2 GENERAL INFORMATION
EYS compost turner is designed to mix separated or compost bovine and pig manure and organic waste.
Manure should be mixed frequently with the machine to complete maturation over time. This process
will also decrease moisture of material. Compost turner is driven by tractor power take-off. Control of
pistons, nozzle system, rotation of drum etc. are carried out from tractor.
When the machine is running (power take-off active), do not turn
tractor or the machine to left/right. Firstly disconnect power take-off
and lift tunnel in parking position. Then manoeuver to left/right.
When rotation monoeuver is completed, lower tunnel and start
machine in working mode and continue operation. If left/right
manoeuver is done when power take-off is active, possible damages
will not be covered by warranty!
In order to make proper piles, the suface must be flat and concrete. Material should be stacked by a
truck, loader etc. before compost turner starts operation. When compost turner goes over stacked
material, it reshapes piles based on it’s dimensions. Piles with 3 meters width are created. In order to
allow passage for tractor, there must be 3 meters distance between each pile.
EYS compost turner is designed to work on a flat and concrete surface.
In order to maximize life time of your machine, make sure the surface
is completely flat and made of concrete.

During a normal operation, nozzle inlet line (1), bottom bypass line (4), top bylass line (5) and pressure
control lever (3) should be open. If pressure control lever (3) is closed, water won’t reach nozzles.
Pressure control lever is currently open in above photo. If it’s rotated 90°then it will be closed.
Additional outlet (6) should only be opened if an additional water source is required. A hose can be
connected to this outlet to clean machine etc.
Gray pump inlet hose (8) is connected between pump and filter. Same hose is also used between filter
and water tank’s outlet.
Nozzle inlet line (1) is already connected before shipment. Both bypass lines and gray hoses should be
connected before first run.
When pressure adjustment screw is rotated clockwise, it closes. When it’s rotated counter-clockwise,
it opens.
Working pressure should be 20-40 Bar under normal working conditions!
WARNING

20/28
Slowly turn piston as shown
in right image and connect
piston and lifting eyes on
tunnel by using pin.
Now connect short and long
shafts. Short shaft will be
connected between gearbox
and tractor link adapter. In
order to connect short shaft,
first remove link adapter by
removing it from chassis. To
do so first remove four
screws which holds bottom
plate of link adapter. Connect
short shaft to gearbox and
then connect other end of
short shaft to link adapter.
Finally install link adapter
back to it’s place and tension
screws. Long shaft will be connected between tractor link adapter and power take-off.
Finally connect hydraulic hoses to tractor. One end of hoses are already connected to hydraulic unit
on compost turner chassis. Then place remote controller in tractor. Lifting/lowering tunnel and axle
will be done by remote controller.
4 PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS BEFORE START-UP
Make sure water tank is full.
Make sure all bearings are greased.
Check all hydraulic connections and hoses against damages.
