ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The Poultry House Wall Cleaner is shipped in two pieces; the pivot frame and the blade as-
sembly. Assembling the Wall Cleaner is accomplished by bolting the two together using a 1” x 5 1/2”
long pivot bolt (and locknut) and a 5/8” x 5 1/2” grade 2 bolt for the blade pivot lock down bolt (with
lockwasher and nut). After aligning the 1” frame hole with the blade adjustment plate hole, insert the
1” pivot bolt and screw on the locknut. Tighten the locknut leaving just enough play to rotate the
blade. Install the 5/8” blade shear bolt and nut, and tighten.
NOTE: ALWAYS USE A 5/8” DIAMETER, GRADE 2 BOLT FOR THE BLADE PIVOT LOCK
DOWN BOLT. THIS BOLT LOCKS THE BLADE IN PLACE ALSO ACTS AS A SHEAR
PIN, SHEARING IF AN IMMOVABLE OBJECT IS ENCOUNTERED.
Secure the hydraulic hoses to the frame with cable ties. Make sure the hoses are routed and
secured in a manner that will keep them from getting into the auger.

ATTACHING TO TRACTOR
The KMC Poultry House Wall Cleaner is designed to be operated with tractors having Cate-
gory I or Category II three-point hitches. One set of tractor hydraulic remotes are also required to op-
erate the cleaner.
Once the tractor has been set, attach the Poultry House Wall Cleaner to the tractor’s lower lift
arms using the provided hitch pins. Attach the tractor top link to the cleaner using an appropriate hitch
pin. Install tractor stabilizing bars to minimize lateral movement of the Wall Cleaner. After installing a
set of hydraulic hose ends for your tractor onto the Wall Cleaner hoses, connect the hoses to one set
of the tractor’s remotes.

6
NOTE: Operation of the POULTRY HOUSE WALL CLEANER places substantial lateral
(sideways) force on the cleaner. Make sure tractor hitch stabilizing bars are
properly installed to minimize lateral movement of the wall cleaner.
DANGER ROTATING AUGER: ALL PERSONS SHOULD STAY CLEAR
OF ROTATING AUGER. BEFORE DISMOUNTING TRACTOR TO
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS, DISENGAGE AUGER DRIVE.
Wall Gauging Tire Adjustment

NOTE: 7” Tire should gauge the machine from the wall or footer before wall cleaner blade
or scraper blade contacts the wall. It may be necessary to move spacer plates to the
opposite side of mount to keep blade or scraper blade from being too close to the
wall. The wheel can also be adjusted up or down as required for a better surface to
witness the wall.

An adjustable rolling wall monitoring tire is mounted on rear right side of the blade. A
plastic wall follower is located at the top to help machine pass around inside wood post and
other obstacles.
Auger Rotation
With the tractor’s 3-point hitch lowered and the Wall Cleaner’s blade on the ground,
adjust the tractor’s top link until the Wall Cleaner’s main frame tube is parallel to the ground.
Raise the blade slightly and operate the auger noting its rotation. The auger should rotate so
as to move material towards the hydraulic motor. If rotation is wrong, change the direction of
the hydraulic remote engagement lever or reverse the hoses at the remote.
Checking Poultry House for Obstructions
While the KMC Poultry House Wall
Cleaner is designed to clean out around inte-
rior posts and other obstacles, the poultry
house should be checked for obstacles that
may hang on the cleaner’s blade. These ob-
stacles may include exposed bolts, nails, wir-
ing conduit, and water lines. One method of
protecting items from the cleaner blade is to
nail a board on both sides of the obstacle.
This allows the sliding blade of the cleaner to
move around the obstacle.

Curb Deflector
A curb deflector is only used when the houses have wide concrete footers. This allow
the machine to push debris away from the footer so the auger can finish carrying it to the cen-
ter of the house to be picked up. It has setscrews located on the arm that allows you adjust to
the front and rear of machine. The capscrews located on the plate is for left and right and up
and down adjustments.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The KMC Poultry House Wall Cleaner is made up of 4 main components: a frame, a
main blade, a rear gauge wheel, and an attached augering system. An optional curb deflec-
tor attaches on the right end of the cleaner for houses with flat curbs coming off the wall.
Please remove this attachment if it is not required in your poultry house. This attach-
ment prevents cake from flipping up on top of the curb as shown on page (4) Figure 1. The
frame supports the other 3 components. The Poultry House Wall Cleaner runs along the wall
moving around interior posts and other objects. Material is moved along the blade to be dis-
charged by the augering system.
A tube bolted to the back side of blade moves through rollers located in a carriage as-
sembly attached to the main frame. The roller mechanism allows the blade 12 inches of
travel from wall. An extension spring provides the force to keep the sliding blade against the
wall.
Although the Wall Cleaner can be used before or after the poultry house is cleaned
with a house cleaner, it is suggested that it be used first if the litter is only 3” to 4” deep. If the
litter is deeper, it is better to clean the walls with the wall cleaner after the house has been
cleaned with the house cleaner.
Operating the Wall Cleaner requires the tractor operator to keep the tractor parallel
with the wall at a distance, from the wall, that allows the sliding blade assembly to operate
within its 12 inches of travel.
The blade depth is set by adjusting the tractor’s lift arms depth control and set the
blade depth to remove the desired amount of material. On tractors that have open-center
hydraulic systems, you may not be able to adjust the depth while the auger is turning. With
these systems, it may take some trial and error to initially get the proper depth set. The Wall
Cleaner blade frame must be ran level from left to right and front to rear in the operating posi-
tion. Wrenchless depth adjustment can be make by moving rear 6 x 12 gauge wheel to de-
sired depth.

