HG-ONE User Manual

Operating & Safety Instructionss

careful consideration should be made to health and

safety when locating your haygain, recognising that

this is an electrical appliance that generates hot steam

which can burn, has sharp components and should not be

accessible to children.

HAYGAIN®Hay Steamers Model: HG-ONE + JB Steam Generator User Manual - Operating & Safety Instructions

English - 4 English - 5

use extreme caution when opening the hay container and

removing the hay. temperatures inside it can reach in excess

of 100oc – steam can burn.

4.2 Loading the Hay Container:

The HAYGAIN HG-ONE will steam up to 8kgs of loose hay / one large hay

net. For best results pack the Steam Container tightly.

Wedges from loose hay should be placed vertically into the Hay Container

parallel to the sides. For hay nets, take two or three segments from a bale,

load into a hay net and then align them in the Hay Container in the same way.

Place the hay onto the Steam Manifold and push down firmly so the Manifold

Spikes pierce the hay to their full length. Failure to do so will result in

inconsistent performance. You can also top dress the hay with water by

pouring 1-2 litres on top of the hay which will make the hay wetter and help

the process. Replace Lid and push down firmly to seal.

4.3 Switching on:

Plug the Steam Generator into a suitable power outlet. Switch the Steam

Generator ‘on’ by turning the Rotary Switch on rear of the Steam Generator

to the STEAM position (3 o’clock position).

4.4 Steam cycle:

Switch on for 60 minutes until the lid Thermometer needle has reached

or is beyond the green band (refer to diagram (i) in Appendix) indicated

around 80oCentigrade (corresponding to 100oC in the hay). It is not

unusual for the Thermometer to read over 90°C, but it is important the

Steam Generator is switched on for the full 60 minutes.

Timings are based on a hay load of up to 8kgs. (How the hay is packed into

the Hay Container will determine the weight of hay you can fit in).

Upon completion of the steam cycle, switch off the Steam Generator by

turning the Rotary Switch on the Steam Generator to the ‘off’ position and

disconnect the power supply.

The water in the Steam Generator will take 10-15 minutes

to produce steam depending on the water temperature,

ambient temperature and also the efficiency of your

electrical supply.

Note

Filler Pipe - empty excess

water before use.

Do not overtighten Filler

Cap. Never unscrew

when machine is

working. Always leave

to cool before opening.

Figure 2: Filling the Steam Generator

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Filling the Steam Generator with water:

Remove the Filler Cap on the Steam Generator and fill with 3.5 litres of clean

tap water using the Funnel provided (taking care not to spill water on the

Steam Generator or overfill).

Check the water level with the measuring Dipstick provided. Ensure there are

no foreign materials such as bits of hay/straw/shavings in the water as this

can cause a blockage in the Steam Hose and result in damage to the unit.

Use only tap water. The use of antifreeze or other additives will

seriously damage your Steam Generator, voiding the warranty and could

be dangerous for you and your horse’s health.

do not pour cold water on to a hot element as this may cause

it to fail prematurely.

Nutritionalists and Vets recommend introducing any

dietary changes slowly. Mixing HAYGAIN steamed hay

with your existing forage for a few days will allow your

horse’s digestive system to adapt.

Note

HAYGAIN®Hay Steamers Model: HG-ONE + JB Steam Generator User Manual - Operating & Safety Instructions

English - 6 English - 7

the use of underrated or wound up extension leads is

dangerous and a fire hazard.

3) The Steam Hose is blocked, kinked, restricted or frozen (see ‘Using

HAYGAIN in freezing conditions’, point 8.2).

5. Important Electrical Considerations

5.1 Electrical specification:

JB Steam Generator: 3.5 Litre water capacity | 1500W | 50/60Hz~ | 230 Volt

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

5.2 Plug sockets:

Ensure the electrical circuit is sufficiently rated to accommodate the above

specification of the Steam Generator either for its sole use or use with other

appliances that may draw similar wattage on the same electrical circuit.

Ensure that neither the Steam Generator nor the Hay Container are directly

located under a wall mounted socket as the steam could cause damage to it.

It is recommended that all sockets are RCD protected.

5.3 Extension cables:

Correctly rated extension leads should only be used as a temporary measure.

We do not recommend that extension leads are used as a permanent

method of power supply.

Before using an extension lead check that it is correctly rated (see above

‘Electrical specification’, point 5.1) and not damaged in any way. Only use an

extension lead when it is fully unwound.

If you are unsure consult a qualified Electrician.

