What our sensors tell us about

Operation of BCS - Feeding​

When Feeding on the BCS ensure you keep your torso “long and strong” with your elbows tucked and feet apart.


This will give you a comfortable base to move from and remember to always feed mail directly in front of you keeping the mail tub to your side to minimise leaning.​
