3. Call the emergency number for the fire department and inform them about the situation. The machine
has a 24V Li-ion rechargable battery.

2.2.3 General Safety
• When locking up cows in the feed fence (e.g. for clawcare) on a location where the machine can drive
during a route or by accident, the machine must be switched off or taken out of operation to prevent
serious injury of cows! Locked up cows can not get away when the machine approaches.
• No calfs are allowed in the area where the machine is active.
• Separate pregnant cows timely to prevent cows from calving in the regular barn. The machine can be
dangerous for newborn calves (injuries and/or pushed into the manure pit).
• Cut off the tail plume and shave the tail to prevent as much as possible that the tail is being entangled
when the cow lies on the bed and the machine drives behind the cow.
• Do not modify the installation or the building and make sure the fencing and walls that prevents the
machine from leaving the manure alley stay in place and not damaged.
• Read and understand the manual and all safety signs before you connect power supplies to operate,
maintain or adjust the machine.
• Do not work near the magnets in the charger if you have a cardiac pacemaker or other implant that can
be impaired by magnetic fields.
• Only trained persons are permitted to operate the machine.
• Review safety related requirements with all machine operators frequently (annually).
• Keep unauthorized persons, especially small children away from the manure alley at all times because
of hazards from the unpredictability of cows.
• Make sure that the danger and caution signs are clearly visible. Clean them when they are dirty and
replace them when they are damaged. The signs are:
• A danger sign near the open hole when it is next to a public area
• Caution signs for moving vehicles at the entrance of each corridor in the barn
• A first-aid kit must be available in or near the barn where the machine operates. Store in a highly visible
place.
• Know the emergency medical center number for your area.
• The area around the dump pit must be well ventilated especially when there is a combined dump pit
and charger. The manure gasses can be explosive.
• Always ventilate the area before and during work on the machine. The manure gasses can be toxic.
• Always ventilate the barn during manure mixing. The manure gasses can be toxic.
• Make sure no manure mixing is active when you work on the machine near the dump pit. The manure
gasses can be toxic and explosive.
• A carbon dioxide gas extinguisher or powder fire extinguisher must be available in or near the barn
where the machine operates. Store in a highly visible place.
Dry sand can also be used to cover the machine when the battery is burning.
• When the buzzer is defect, make sure it is being repaired before putting the machine into operation
again.