5.4 Wall Timers:

Wall timers should only be used if they are correctly rated and suitable

for the environment in which you are using your HAYGAIN (see ‘Electrical

specification’, point 5.1).

Wall timers should be regularly inspected to ensure they are securely fitted

into the wall socket and the Steam Generator plug is firmly fitted into the wall

timer. Do not use if the wall timer feels ‘loose’ or is damaged.

If you are unsure consult a qualified Electrician.

When opening the Hay Container, open the Lid by lifting it off and back

towards you, with the Thermometer facing towards you - DO NOT

LEAN OVER THE HAY CONTAINER immediately after opening. If feeding

straight after steaming, the hay in the Hay Container will be extremely hot; use

extreme caution and wear gloves to remove and handle the hay. Distribute

the hay as required. Steamed hay will cool rapidly and should ideally be fed

within 24 hours of steaming. If steaming hay nets, the hay in the centre of the

net will remain hot for quite some time as the hay around it insulates it.

4.5 Empty Steam Generator after use: (See instruction in ‘Care and

Maintenance’, section 7)

Your Steam Generator should be emptied after use and regularly rinsed.

Failure to do so will cause a build up of lime scale and sediment. This can

cause blockages to the Manifold Spikes, Hoses, Filler Cap and Heating

Element resulting in poor performance.

Neglecting to care for your Steam Generator will invalidate your guarantee.

Periodic use of a HAYGAIN descaling product is recommended.

4.6 Safety Filler Cap:

Your Steam Generator is fitted with a Safety Filler Cap. In some circumstances

steam or water can be released from the Cap. In the event that this occurs

turn off immediately to ensure no damage is caused to the Steam Generator or

Steam Hose. DO NOT REMOVE THE FILLER CAP – WAIT FOR MACHINE

TO COOL DOWN and refer to ‘HAYGAIN Troubleshooting Matrix’, section 8.

The potential causes of this are:

1) The Steam Generator has been overfilled.

2) The Steam Generator needs rinsing out and descaling to remove

build up of sediment or scale.

Some hay nets may shrink over time due to the high

temperatures. HAYGAIN Ltd supply hay nets designed to

withstand these temperatures.

Note

metal components (hooks, rings and clasps) on hay

nets will be very hot immediately after steam cycle.

use extreme caution when handling.

‘Operating Instructions’ cont’d

HAYGAIN®Hay Steamers Model: HG-ONE + JB Steam Generator User Manual - Operating & Safety Instructions

English - 8 English - 9

The Hay Container is manufactured from high

performance materials which are designed to flex with

changing temperatures; this allows steam to emit from the

Hay Container prior to the completion of the steam cycle.

Note

>Use only genuine HAYGAIN spare parts and approved accessories.

>The manufacturer, an approved service agent or a competent person

should only carry out servicing.

NEVER:

>Overfill the Steam Generator - use the Measuring Dipstick provided.

>Remove or unscrew the Safety Filler Cap when steaming or when

Steam Generator is hot.

>Detach the Steam Hose when steaming or when Steam Generator

is hot.

>Over tighten the Filler Cap. Doing this can damage the rubber seal

which will then require replacement.

>Use under rated extension cables as this is dangerous.

>Tilt or carry the Steam Generator when in use or when containing

hot water.

>Unplug the Steam Generator by pulling the electrical cord. Always

switch ‘off’ at the socket and pull the plug out of the socket by

gripping the plug itself.

>Allow people, children or animals to get inside the Hay Container.

>Touch the Brass Connector fittings when in use or hot.

>Never pour cold water on to a hot element. Allow to cool before refilling.

6. Operating Considerations

HAYGAIN Hay Steamers are designed for steaming forage and straw

bedding; they must not be modified in any way.

HAYGAIN Hay Steamers are electrical steam generating appliances and

therefore components may get very hot during operation and could

cause burns.

Your HAYGAIN should be regularly cleaned and maintained to ensure

continued trouble free performance (see ‘Care and Maintenance’, section 7).

Persons using this equipment must be authorised to do so and must be

familiar with the Operating and Safety Instructions. Children and animals

should be kept away from the equipment at all times. Relevant Health and

Safety checks should be carried out.

Where necessary, protective clothing should be worn.

ALWAYS:

>When the equipment is cold, check the Steam Hose is securely attached

to the Steam Generator and the Hay Container before operating.

>Ensure Steam Generator and Hay Container are on level ground

before operating.

>Lift the Hay Container Lid carefully towards you. CAUTION STEAM

CAN BURN.

>Use protective gloves when handling hot steamed hay.

