in touch with flammable material.
• If it is possible only use the feeding machine in daylight or a good artificial lightning.
• When you start the engine your feet must not rest on the pedal, they have to be placed on the running
board.
• Do not drive on slopes that surpass 15 degrees.
• Be aware that the driving quality of the machine is changed considerable from empty to full tank,
because a filled tank moves up the center of gravity.
• With a full tank pay attention to the fact that the machine can tip over, if you drive too fast in curves,
or on slopes with more than 15 degrees tilt.
• You can achieve pleasant driving by operating the driving pedal with soft movements with the food.
Remember that the driving speed increases proportional with the movement of the driving pedal. This is
valid both forward and backwards.
• When you leave the machine, the ignition key has to be removed from the dashboard.
The ground must not slope more than 15o
1.4. Maintenance
• By visual control the following has to be checked after every fill up:
- That there are no leaks in the hydraulic system at the hoses, the tank and so on.
- That there are no leaks in the fuel system at the hoses, filters, the tank and so on.
- That all bolts and nuts are securely tightened.
- Check that the silencer is dense.
- That the admission of air under the seat and the rotating flywheel are free of wool.
- That there is no wasted engine oil around the filler cap.
- Check the air pressure in the tires once a week.
- That the driving pedal easily goes to center position in slow speed (that the machine stands still, when
you let go of the driving pedal).

3.3. Refuel.
Unscrew the filler cap and refuel with diesel oil.
You can read the amount of fuel by looking down
into the filler cap.
Feeder 900/1200 engines use ordinary diesel oil.
Normally diesel oil is frost-proofed to about – 21° C, but during strong frost, paraffin is made in diesel oil.
To avoid this you can add petroleum after following table:
At temperaturs under -10° C add 10 % petroleum
At temperaturs under -20° C add 25 % petroleum
At temperaturs under -30° C add 40 % petroleum
At temperaturs under -40° C add 55 % petroleum
To be sure of how frost-proofed your diesel oil is, ask your diesel supplier about the specifications of your
diesel oil.
WARNING
Fuel is very flammable. Display great caution, and always refuel in the
open.
Never smoke during refuel.
Never refuel with a hot engine! Wait minimum 10 minutes.
Do not overfill the fuel tank, fuel can expand and ran over.
Make sure that the tank cap is firmly screwed after refueling.
Keep the gasoline on a cool place in a container, which is made for the
purpose.
The gasoline tank and hoses have to be checked often for leaks.
