2.2.2 Mixing and Feeding Robot Safety Instructions
Operating safety
• Only trained persons are permitted to drive the Mixing and Feeding Robot.
• Install all covers before you operate the Mixing and Feeding Robot.
• Do not climb on the Mixing and Feeding Robot to inspect the mixing process. The mixing process can
be checked by positioning a mirror in the loading zone above the mixing bin, or by using the Lely step
ladder.
• Only operate the Mixing and Feeding Robot in a marked track.
• Never have the mixing bin loaded with more than 600 kg (1323 lb), this causes a longer braking
distance and wear on the wheels and other parts.
• Only operate the Mixing and Feeding Robot in a track with a slope less than 5%.
• Keep the marked track free from obstacles and as clean and as dry as possible.
Maintenance safety
• Mixing knives are very sharp.
• Always switch off the Mixing and Feeding Robot (see Switch off the Mixing and Feeding Robot with
the Key (MFR 2) on page 5-10) before you do work on the mixing knives.
• Always wear protective clothing before you do maintenance inside the mixing bin (see Cut Resistant
Clothing on page 2-4).
• Never climb into a loaded mixing bin without knowing where the mixing knives are located under
the feed.
• Always install the knife guards on the knives before you remove or install a knife, or do other work
in the mixing bin.
• Metal parts on the magnets can be sharp, always wear protective gloves when you clean the magnets.
• Disconnect and isolate the electrical power supply with the safety key before you do work on the
Mixing and Feeding Robot (see Switch off the Mixing and Feeding Robot with the Key (MFR 2) on page
5-10),
if work is done under the skirt, switch off the main switch on the batteries (see Switch off the Main
Switch on the Mixing and Feeding Robot near the Battery on page 5-12).
