5.7.1. Manual Filling of the Chain
Disk Systems
It is possible to fill some Chain Disk Systems
without waiting for a feed cycle to start.
When this manual start-up is performed, the
Manual Mode pilot light turns on and the
controllers activates the proper outputs in
order to fill up the required Chain Disk
System(s) (see the different filling methods

ends when the Chain Disk System is full.
If the user manually adds feed to
a Chain Disk System while a feed
cycle is ongoing, the ongoing cycle
will be bypassed and replaced by the manual
filling process. When the controller returns to
the automatic mode, it will not resume the
previous cycle but will wait for the next Dump
Time (if applicable). A manual dump can also
be performed (see next section). Do not forget
to exit from the manual mode when the manual
filling process is completed.
