition can cause impaired growth and development, increased susceptibility to illness or
even death of the calves.
► Inform the end user that he must fill up an empty powder container or an empty milk tank
immediately, or provide his calves with feed using an alternative method.
