-If you spill fuel do not try to start the engine, but remove the machine from
the spot, where the fuel was spilled, in order to avoid setting fire to the
fuel. If you spill fuel on the exhaust or out on the engine, then wait until the
fuel is evaporated, or else a fire could arise.
-If you get diesel or engine oil on your skin, wash your skin carefully with
soap.
-Inhalation of fuel mists or oil mists are insanitary.
-Consuming fuel or oil is dangerous.
3.3 Daily control

4. Operation
Do not let the engine run in small closed rooms, where a dangerous
carbon monoxide can be accumulated.
Warning: Inhalation of carbon monoxide can cause poisoning and
possible death.
Do not use the machine in places with flammable dust or explosive gases
or where the exhaust gets in contact with ignitable material.
Use as far as possible only the machine in daylight or in good artificial
lighting.
When you start the engine, you
must not rest the feet on the
pedals, they have to be placed on
the running board.
Notice that the driving ability of
the machine is changed a lot from
an empty to a filled feeding
container, because the centre of
gravity is moved highly up at a
filled container.
When you drive with a filled
container pay attention to the fact that the machine can overturn, if you
drive with high speed in a curve or on slopes with more than 15 degrees
tilt
You obtain pleasant driving if you operate the running pedal with smooth
movement of the foot. Remember that the operating speed increases
proportional to the press on the running pedal. It goes both forward and
backward.
When you leave the machine you have to remove the ignition key from the
dash board.

4.2 Engine operation
The engine operation and the ignition key are mounted on the dash board
in the right side. The operation contains light indicator, preheater and hour
meter. When the engine runs the operation supervises the condition of the
engine. If the engine is overheated or there is a lack of oil pressure the
engine stops automatically.
Afterwards it informs you about the fault through the light indicators.
Start of the engine (Preheater):
If you start a cold diesel engine it has to be preheated. Turn the key
against right to position 1. The lamp ”preheater” lights 15 seconds, at the
same time the engine is preheated. When the lamp switches off you turn
the key to position 2 and the engine starts. When the engine runs you let
go of the key.
If you start a warm engine the lamp “preheater” does not light, and the
engine can start at once.
Hour meter:
The hour meter tells you how many hours the machine has operated. The
hour meter is activated when you start the engine.

Status:
The status lamp shows the condition of the engine. If it lights green the oil
pressure, the temperature and the generator are ok. No light indicates that
the engine properly has been stopped by the control unit in order to
protect the engine. So the missing green light means error, and one of the
other lamps will light red in order to indicate the cause.
Charging lamp:
The charging lamp indicates the function of the generator. The lamp lights
red, if the generator does not load correctly on the battery.
In this case check the generator of the machine.
Oil lamp:
The lamp indicates the lubricating oil pressure of the engine. If the lamp
lights red the oil pressure is not high enough, this can damage the engine.
In this case the control unit will stop the engine in order to protect it. The
status lamp switches off and the oil lamp lights in order to indicate the
cause.
Temperature:
The lamp indicates the temperature of the engine. If the lamp lights red the
cooling water temperature is too high, this can damage the engine. In this
case the control unit will stop the engine in order to protect it. The status
lamp switches off and the temperature lamp lights in order to indicate the
cause.
Zero position of protection stop:
If the engine has been stopped by the control unit, the cause is shown via
the control lamps. When the cause of the error is traced and repaired, you
turn the key left to position 0. Wait 10 seconds and turn the key to position
1. The control unit tests the system and lights shortly with all the lamps.
The engine is ready for a start.

4.3 Tumbler switches.
On the tumbler switches placed on the dash board you can change
between the different functions of the feeding pump.
Reverse:
On the reverse button there is a possibility
of running backwards with the feeding
pump. Activate the reverse function by
pressing the white spot, and then press the
feeding pedal in order to make the pump
running.
Water:
Activation of the water pump. When you
press the white spot of the tumbler switch you turn on the water dosing,
so that the feed is supplied with an adjustable amount of water.
MAN/AUTO.
On the button you can change between manual and automatic feeding. At
automatic operation you activate the feeding pump when you press the
feeding pedal, and the feeding pump steers the amount of feed and the
interval between the lumps.
(Feeding computer is extra equipment).
At manual running the operator steers the feeding amount manual by
activating the feeding pedal.

4.4 Feeding computer (extra equipment)
The feeding computer secures a homogeneous
draining of feed. The computer steers the lump
amount and the interval they have to come in.
The operator can adjust the interval time so that
it fits exactly to the operator`s working speed.
For further information see the Users manual for
Twinca Easy.
4.5 Throttle hand lever.
The throttle hand lever is mounted on
the left side on the dash board. The
turns on the diesel engine increases
when you pull the throttle hand lever
against yourself. If the hand lever
cannot stay in the chosen position,
you tighten the center nut a little, so
that the friction in the turning function
is increased.

4.6 Regulation of feed amount and water.
With the water regulation you can decide the amount of water that is
mixed into the feed, when the feeding pump is
activated.
The feeding pump regulator adjusts the orbital
velocity for the feeding pump, so that there can
come more or less feed in a certain period.
Indication for adjustment you find over the
regulators.
4.7 Main switch.
The main switch is placed on the left side of the
feeding machine. It switches off all power from the
battery and the rest of the electric supply mains.
4.8 Driving pedal.
The driving pedal is placed to the left on the
machine. Notice that the pedal has to be activated
softly, because the speed of the machine is
proportional to the deflection on the pedal. And the
driving will be more pleasant, when you operate the
pedal with smooth movements. For adjustment
of the pedal see the section “adjustment of driving
comfort”.
Important: At very low temperatures the braking distance can be
longer until the oil is getting warm.

5. Water tank and water filling up
In front of the machine you find the water tank. The tank makes it possible
to bring along water, and mix it currently in the feed, so that the correct
consistence is obtained.
The filler neck to the water tank is placed on the top
edge of the water tank in front of the feed tank.
Dismount the tank cap by turning anticlockwise.
At the front of the feed tank you
find the water gauge for the
water tank. The indicator is made so that it is easy to
change if there is dirt inside.
You read the water level of the tank in liters at the
belonging scale.
5.1 Water emptying, cleaning –dosing pump
In order to lighten the cleaning and emptying
of the tank you can tip the feed tank, so that
the water runs out of the filler neck. Is the
tank tipped you can dismount the cover in
the bottom of the tank, it makes cleaning
easier.
6. Adjustment of driving
comfort
The dosing pump, which presses the water
out into the feeding pump, is placed under
the dash board in the left side of the
machine. The pump only runs when you
activate the water on the tumbler switch and
the feeding pedal.
