Safety Alert Symbols
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a potential
hazard to personal safety involved and extra safety precaution must be
taken. When you see this symbol, be alert and carefully read the message
that follows it. In addition to design and conguration of equipment, hazard
control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Owner/operator can prevent, and may be responsible for, accidents
or injuries occurring to other people, themselves, and/or property and
equipment.
Thoroughly read and understand the operation, references and other
material supplied with the Roping Chute. If the installer or operator
cannot read English, it is the owner’s responsibility to explain this
material to them.
We strongly recommend that children are not allowed to operate or
play on this equipment. Do not allow untrained people to operate
or service equipment.
Caution
Be familiar with equine activities and handling livestock prior to
use of this equipment. Working with livestock carries inherent risk of
injury or death.
Roping Chute and Equine Safety
Due to the inherent dangers associated with equestrian activities,
many states have adopted statutes pertaining to the liabilities of horse
owners, handlers, and individuals involved in equestrian activities.
Some states also require that you post signs at your facility with the
specic “Warning Law” on them, for personal and/or professional
equine activities. Posting these warning signs may help protect you
and/or your organization in the event an accident or injury does occur.
Please check the legal statute information in your state2.
Horses can be easily spooked and this is when injuries may occur.
One in three horse-related injuries happen when the rider/handler is
dismounted. These injuries typically involve the handler being kicked or
stepped on by the horse. Making sure all equine handlers are aware
of the dangers posed by frightened horses and what actions can scare
them can help prevent injuries. Some examples of things that can spook
a horse include, sudden or unexpected movements; loud or sudden
noises such as mobile phones or horns; other animals (i.e. unleashed
and/or barking dogs) and biting or stinging insects.
Priefert advises that individuals using this roping chute
have knowledge of equine activities, horse riding skills,
and, prior experience and training with cattle roping.
Installation / Operation Safety
• Read and understand the operation instructions completely before
using this equipment. Locate equipment in a dry, level area.
• Make sure any individuals operating this equipment understand the
instructions as well.
• Priefert also recommends wearing personal protective clothing while
setting-up this roping chute, including gloves and safety glasses, as
well as, arm, leg, head and foot protection.
• Allow only trained, qualied individuals to operate forklifts, tractors,
loaders or other vehicles used during installations; and that those
individuals are familiar with the operation of the specic vehicle used
during installations.
• Operate equipment only during fair weather conditions.
• Disconnect electric and/or pneumatic connections before performing
any service or repairs to the equipment. Remove all tools used during
installation from equipment before operation.
Safe Operation Guidelines
• Use caution introducing livestock into the steer chute due to the
inherent danger associated with livestock.
• Do not let children play in or on roping chute or its components.
• Do not allow children to operate roping chute or its components.
• Do not stick arms or legs through the chute rails anytime, especially
when a steer is loaded.
• Make sure all guests or observers are clear of moving components
prior to chute operation.
• Be cautious to prevent being conned between alleys while livestock
is present. Be cautious to prevent being caught between calves and
chute gates.
• Be sure that horses used in roping activities are accustomed to the
actions of the roping chute, and handlers are familiar with equine
behavior.
• Wearing proper clothing can help prevent injuries.
• Always take into consideration the age, physical condition and
specic characteristics of calves used to prevent exceeding their