>Disconnect power supply and wait for the Steam Generator to cool

down before re-filling with water. Mop up any water spillage before

connecting to power supply.

>Check power cable and plug before commencing use. Do not use

the Steam Generator if either is damaged. Contact an approved

service agent for repair.

>Regularly check the Steam Hose for damage or distortion. Do not

use the Steam Generator if the Hose is damaged. Spare hoses can

be purchased directly from HAYGAIN Ltd.

>Maintain order in the working area. Disorder increases the risk of

an accident.

>Keep children away from HAYGAIN equipment.

>Disconnect from power supply when not in use.

8) Half fill the Steam Generator with clean water, agitate vigorously then

empty water out. Repeat this process until the water drained is

completely clear.

7.2 Maintaining your Hay Container and surrounding area:

Clean out any loose hay in the base of the Hay Container. Ensure the Steam

Manifold Holes are clear from obstruction, and clear Drain Holes in base after use.

Wash out once a week ensuring the space under the Manifold is cleaned.

When not in use disconnect the Steam Hose from the Hay Container’s Hose

and tilt backwards. This allows any condensation in the Hose to drain through

the Brass Connector on the end of the Hose. During freezing weather this

must be done after each operation to help avoid condensation in the Hose

from freezing, (see ‘Using HAYGAIN in freezing conditions’, point 8.2).

The area surrounding the HAYGAIN should be regularly swept and cleaned to

avoid damp and mouldy conditions.

Keep the Lid Seal and the Base clean and free from loose strands of hay to

ensure a good seal when in use.

When not in use, leave the Hay Container Lid on.

After prolonged periods when the machine is not in use disinfect the interior of

the Hay Container prior to use. Further information on suitable disinfectants

can be sourced from our helpline. Note - not all disinfectants are suitable for

this use and could potentially damage the equipment.

Make sure the Thermometer Probe on the inside of the Hay Container Lid

is not damaged.

The water in the Steam Generator must be allowed

to cool to a temperature which will not cause injury

before emptying.

Note

failure to label your steam generator whilst descaling

or failure to flush tank out after descaling could be a

potential health hazard to your horse.

failure to maintain your steam generator will void its

warranty.

7. Care and Maintenance

7.1 Maintaining your Steam Generator:

Flush with fresh water after every use to avoid the build up of sediment.

Descale regularly to ensure no unnecessary strain is put upon the Heating

Element. Hard water causes scale to form on the Heating Element causing

the Thermostat to operate prematurely causing the cycle to be aborted.

Please contact Haygain on 0333 200 5233 for further instruction.

7.1.1 Cleaning your Steam Generator:

1) Ensure Steam Generator is cold before commencing.

2) Disconnect from the power supply.

3) Disconnect the Steam Hose from the Hay Container.

4) Half fill the Steam Generator with clean water; replace the Filler Cap

and agitate vigorously - this action will suspend some sediment in the

water; immediately remove the Filler Cap and empty the dirty water.

Repeat this procedure until the water is completely clean.

It is recommended the Steam Generator be descaled every 6-12 weeks.

Descaling frequency is dependent on usage and water hardness. Descaling

frequency can be discussed with our Customer Helpline and HAYGAIN

descaler can be purchased by ringing Haygain on 0333 200 5233 or visiting

our website: www.haygain.com.

7.1.2 Descaling your Steam Generator:

1) Before descaling, carry out the above procedure (‘Cleaning your

Steam Generator’) to remove as much loose sediment as possible.

2) Leave Steam Hose disconnected from the Hay Container.

3) Always read Caution Instructions on descaling product and

carefully follow directions.

4) Dissolve descaler in warm water as directed by the manufacturer

ensuring the correct water volume:descaler ratio is followed. Pour the

diluted descaler solution into the Steam Generator, replace Filler Cap

and switch ‘on’ (refer to 4.3 for instructions).

5) When the water starts to boil turn it ‘off’ immediately. Disconnect

power and leave for a minimum of 3 hours. For best results leave to

descale overnight.

6) Clearly label your Steam Generator so no one attempts to use

the unit whilst it contains descaling product.

7) Before flushing descaler from the Steam Generator, agitate vigorously

to suspend any sediment in the water, then empty.

English - 12 English - 13

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 HAYGAIN Troubleshooting Matrix

The steam cycle takes longer than normal.

Probable Cause Solution

Ambient/water and hay temperature

is low, therefore starting temperature

of the hay and water is lower than

normal.

Steam hay for longer than normal ensuring that the

Thermometer reaches at least 80°C (indicated in the

green band but never more than 70 mins - refer to

diagram (i) in Appendix).

