  4. Place an empty 25 kg feed bag over the feed hose outlet and secure it in place. Feed pressure may dislodge an unsecured bag during dispensing.

  5. Start the engine and turn on the Feed Controller.

  6. Dispense a small amount of feed. Inspect the feed bag for any expelled foreign object.

  7. If no foreign object is found, the obstruction may have been small debris. Confirm feed is dispensing at a normal rate before reinstalling the chain cover.

  8. Reinstall the chain cover.