OPMAN-RC22AI_v1a-0523iv
Precautionary Measures
The following are precautionary measures that are recommended to
anyone when working with livestock.
Be alert. It is impossible to fully know or predict an animals actions. Always
be aware of what is happening around you. This is particularly important
when handling livestock at sunrise and sunset when livestock are most
active.
Keep animals together. Livestock will be more calm and cooperative
when in groups. When alone, they quickly become agitated and frightened
making them dangerous and dicult to handle.
Carefully approach animals. Because of the placement of their eyes,
cattle have approximately a 270 degree range of vision. Despite their
range of vision, cattle have poor depth perception, and are unable to see
behind them. To reduce risk, always announce yourself when approaching
an animal.
Leave yourself an out. Never enter small enclosed areas with livestock.
If unavoidable, always be sure there is always a fast and easy method of
escape.
Avoid quick movements and loud noises. Livestock can startle and
frighten easily. Move slowly and deliberately around livestock. Be careful
not to create excess noise.
Be patient. When working with livestock in a crowding pen, chute, or
squeeze, prodding an animal when it has no place to go is dangerous.
Animals can react quickly and violently.
Respect livestock. Do not fear them. Underestimating an animal’s size,
strength, and speed can result in serious injury. Always consider mature
males to be dangerous. Be aware of animals who are sick, injured, or
otherwise frightened.
Livestock Safety2
One of the most important issues for consideration when handling
livestock is safety. Although considered domesticated animals, working
with livestock carries with it an inherent risk of danger. It is important
to understand that livestock have both instincts and habits, known as
behavior patterns, that are based on actions that make them the most
comfortable. These instincts and habits allow them to react to changes in
their environment.
Many instincts and habits are strong and potentially dangerous. Using
common sense, practicing caution, and understanding livestock behavior
can greatly reduce a handlers risk and enable him or her to work safely
with livestock. The following information details some important livestock
behaviors as well as cautionary tips to practice when handling livestock.
Livestock Behaviors2
• Animals who are used to being around other livestock can become
frightened and agitated when separated, becoming dangerous and
dicult to handle.
• The maternal instinct is also very powerful. Many times these instincts
are not evident in an animal’s behavior until shortly after giving birth. It
is important to recognize these behavior patterns and use appropriate
caution.
• Another behavior pattern that livestock may exhibit is a territorial instinct.
Feed time is when this instinct is most readily observable.
• A valuable behavior is the instinct to follow the leader. Often times, all
that is required is to begin one animal moving and the rest will follow.
• Livestock exhibit the most activity at sunrise and sunset. In contrast,
livestock are the most inactive during night and at midday.
• The ight zone is one of the most important principles regarding
livestock behavior and safe handling. It is an animal’s personal space.
Livestock will react in a variety of ways according to a handlers activities
relative to their ight zone. For example, livestock will face a handler
and maintain a safe distance, when the handler is outside their ight
zone. In contrast, livestock will turn away from a handler who enters
their ight zone. Individual animals will have ight zones of varying size.
Working from the edge of the ight zone will generally keep livestock
calm and manageable.
• The point of balance is another important behavioral principle to
understand. An animal’s point of balance is located at their shoulders.
An animal will move depending on a handlers position relative to
their point of balance. This principle can be used to calmly and easily
encourage livestock through crowding pens, chutes, and squeezes. For
example, when a handler stands behind the animal’s point of balance,
the animal will move forward. When the handler stands in front of an
animals point of balance, the animal will stop or back up. To encourage
an animal forward, simply walk towards the animal, crossing the point of
balance, and it will move forward.
Remember that livestock draw upon past experiences and treatment
when reacting to a situation.

Operating Instructions (RC22M)
Roping Chute Hook-Up
The RC22M Roping Chute can attach to almost any steer alley or panel conguration with standard
chain connections. Lubricate all working parts including tailgate before operating the RC.
Use WD-40 or other light lubricant. Heavier oil collects dust and restricts proper operation.
Frequent lubrication will be necessary until excess paint is worn o working parts.
Note: Be aware of specic locations that should not be lubricated.
These locations are noted with decals stating DO NOT OIL. (Noted on Previous Page)
Roping Chute Operation
All of the RC22M controls are accessible from Header or Healer side.
Familiarize yourself with their operation using the illustrations provided below.
Now Available with the RC22AI, RC22Q39, &
RC22SCORE
The RC22 Chutes now work, not only Automatically, but, Manually as
well. This means if an RC22M Manual Chute was initially purchased,
it can be upgraded to a Q39 or an Automatic chute. An RC22AI or
Q39 can be operated manually if power is not available.
In addition, the RC22SCORE can also be operated manually if
power is not available.
Contact Customer Service at 1-800-527-8616 for any questions
about upgrading.

Automatic Mode
Using the button on the right rear of the Control Box, the chute can be switched into the “Automatic” mode, where the chute uses an
electronic eye to detect the presence or absence of a steer. A red light will appear. To release the steer, push the “Front / Open” (1) button
on the upper left of the remote control. The headgate opens and a few seconds after detecting that the steer has left, the headgate closes;
the tailgate then opens and upon detection of the next steer having entered the chute, the tailgate closes. One push of a single button
has completed the entire cycle and ropers have the next steer loaded and ready to go upon return to the roping box. To take the chute out
of auto mode, simply push the button again on the back right side of the Control Box.
This chute also oers the operator the option to override the Automatic mode and “score” his horse by opening and closing the tailgate
with the push of buttons (3 & 4). This will not take the chute out of Automatic mode and continues to be a great training tool to keep your
horse from leaving the box at the sound of the chute rather than from a cue from the rider.

“Compressed Air In”. Be sure that this tting is the correct size
for the air line you intend to use. (See Diagram 1)
Step 2: Connect air supply line from compressor to the tting at the back
of ACB. Set regulator on air compressor at 90 psi.
Proper performance requires a minimum of 2hp air compressor
that will produce 3.1 cfm at 90 psi, with a 4 gallon tank.
Step 3: Connect electrical cord to standard 110/125 volt, grounded outlet.

Delay Setting
Another control feature located on the back left of the Control Box is a “Delay” setting. Just to the right of
the green “on” indicator light is a silver knob used to activate and set the delay timing (See Diagram 4).
Each click clockwise gradually delays the activation of the opening of the headgate from 2-30 seconds.
When no one else is around, this great feature oers ropers improved practice opportunities by allowing
the roper/operator to be fully prepared before the steer is released.