Hay load being steamed is heavier

than normal or Hay Container is

inconsistently packed.

The greater the weight of hay that is steamed per

cycle, the longer it takes to reach temperature (like

cooking meat in an oven). Increase steaming time

until Thermometer reaches at least 80°C (indicated in

the green band).

Dressing the top of the hay with up to 2 litres of

water can assist with the conduction of the heat

within the hay and help to reduce the steaming time.

Element is scaled up reducing its

efficiency. Flush out the Steam Generator and descale (see

point 7.1.2).

Electricity voltage may be lower than

normal. This can happen in the winter

when demand is high and also if you

are running kettles, washing machines

and heaters at the same time.

Check you have sufficient power supply to run all

the equipment in your yard - if in doubt consult a

qualified Electrician. If the supply is sufficient but the

voltage is low then you will need to steam for longer.

Note - The use of hot water in your Steam Generator will help to speed the warm up

time which will assist in reducing the steam cycle time.

Hay is not steaming properly / steam is not coming from all Manifold Spikes.

Probable Cause Solution

Hay load is very dense/heavy or the

hay is very loosely packed. It may be necessary to steam the hay for longer.

Dressing the top of the hay with up to 2 litres of

water can assist with the conduction of the heat

within the hay and help to reduce the steaming time.

Check the HAYGAIN is on level

ground. If your Hay Container is not on level ground steam

will find the easiest exit and may favour some

Manifold Spikes over others.

warning:your haygain operates at high temperatures

and produces steam which can burn - use extreme

caution. troubleshooting should only be carried out

by a competent person.

7.3 General maintenance:

In addition to mandatory electrical tests, check the condition of the Steam

Generator’s Plug, Cable and Cable Restraint where it enters the unit’s Outer

Case. Ensure all warning labels are legible.

Check the general condition and fit of the Steam Generator’s Safety Filler Cap

and Filler Pipe. Ensure there is no damage or excess corrosion and there is

no hay or chaff in the Safety Filler Cap.

Ensure no Hoses or fittings are damaged and they fit correctly - (see section 3).

7.4 Storing your HAYGAIN when not in use:

The Hay Container should be cleaned appropriately before storing.

The Steam Generator should be emptied and cleaned. The electrical cable

should be coiled up and then the Steam Generator put in a dry location.

If the Steam Generator is not to be used for an extended period it is

recommended the unit be descaled before it is stored away.

When recommencing use, the Steam Generator should be checked to ensure

there has been no damage to the cable from rodents etc. and the plug is

clean, dry and untarnished to enable proper electrical connections. Dirty and

damp plugs are a hazard and must never be used.

The Hay Container should be disinfected before use. Note - not all

disinfectants are suitable for this use and could potentially damage the

equipment. Further information on suitable disinfectants can be sourced

from our helpline.

Steam is escaping from the Safety Filler Cap (cont’d).

Probable Cause Solution

Filler Cap Seal is damaged or missing. Replace Filler Cap Seal with spare that was supplied

with your unit. Ensure the replacement Seal is

located in the base of the Filler Cap under the thread

- (please note Seals are designed to be a very snug

fit and will require the use of a screwdriver to slot

firmly into place).

Replacements can be ordered from your supplier.

Use only genuine HAYGAIN replacement parts.

Blocked or restricted hoses. Check the Steam Generator Hose for kinks and

make sure the Hay Container is not sitting on the

Steam Hose.

Wait for the equipment to cool down. Disconnect

the Steam Generator Hose at both ends and flush

through with water. Re-attach to the Steam Generator

but not to the Hay Container. Turn on the Steam

Generator. If steam no longer comes from the Filler

Cap when steam appears through the Hose, switch

‘off’ and allow to cool. Then re-attach the Hose to Hay

Container and turn ‘on’ again. If steam still comes from

Filler Cap it is likely that your Steam Generator Hose

needs cutting down or replacing. Contact your supplier.

If replacing the Filler Cap Seal and cutting down/

replacing the Steam Hose does not resolve the

problem, the hose within the Hay Container will need to

be replaced. Contact your supplier.

Please note - Hoses will deteriorate over a period of time and may need to be replaced.

Failing to drain hoses of condensation on a regular basis and allowing hoses to freeze

with condensation in them will shorten the life span of hoses.

Hoses or Manifold are frozen. Sub zero temperatures can cause condensation

in the hoses and Manifold to freeze. Follow

procedures in ‘Using HAYGAIN in freezing

conditions’, point 8.2.

