3.3. PROCEDURES FOR THE COMMISSIONING OF THE HOOF TRIMMING CRUSH
Please see device picture(s) for the following numerations
1) Set up the hoof trimming crush in a level, easily accessible area with slip-resistant ground. Usage of the gangway
for enclosed animals is recommended.
2) All projecting parts in the crush must be swiveled out of the inner area or removed. If available (accessory), please
lower the locker bar.
3) The head catching device (17) is closed below and opened above.
Pay attention to the correct usage of the bollard clamp!
4) Drive the animal into the hoof trimming crush, preferably using a gangway.
5) Activate the head catching device using the cord winch provided (3). The animal should be positioned with its
shoulders as close as possible to the neck frame. Check the secure fixing of the head.
6) Place the knee cord (8) horizontally at the height of the knee joint, span moderately and mount it at the bollard
clamp provided for this purpose.
7) Attaching the retaining elements.
Secure the left rear leg, mount the safety cord at the bollard clamp provided for this purpose.
Attach the shank cord at the back left.
Tightly attach the chest belts with the pull through hooks diagonally between the front legs. Mount the cord in the
bollard clamps.
Attach the shank cord at the back right.
View: correctly attached knee and shank cord
Circle it around the animal 1x in a clockwise direction. All work must be performed from the side, never bend under the
animal body, in front of or behind the animals feet.
8) Fastening a rear leg:
Fasten the foot with a joint belt above the ankle joint and lift it using the crank (6) to a working height. You can cut it
using the Dutch method. (Freely suspended lower leg (photo 1 and photo 2))
When using angle grinders, the lower leg must be fastened additionally to the lower leg shaft. To do this, you swing
the lower leg end (2) to the required working height (photo 3), attach the foot holder belt (4) and pull the lower leg
tightly to the shaft. (Photo 4)

9) Fastening a front leg
Please note: Do not work on a front leg until the back leg on this side is secure.
Attach the front leg belt between the hoof and the dew claw.
Swivel the front leg winch (13) inside until the middle of the shaft is behind the foot. Mount the cord on the winding
bollard and turn it until the hoof is turning upwards.
Swivel the front leg winch (13) out until the hoof is outside the main frame and thus easily accessible.
Perform hoof trimming.
By turning the crank backwards, the cord is released and can be removed. Swivel the foot holder to
the front.
10) All fastenings are released after hoof trimming. The catching device for the head as the last one.

(19) –
12) below using foot pedals (18) which release the lock.
3.4. TRANSPORTATION
Transportation with stable aisle wheels
To be used only for bringing the device into the final position before hoof trimming, not for general transport!
1 set of stable aisle wheels comprises:
2 pieces push-on wheels
1 piece elevator-/steering axle
Allow the ball of the elevator axle to fall in to the recess provided and lift it up.
Do not put hands or feet under the device –danger of crushing.
Fit in the push-on wheels and turn the safety device.
Put the device with the wheels back on the ground by pushing the elevator axle in the direction of the device.
Please note: The elevator axle develops a strong pull in the direction of the device as soon as the elevator axle is
pushed over the midpoint. Hold the axle tightly and support yourself if necessary to avoid injuries.
Place the elevator axle on the opposite side, lift it up and operate.
Transportation with a tractor three-point hitch
To be used for general transportation.
Fasten the lower link and mount the upper link chain. At least 2 chain links must hang down on the outside from the
mounting eyelets.
Transportation with trailer loading
Fit a second pair of push-on wheels.
Choose a suitable car trailer.
e.g. loading space approx. 2x1.1m, 750kg axle, folding front wall, simple access ramp at the back wall, hand-operated
cable winch (350kg) on stands.
Mount the winch cable at the back recess for elevator axle.
Pull the hoof trimming crush up with the cable winch (2 people also push the stand on to the trailer manually).

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL –
CLEANING

Status 11/2017 –Subject to technical modifications
Flip up the back wall and secure as necessary with suitable lashing strap.
3.5. ANIMAL PROTECTION / NATURAL MOTION SEQUENCES
Make sure that no injuries or pain are inflicted to the bovine animal as a result of unnatural movements. This is especially
valid during lifting of the legs and swiveling out of the front legs.
In order to make this easier for you, we have included an overview of the entire locomotive system in the operation manual.
The most important positions were identified here (picture below).
The retaining elements chest belt and shank cord serve to secure the animal so that it cannot fall to the ground. On no
account may the animal hang for a longer period of time in the belts/cords, because this could lead to paralysis with
permanent consequences. If the animal gets hung up in the belt/cord, work must be stopped immediately and the animal
returned to its feet using suitable measures. If the animal does not react, all leg fastenings must be released, the animal
lowered to the ground and the head catching device must be opened.
4. CLEANING
NOTE
Pay attention to the safety information in the safety data sheet for detergents / disinfectants,
remove cleaning waste water in accordance with regulations in the country of use.
