About the Manual
This manual provides instructions regarding the operation, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of RoboPusher Nimbo. People who operate, install, commission, maintain, and repair this product must read and understand the content of this manual and follow the safety instructions. The English language manual is the original manual. Refer to its cover for the version and translation information.

Product Introduction

Application
RoboPusher Nimbo provides automatic feed pushing and is applicable to all modern farms.

Overview
By providing automatic feed pushing, this product can reduce the labor costs and increase the feed intake, which improves the milk or meat production and maximizes the benefits for farms. The robot pushes the feed into the feeding alley by rotating the drum. The computer vision technology enables the robot to control its moving direction and operate more flexibly. As long as the road conditions are ideal without any obstacle, the robot will automatically execute feed pushing tasks at set times and adjust its heading flexibly. After finishing the tasks, it automatically returns to the charging pile along the preset path. You can remotely control the robot and manage feed pushing tasks at any time on the Website.

Installation and Commissioning

Deployment of Travel Routes

• Setup of travel routes may be performed by engineers of your local dealer. After design drawings of your farm feeding alley are provided, engineers will deploy the travel routes, including visual navigation routes and magnetic nail navigation routes. You may do this on your own in accordance with instructions and tutorials.
• The charging pile is usually installed near the entrance of a barn to avoid interfering with other work done in the barn.
• The travel routes start with the charging pile. Keep clean every travel route, especially left and right quarter turns and Tinte sections. Ensure that magnetic nails are intact and embedded in the ground. Prevent damage to or loss of magnetic nails.

Installation of Charging Pile

1. Install the charger and the telescopic electrode mechanism in a dry and ventilated place, sheltered from rain.
2. Connect the charger to the telescopic electrode mechanism via circular connectors and Anderson connectors.
3. Use expansion bolts to fix the charging pile bracket on the ground.

Commissioning
Plan the travel routes of the robot on the Website. When the charging threshold is reached, the robot will return to the charging pile for charging.

Note
The installation and commissioning must be performed by authorized technicians.

Loading and Unloading
Use the hoisting eye to hoist the robot during loading and uploading.

Maintenance

Preventive maintenance schedule:

If maintenance cannot be performed on your own, contact your local dealer.

Transportation and Storage

• Disconnect the robot from the power supply before transportation or storage.
• Handle the robot with care during transportation to prevent damage.
• Avoid collision and squeezing during transportation.
• Store the robot in a dry and ventilated environment at a temperature of 25±3℃ and a humidity of 65± 20%. Avoid direct sunlight.
• Keep the robot away from flammables, explosives, and metal objects.
• Use the hoisting eye to hoist the robot during loading and unloading.
• If the robot will not be used for a long time, ensure that its battery level is around 50% before storage and charge it every two months to avoid failure caused by over-discharge.