Steam is emitted from the side or base of the Hay Container.

Probable Cause Solution

HAYGAIN is reaching the end of its

steam cycle. It is normal for steam to be emitted from the sides or

drain hole of your Hay Container when it is nearing

the end of the steam cycle.

Ensure the Hay Container is located

on flat ground. If your Hay Container is located on uneven ground it

can flex and twist as it warms up which will enable

steam to escape between the Lid and the Base.

Re-locate the Hay Container to flat ground.

Hay is obstructing the Lid Seal. Avoid hay sticking out of the unit and clear any

debris.

Hay is not steaming properly / steam is not coming from all Manifold Spikes (cont’d).

Probable Cause Solution

Hose from the Steam Generator to

the Hay Container is restricted or has

deteriorated.

Hoses will deteriorate over a period of time and

may need to be replaced. Failing to drain hoses of

condensation on a regular basis and allowing hoses

to freeze with condensation in them will shorten the

life span of the hoses.

Replacement hoses can be ordered directly from

your supplier.

Manifold has a build up of

condensation/water which is

restricting even steam flow.

Disconnect the Steam Hose from the Container’s

Hose and tilt the Container backwards. This allows

any condensation in the Hose to drain through the

Brass Connector on the end of the Hose.

The Steam Generator trips the circuit breaker or RCD.

Probable Cause Solution

Power supply is not sufficient for total

demand of appliances being used. Switch off items such as kettles and heaters and

check the supply is sufficient for the appliances that

are being run from the circuit.

If in doubt consult a qualified Electrician.

Steam Generator has been allowed to

get damp. The Steam Generator should always be kept in a

warm dry environment. Allow the Steam Generator

to dry out for 24hrs and try again. (Also see ‘Using

HAYGAIN in freezing conditions’, point 8.2).

Note - If problem persists contact your supplier.

Steam is escaping from the Safety Filler Cap.

Probable Cause Solution

Steam Generator has been over filled. Wait for the equipment to cool down. Check that

your Steam Generator has not been over filled. Over

filling can result in water and steam being forced out

of the Safety Filler Cap and may also result in other

damage.

Sediment, limescale or hay trapped in

Safety Filler Cap. Wash the inside of the Filler Cap and remove any

impurities. Ensure you locate the Filler Cap Seal

correctly and that no hay or straw is to be found

inside the Cap as this can obstruct the Pressure

Release Valve.

If the Filler Cap Seal is damaged, replace it (see

Solution below). If the Filler Cap has a build up of

scale and sediment in it, this indicates that the Steam

Generator is not being flushed or descaled regularly

(refer to point 7.1).

- The warranty does not cover misuse or preventable damage.

never use additives, like anti freeze, with the water in

your steam generator. it can cause serious problems

and will void your warranty.

8.2 Using HAYGAIN in freezing conditions:

When your HAYGAIN is not in use, your Steam Generator should always be

empty and kept in a sheltered and warm (above freezing) environment.

If you are concerned there is frozen water in your Steam Generator you must

allow it to defrost thoroughly before switching on. Failure to do so will

cause damage which will not be covered under warranty.

Before use, ensure your Hay Container, Internal Hose and Manifold are not

frozen. If you suspect any of these components are frozen, use an adequate

amount of hot water to pour over the Hose and Manifold. Squeeze the rubber

Hose in the Hay Container as this should break up any ice in the pipe work.

8.2.1 When starting up in extreme temperatures:

Turn on the Steam Generator without connecting it to the Hay Container to

ensure the Steam Hose is clear and ice-free. If the Hose is not clear (i.e.

steam is coming from the Filler Cap), immediately turn the machine ‘off’.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UNSCREW THE FILLER CAP but immerse the

Steam Hose in hot water and squeeze it to clear the frozen water. Try again.

Connect the Steam Hose to the Hay Container. CAUTION - fittings will be

extremely hot. DO NOT PUT HAY IN THE HAY CONTAINER. Check that

steam/condensation is coming through the hoses and Manifold Spikes.

If not, immediately switch ‘off’. DO NOT UNSCREW FILLER CAP and

defrost the Hay Container using hot water.

After use, disconnect the Steam Hose from the Hay Container and tip it

backwards to drain any condensation that is in the Manifold or pipe work.

You can use normal pipe insulation on the Steam Hoses to both protect

them from freezing and make them thermally more efficient. The use of

pipe insulation can be discussed with our Customer Helpline by calling

HAYGAIN: 0333 200 5233.

If there is still a problem, please contact your dealer.
