About your Haygain® HG-2000 hay steamer

About your Haygain®HG-2000 hay steamer

Congratulations on purchasing your Haygain®HG-2000 hay steamer!

Mould growth can affect all types of hay and haylage. Moulds produce respirable dust that

when inhaled can cause respiratory allergies. These conditions compromise the ability of your

horse to breathe properly. Mould growth also reduces the nutritional quality of the forage.

Your Haygain®hay steamer is the only system scientifically proven to kill mould spores and

bacteria in forage, and remove the potentially allergenic respirable dust. Steamed hay helps to

protect your horse from harmful dust and microorganisms, which allows your horse to perform

to the best of its ability. Your horse will also love the improved taste of steamed forage.

Here at Haygain®we are committed to improving the health and well-being of your horse. To

see other ways that we can help you and your horse, visit www.haygain.com

Safety

General safety

Use your Haygain®hay steamer in a safe place

Set up your Haygain®hay steamer in a location that meets the

specifications on page 6.

Hot steam and temperatures can cause burns

When the steam generator is switched on, it produces hot steam that

comes out of it and the hay chest. Before you open the cap of the steam

generator, allow it to cool down.

Areas of the hay chest, for example the manifold spikes, can get very hot.

Take care when you steam forage and unload it.

Handle with care

Take care not to damage your Haygain®hay steamer. Do not use sharp

objects, for example hay forks, inside the hay chest.

If any part of your Haygain®hay steamer is damaged, including the steam

hose, electrical cable or thermometer, do not use it. Contact us for help.

Keep children and animals safe

Keep children and animals away from your Haygain®hay steamer.

Maintain your Haygain®hay steamer

Follow the maintenance instructions in this user manual. If you do not

maintain your Haygain®hay steamer, it may stop working or become

dangerous. Use only genuine Haygain®spare parts and approved

accessories.

Electrical safety

Electrical equipment can be dangerous

Ensure your electrical setup meets the specifications for the steam

generator. If you have any questions about your electrical setup, contact a

qualified electrician.

Electrical specifications

The steam generator is an electrical device. Before you use the steam generator, check there

is no damage to the plug, cable, and cable restraint.

Safety

Ensure your electrical circuit meets the following specifications for the steam generators:

2 different sockets on different 2750 W power circuits

50/60 Hz

220-240 V

The steam generators must be earthed.

The plugs, cables, cable restraints and power outlets are not damaged.

The plugs and cables are clean and dry when you plug them into the power outlets.

We recommend you plug the steam generator into a power outlet that is RCD (residual-current

device) protected.

Extension cables

We advise not to use extension cables as a permanent electrical supply. If you plug a steam

generator into an extension cable, ensure the cable meets the electrical specifications on

page 8.

Extension cables can be an electrical hazard

Ensure extension cables meet the required electrical specifications and

are not damaged. To prevent the extension cable from overheating, fully

unwind it when the steam generator is switched on.

Wall timers

To switch on or off the steam generator at a certain time, you can use a wall timer.

If you plug the steam generator into a wall timer, ensure the wall timer meets the electrical

specifications on page 8. Ensure the steam generator is securely fitted into the wall timer and

the wall timer is securely fitted into the power outlet.

Using your Haygain®hay steamer

Read the safety chapter

Before you use your Haygain®hay steamer, read the Safety chapter in this

user manual.

After you set up your Haygain®hay steamer and make sure it is safe, you can start steaming

forage. You can feed steamed forage to your horse immediately or ideally up to 24 hours after

steaming.

To steam forage, complete the following tasks in this chapter:

1. Fill the steam generators with water.

2. Load forage in the hay chest.

3. Steam forage in the hay chest.

4. Unload forage from the hay chest.

If you are working in freezing conditions, see page 13.

Filling the steam generator with water

Before you can start steaming forage, you need to fill the steam generator with water.

To fill the steam generator with water

Warning: Do not open the cap on the steam generator when the steam generator is

hot. Ensure the steam generator has cooled down.

Unscrew the cap on the steam generator.

To ensure the steam generator is empty, hold it by the handle and tilt it. Empty the

water through the filler spout into a drain or container.

Place the funnel in the filler spout.

Carefully pour up to 8 litres of clean tap water into the steam generator. If you are only

steaming one bale, we recommend you use 6 litres of clean tap water.

Warning: Take care not to overfill the steam generator with water. Never add

anti-freeze or other additives to the water.
