It is recommended that you start from walls and work toward the center of the house to
minimize the number of trips through the house. Since the blade width is wider that the tire
track, maintaining a minimal overlap you can leave the floor of the house smooth and ridge
free. This will eliminate need for additional trips through the house with other leveling
equipment.
Setting Machine to the Proper Depth
Setting and maintaining the blade depth is also an important part of good performance.
To set the depth, slowly retract the hydraulic cylinder until desired depth is reached. It may
take some time to become accustomed to how deep the blade is running by viewing the blade
and cruster reel guard. In houses where uniform amounts of material will be taken off every-
where, cylinder stops can be added to the rod end of the cylinder. This will provide consistent
blade depth each time the front is picked up and let down.
The tank loads from front to rear and although it is sometimes difficult to see the rear of
the tank because of the dust, you can tell the tank is full when the leveler bars begin to kick
litter up into the air. When this occurs, push the control valve handle to the center position to
stop the conveyors.
Before dumping make sure the control for the sifter, leveler, and feeder reel is in the
neutral position. The tank can be unloaded by dumping. First carry the content to the
compost or dump site and push the control valve lever to the rear. This is to energize the tank
cylinder that raise the tank, which in turn opens the rear door. It is important that all the litter
is unloaded or the rear door will not close properly. The machine is now ready for re-loading.
NOTE: PULL OFF PILE BEFORE LETTING TANK DOWN.
