1. Carefully place the material onto the automatic feed port.
2. The conveyor belt will draw the material into the cutting chamber. Do not push material with hands or feet.
3. Feed material at a steady rate to avoid overloading the machine. The machine can process 400-800 kg/h (881.8-1763.6 lbs/h).

5.4 Adjusting Cutting Length

Utilize the variable speed gear to achieve desired cutting lengths for different applications.

• Refer to the machine's control panel for speed adjustment settings.
• Adjusting the gear speed will change the rate at which material is fed, thereby influencing the final cut length.

5.5 Observing Operation

Monitor the machine during operation for any unusual noises or vibrations. Ensure the processed material is discharging evenly.

5.6 Shutting Down

1. Stop feeding material into the machine.
2. Allow the machine to run for a few moments to clear any remaining material from the cutting chamber.
3. Turn off the power switch and disconnect the machine from the power supply.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your TXMACHINE Hay Cutter. Always disconnect power before performing maintenance.

6.1 Cleaning

• After each use, clean any accumulated debris from the feed port, cutting chamber, and discharge outlet.
