5.1 Make sure trigger lever (item 42) and trigger con-
tact bushing (item 1) move freely before the
stunner is connected to the air pressure line.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Eye and ear protection must be worn at all times while
operating the AN- 10K1 Pneumatic Stunner.
Note: Always disconnect quick connect socket (item
33) from hose assembly (item 48) when tool is not being
used.
Operating air pressure must be maintained between a
minimum 150 psi (10.3 bar) and a maximum 175 psi
(12.1 bar). Air pressure must never exceed 175 psi.
Installation of a safety valve on the air line will prevent
air pressure from exceeding the maximum pressure.
1Connect air hose.
2Each day, before you begin operation, go through
the following check list:
2.1 Make sure that the compressed air supply is at the
proper pressure and that the lubricator is up to the
full mark.
Note: Keep body parts away from contact bushing
(item 1) when trigger is activated.
2.2 Make sure the tool is working correctly. Use
Jarvis AST--100 Stunner Tester to insure pene-
trating shaft (item 27) is traveling at the proper
speed. As an alternative, the following proce-
dure can be used: Squeeze the trigger lever
(item 42) and displace the contact bushing (item
1) against an unmounted rubber tire. If the tool
malfunctions, remove it from service and report
the problem to your supervisor immediately.
3 Use hanger bracket (item 62) to guide stunner to the
animal’s head.
Note: Operator’s head must be a safe distance away
and on one side of the stunner when the stunner is in
use to avoid any injury from tool’s recoil.
Keep hands away from the trigger contact bushing area
(item 1) when penetrating shaft (item 27) is activated.
4 Squeeze trigger lever (item 42).
5 Position the AN--10K1 stunner directly on the ani-
mal’s head to activate trigger contact bushing (item
1) and release penetrating shaft (item 27) .
6 After penetratingshaft (item 27) isreleased andani-
mal is stunned, remove trigger contact bushing
(item 1) from the animal’s head.
7 Repeat procedure for next animal placed in stun-
ning box.
Note: If penetrating shaft (item 27) does not go back
automatically to its original position after animal is
stunned, the stunner must be fired again without being
in contact with the animal’s head. Point stunner in a
safe direction, away from the animal and people. Si-
multaneously squeeze trigger lever (item 42) and move
trigger firing shaft assembly (item 44) in direction of
main housing (item 13).
8 Disconnect quick connect socket (item 33) from
hose assembly (item 48) after stunning has been
completed.