Operating Speed
Slide Blade Return Force
The auger rotational speed should be set to keep material sufficiently cleaned out from
in front of the blade. The auger speed is adjusted by varying the tractor engine RPM or ad-
justing the flow control lever found on some tractors.
The Wall Cleaner should be operated at a ground speed of 3/4 miles per hour or
slower. Ground speed will be dependent on the amount of material being removed and the
auger speed. If the auger is overloaded causing the hydraulic motor turning the auger to stall,
it may be necessary to decrease ground speed.
The Poultry House Wall Cleaner spring adjustment is preset from the manufacturer.
The amount of force used to return and hold the sliding blade against the wall is adjustable by
varying the amount of preload on the return spring. The required amount of preload is de-
pendent on the amount of material being removed and the hardness of the underlying floor.
Ideally, the spring force should be enough to sufficiently and quickly return the slide blade to
the wall after going around an obstacle. Initially, leave all the preload off the spring then ad-
just if necessary. To adjust the spring preload, first loosen the outside 3/8” hex nut. Then with
the proper wrench increase or decrease the tension by adjusting the 3/8” hex nut on the eye
bolt inside of carriage bracket. Once you have established the correct tension lock down the
setting with the outside 3/8” hex nut. (Figure 7)

Cleaning Machine
The environment that the Wall Cleaner is used in can be highly corrosive to steel com-
ponents. Therefore, the Wall Cleaner should be washed off after each use. When washing
the Wall Cleaner with a high pressure washer, do not get water stream too close to the bear-
ings on the Wall Cleaner. Although the bearings are sealed, a stream of high pressure water
placed too close to the bearings may penetrate the bearing seals allowing water to enter, and
ultimately damage, the bearings. It is recommended that the Wall Cleaner be sheltered
when not in use.
Too much build up of material in the tubes and on the rollers of the slide blade carriage
assembly can hinder movement of the sliding blade. These areas should be clean periodi-
cally.
MAINTENANCE
Blade Pivot Lock Bolt Replacement
Scraper Blade Replacement
Wall Follower Slide Replacement
If the blade hangs on an immovable object, the pivot lock bolt will shear allowing the
blade to pivot. To replace the bolt, raise the cleaner, pivot the blade to the original position,
and install a 5/8” x 5 1/2” long GRADE 2 bolt through the blade adjustment plate hole. Install
a lockwasher and nut onto the bolt and tighten securely.
The scraper blade mounts onto the bottom of the main blade with 1/2” x 1 1/4” #3 Reg.
plow bolts, lockwashers, and nuts. Mount the blade with the beveled edge down and to the
rear, flushing the left end of the blade with the discharge end of the main blade.
The Wall Follower Slide is a strip of
polyethylene bolted to the wall following arm
on the side blade. The polyethylene strip
provides a low friction surface to slide along
obstacles in the poultry house. Eventually
the strip will wear out and will have to be re-
placed. To replace the strip, remove the 8
nuts and allen head screws. When reinstall-
ing the strip, make sure the screw heads are
counter-sunk into the polyethylene to prevent
them from hanging on objects in the poultry
house.

LUBRICATION
TRANSPORTATION
STORAGE
SPECIFICATIONS
All bearing used on the Wall Cleaner are sealed and require no lubrication. Do not
lubricate (grease or oil) the tube on the sliding blade. Lubricating this tube will attract material
and cause build up on the tube resulting in improper operation of the slide blade.
When transporting the wall cleaner, be aware that on the right side of the tractor, the
Wall Cleaner blade extends beyond the tractor tires. Care should be taken not to hang the
blade on any objects.
The Poultry House Wall Cleaner should be washed thoroughly. After washing, treating
with a disinfectant is recommended to kill any remaining bacteria. Treat the metal compo-
nents of the machine with a soluble oil to protect from rust and corrosion. One product which
meets these requirements is called “Film Fluid” manufactured by Eureka Chemical Co., San
Francisco, CA. It is sold in some tractor dealerships and farm supply dealers.
