Safety:
Talon® Safety:
 The Talon® comes preassembled, tested, and ready for use. Care must be taken to properly install the Talon®
according to the instructions for Poultry Hawk® mounting or wall mounting.
 Use only in a well-ventilated area. When used correctly, the Talon’s® exhaust CO2 gas poses no threat to
operator or poultry. Concentrated or prolonged exposure to significant levels of CO2 may cause dizziness,
headaches, confusion and potentially death.
 Do not mount your Talon® or store extra CO2 bottles in small confined areas, e.g. your poultry house service
room.
 Use only 20 lb. CO2 (carbon dioxide) bottles. Use of other gases may be harmful or fatal to the operator.
Check each bottle label to be sure it indicates CO2.
 Stand clear until Talon® cycle is complete.
 Use only Talon® buckets with the Talon® system. Other non-Talon® buckets are not approved.
 The operator is responsible for confirming the death of each bird before discarding.
Carbon Dioxide Storage Safety:
1. CO2 bottles should always be stored in a specified area. The storage area should:
a. Be well ventilated.
b. Be selected away from the edge of any elevated areas.
c. Be selected away from or protected from areas of high traffic.
d. Be dry and free of a corrosive atmosphere.
e. Have adequate means to secure all bottles stored in the area. The means of securing should be
sufficient to hold the bottles in place, yet not cause damage to the bottles.
f. Be a continuously cool place. Do not store bottles adjacent to any source of heat, intermittent or
continuous. Safety relief devices of CO2 bottles are designed to operate when the pressure of the
bottle exceeds 2800 – 3000 psi (depending on the design of the safety relief device). A properly
charged CO2 bottle could vent through its safety relief device at approximately 150 o F (65.6 o C). A
slightly overfilled CO2 bottle could vent through its safety relief device when exposed to a much
lower temperature. The CGA recommends that CO2 bottle be stored in areas with a temperature less
than 125 o F (51.7 o C).
2. Never store a charged CO2 bottle in a passenger vehicle or in the cab portion of any vehicle.
3. Empty CO2 bottles should be stored with the valve tightly closed.
4. Bottles can be stored standing on their base or lying on their side.

Safety cont.
5. Bottles should not be stored where they might become part of an electrical circuit.
6. Bottles, which have been manufactured to accommodate a valve protective carrying handle or a protective
cap, should be stored with these accessories in place.

Talon® setup:
1. Install the pressure regulator onto the CO2 bottle using a crescent wrench. Be careful not to cross thread the
fitting as this could damage the unit and cause injury. Be sure the regulator’s plastic seal ring is properly
seated.
2. Install the CO2 bottle into the bottle mount as shown. The locking arm should hold the bottle securely
without movement.
3. Plug the Talon® air hose into the CO2 regulator and turn gas on. The optimal operating pressure is 80-110 psi
(550-760 kPa). Note that the Talon® will not operate if the bottle pressure falls below 65 psi (345 kPa)
4. Plug the charged battery pack into the docking station at the top of the controller.
5. Turn power ON.
6. Place the Talon® bucket on the bucket holder. Note that the unit will not operate unless the Talon® bucket is
seated properly.
7. The Talon® is now ready for operation.

Operation:
Note: Run at least one test cycle to ensure the Talon® is operating properly before any animal is euthanized.
1. Place bird in bucket chamber. Never put more than one layer of birds in the bucket at a time.
2. Be sure bucket is seated properly in the Talon® bucket holder.
3. Press START. The lid will close, and gas will flow into the bucket chamber for the preselected time. The lid will
remain closed until the cycle is complete, then will raise automatically.
o A timer switch is located inside the control panel. Please note that the unit comes preset to conform
to time requirements.
o The Talon® control system is programmed to displace a minimum of 70% CO2 by a flow meter switch
in the pneumatics manifold.
4. Be aware that involuntary (unconscious) motor activity such as flapping or other movements may occur in
birds during this process. This is a normal involuntary activity following death.
5. Remove the killed birds after every cycle. Do not allow live birds to be placed with killed birds in the bucket
chamber.
6. The Talon® operator is responsible for confirming the bird’s death after each cycle of operation. Refer to the
Poultry Industry Council Euthanasia Manual on how to confirm death.
https://www.poultryindustrycouncil.ca/resources/euthanasia-resources-training-materials/ Note: If the
Talon® faults out and is not able to function, the operator must euthanize the bird using another approved
method.
7. Turn off the gas and power when done operating the Talon®.

Maintenance:
 Ensure gas hoses are securely seated in their fittings. Simply press the hose end firmly into the fitting.
 Inspect gas hoses for nicks and cuts. Replace as needed.
 Inspect a complete cycle to ensure the lid lowers and raises smoothly. Uneven motion may indicate damaged
or worn air cylinder, gas spring, or bearings. Contact your local Talon® dealer for repair parts.
 It is good to always have an extra CO2 bottle close by
 Always have an extra battery to swap out.
 Keep dust build up to a minimal by brushing or blowing off the Talon®.
