HAZARD AREAS
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
• Emergency stop button is placed on front of control cabinet.
• Lockable main power switch is placed on left side of control cabinet.
Figure 4 FlexiFeed with chained conveyor and safety fence.

HAZARD AREAS
Height of safety fence (according to standard: EN ISO 13857:2008):
• If FlexiFeed is raised with extended leg set, the height of the safety fence must be at least
300 mm higher than the lower frame on the feed table. See gure 4 and 5.
• As an alternative to higher safety fences all distances of at least 850 mm can be raised to a
minimum of 1400 mm.
• Minimum recommended distance from safety fence to conveyor is 600 mm, safety fence
towards the conveyor is always to be a minimum of 2000 mm high.

INSTALLATION
12
INSTALLATION OF EXTENSION LEGS AND SUPPORT RODS
When extended leg sets are used for FlexiFeed, and optionally free standing or integrated feed
table, it is important to assemble the support rods correctly. The legs on the FlexiFeed as well as
the feed table are mounted to the oor, taking the oor material and quality into account. The
support rods are then mounted on the legs.
Figure 6 FlexiFeed with integrated feed
table. If the feed table consists of multiple
sections, the support rods are placed in the
top position.
On the machine itself the legs are mounted in the
lowest position, due to the design of the machine.
On the feed table the support rods are assembled
on the highest position. This takes care of the
loads and stress on the feed table during loading
of bales. Mounting the support rods in the top
position makes it easy to access the underside of
the machine for cleaning and maintenance.
FLEXIFEED VERSIONS
FlexiFeed can be delivered in a range of dierent
versions to suit your installation. It is possible to
have xed sides, or one or two side doors for
loading from the side. The standard length is
240 cm long. A 280 cm version with xed sides is
available.
A version with integrated feed table is also available (shown in gure 6).

CONNECTING
CONTROL CABINET
The control cabinet is factory-tted and assembled in front or on either side of the machine,
according to the order.
Always keep the machine under observation during operation to avoid damage to people or
animals.
All connections must be performed by authorized personnel.
VOLTAGE
FlexiFeed is available in 230V and 400V versions.

DRUM OPENING AND BALE SIZE
There are three selectable drum openings to choose from.
- Minimal drum opening processes the grass more and prolongs operating time.
- The centre drum opening is the factory setting, and is used in most cases.
- Large drum opening for bales with diameter 1,8 m and high capacity.

KNIFE SETUP
TYPES AND PLACEMENT OF KNIVES
FlexiFeed is delivered with a knife drum capable of holding up to 60 knives as standard.
Correct type and placement of knives is important to ensure optimal feeding as well as reliable
operation. The choice is governed by several factors including dry matter content, reliability and
cutting rate.
As a starting point a standard set of 20 standard knives, placed in the pattern as shown on next
page, is recommended for FlexiFeed.
The number of knives can be increased with the intention of increasing
the rotation of the bale and thereby increase the capacity. Increased
number of knives will not necessarily provide better cutting, as the extra
knives will go in the same groove as the knives in the standard setup. If
it is desirable to increase the number of knives, the rear row on every
segment may be lled, for a total of 40 knives, or ll all holes with 60
knives for reduced feeding. This is only examples on possible solutions.
To nd out which setup works best for your conditions, use the standard
setup as a starting point and then adapt the setup to the actual
conditions until desired cutting length is achieved.
Figure 10 Knife for
reduced feeding.
Figure 11
Standard knife

KNIFE SETUP
Flattened view of knife drum with
standard setup with 20 knives.
This setup gives a balanced
rotation of the knife drum. The
scrapers are placed on both
sides of the segment with fewer
knives, as shown on the rst row
on gure 12.
REPLACING KNIVES
The knives are secured with a bolt and a nut that
goes into a keyhole slot in the drum. To replace the
knife, loosen the bolt a little bit, the knife is then
loose and can be pushed up and taken out the wide
part of the keyhole. The nut is held by the geometric
design of the keyhole. Make sure not to loosen too
much, the nut will then fall o and into the drum.
New knives are assembled by placing bolt and nut in
the wide end of the keyhole, push down and secure
the knife by tightening the bolt. Make sure the pin
on the back of the knife is placed in the slot on the
drum.
