3.3. PROCEDURES FOR THE COMMISSIONING OF THE HOOF TRIMMING CRUSH
1) Position the hoof trimming crush on an even, slip-resistant surface (no mounting necessary) at an easily accessible area.
2) Open the rear gate and close the front gate on which the catching bow is mounted (only at Bull Top)
Open the headgate and choose manual or automatic mode as required.
3) Hang the loose chain ends to the crush and make sure that they nor touch the floor neither hinder the animal when it is led into
the crush.
4) Turn the front foot winch far enough outwards that it is placed outside of the base frame.
5) Remove the chest strap from the interior area of the crush or take it off the deflection pulley and place it in the center of the crush
flat across the bottom of the crush.
6) If necessary, move the locking strut (accessory) downwards in order to avoid a jinking of the animal.
7) It is recommended to lead the animal into the hoof trimming crush via a passageway.
8) Activate the catching device (or automatic operation). The animals‘ shoulders should be close to the frame for the neck. Check if
the head is safely held in place.
9) Put on the knee chain horizontally at the height of the knee joint, fasten moderately and attach it to the corresponding hook.
10) Putting on the chest strap –starting at the rear side of the animal: Lead the chest strap behind the front feet via the deflection
pulley to the tensioning pulley. Thread the strap and tighten it clockwise with the crank shaft.
11) Put on the shank chains by leading them left and right between udder and shank to the front and firmly attach the chains to the
chain fixing bracket.
12) Fastening the back foot:
Fasten the foot with the joint strap above the ankle joint and lift it with the upper crank handle to the desired operating height, so
you can trim by using the Dutch method. Additionally, fasten the lower part of the foot with the lower back foot winch when using an
angle grinder.
13) Fastening the front foot:
Caution: Only work on a front foot when the back foot of the same side is safely fastened by the rope. Fasten the rope for the front
foot between the claw and the dew claw. Move the front foot winch inwards until the center of the shaft is behind the foot. Attach
the rope to the winding shaft and tighten it until the claw is slightly turned outwards.
Turn the front foot winch outwards until the claw is outside the main frame and therefore easily accessible.
Caution: Do not overstretch the joints of the animal! Make sure that the locking mechanism has properly snapped in. The rope can
be removed by turning back the crank handle and loosening the rope. Perform hoof trimming.

Status 05/2022 –subject to technical modifications
14) Tighten the joint strap by using the knee strap shaft (2). Tighten the lower part of the
foot by using the back foot shaft (5). Pay close attention to the proper winding of the rope.
The foot should rest approx. at the center of the shaft. Perform hoof trimming.
15) After hoof trimming:
Loosen the shank chains. If they are loaded, turn the dropping lever until the chain is
dropping down. Put the loose chain end back alongside the chain in order to avoid the
risk of injury.
Caution: Keep your hand off the chain! Now open the chest strap. Emergency
lowering –if necessary the shank chains at the back can be lowered by using the knee
strap shaft.
16) Open the safety gear –the animal can leave the hoof trimming crush.
For Bull Top only
In case the animal is too big to fit through the safety catch, open front gate. If the animal
lays down in the crush, remove the cross chain and open the safety catch and the rear
gate.
17) Prepare the hoof trimming crush for the next animal as described in point 1 to 4.
3.4. COMMISSIONING AND OPERATING THE HEADGATE
The „headgate“ can be installed into existing passageways as well as with a rack (HGS) slightly relocated. The hoof trimming crush
„Snap Top Ten“ is also equipped with this component.
Standard Operation
1) Push the switching lever back, so that it won’t snap in the operating lever.
2) Open headgate with operating lever.
3) Let the animal enter the hoof trimming crush at the rear through the passageway. As soon as the head has passed the catching
bar, close the headgate.
Hint: If the animal enters the crush rapidly, reduce the opening of the catching bars until the animal stops and then slowly reopen it.
4) For special treatments at the head (treatment of eyes and ears, dehorning etc.) the head can be fastened additionally with the
special chain HC (accessory equipment).
CAUTION
5) Pull the operating lever upwards to release the animal and let it pass through towards the front.
Automatic mode
6) Move the switching lever to the front, until it snaps in the operating lever.
7) Open the headgate with the operating lever and insert the distance piece according to the required opening width (slightly wider
than head size).

OPERATION AND MAINTENACNE MANUAL
BULL TOP
Operation manual Hoof trimming crush Bull Top - 11 of 13 -
Status 05/2022 –subject to technical modifications
8) If an animal tries to escape through the opening, the distance piece is released and falls back into the initial position by its own
weight. The closing spring contracts the headgate until the catching bar is placed closely to the animal’s neck. The clamping device
ensures that the catching bar can’t be opened by the animal.
9) Pull the operating lever upwards in order to open the headgate.
The automatic mode is not recommendable for fastening the animal for longer treatments as there is a higher risk of injury for the
animal. Switch to manual mode, release the spring.
Adjusting for operating from the right side
The standard headgate (factory setting) is equipped with the operating lever on the left side. All of the levers can be converted
inversely to the opposite side.
10) Conversion of the operating lever: loosen the two screws of the operating lever and place the operating lever at the opposite
side and fasten the screws again.
11) Conversion of the operating lever from manual to automatic mode:
Loosen the eyebolt of the spring and pull the lever upwards to remove it. Insert the lever on the opposite side, slightly pretension
the tension spring with a screwdriver and faster the nut.
12) Conversion of the adjusting lever for the distance piece: Remove the locking pin of the slider bar for the distance piece, pull out
the bar and insert the distance piece back-to-front. Turn the operating lever to the front by loosening the lock nut and reattach it.
3.5. ANIMAL PROTECTION / NATURAL MOTION SEQUENCES
Make sure that no injuries or pain is 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 such as the chest strap and the shank ropes are meant to prevent the animal from falling. Under no
circumstances may the animal hang in the straps/ropes longer than necessary, as this could lead to paralyses with permanent
consequences. If the animal gets hung up in the belt/cord, work must be stopped immediately and measures must be taken to get
the animal back on its feet. 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.
