3.3 Operating the hoof trimming chute
For subsequent numbering see device overview(s)
1) Place the hoof trimming chute on a level, easily accessible place with a non -slip floor. For
freestall barn animals, the use of pushing gates is highly recommended!
2) All parts protruding into the chute must be swinged or cleared out of the inner area. The
rear hind leg retention bracket (2) must be swinged up and the belly strap (14) must rest
on the rubber mat at the bottom. For variants Basic and Comfort, hook the side barrier
chain tightly to the side of the head catching doors (13).
3) Release the emergency stop switch on the head catch control
(3).
4) Check whether the direction of rotation of the front leg winch
(17) is correct (arrows on the button indicate the direction of
correct rotation). If this is not the case, correct the direction of
rotation by switching the phase inverter at the power
connection (18).
5) Bring the head catch in catching position (head catching doors
and frame parallel to the ground) using the "Auf" (Open) and
"Zu" (Close) buttons on the head catch control (3).
6) Drive the cattle in the chute, preferred using pushing gates.
7) Close the head catch with the "Zu" (Close) button on the head
catch control (black button (3)), the head catch stops
automatically at 160 mm safety width! For animals with a very
wide neck, the safety catch must be stopped earlier to avoid
squeezing the animal! Additional positioning disc with 210 mm
catching width included in delivery! If necessary, have it
mounted by competent personnel!
The animal should be as close as possible to the neck frame
with its shoulders. Check that the head is securely fixed. Do
not squeeze the neck area! If necessary, open the safety catch
slightly!
8) Fixing the animal in the chute:
Basic/Comfort:
Place the knee rope (8) horizontally at the height of the knee
joint, tighten it as much as possible and fasten it to the bollard
clamp (9) according to the sticker.
Professional:
There is no need to put on the knee rope, as the integrated
knee chain (8) of the hind leg retention bracket (2) takes over
this function.
Pull the lever on the left side of the hind leg retention bracket
(2) and swing it to the appropriate working height or push it as far as
possible towards the cow. When the lever is released, the hind leg
retention bracket locks automatically.
The hind leg retention bracket (2) must be fully locked on both sides!

Operation and maintenance manual

tightly by hand through the winding bolt and tighten it with the
DS crank (21) 1-2 turns clockwise. This belt prevents the
animal from going down in the chute. Do not lift the animal off
the ground!
Fasten the rear leg above the hock with the help of the ankle
strap (7) and secure it by slightly tightening the rope of the rear
leg winch(es) (6). Secure the second rear leg in the variant
Comfort as well.
Professional:
Put on the belly strap (14) by pressing the button (9).
As far as the belly strap encloses the animal’s chest tightly.
This belt prevents the animal from falling to the ground in the
chute. Do not lift the animal off the ground!
Fasten both rear legs above the hock with the help of the ankle
strap and secure them by slightly tightening the rope of the
rear leg winches (6).
10) Lifting a rear leg:
Basic/Comfort:
Swing the hind leg retention bracket down to the appropriate
working height and lock the position in the locking rod (5).
Lift the rear leg close to the V-Shape. Pay attention to the
optimal tension of the knee rope (8)
Professional:
Lift the rear foot close to the V-shape. Pay attention to the
optimal tension of the knee chain (8). The tension of the knee
chain can be adjusted by hand.
11) Fixing a rear foot.
Place the foot strap (10) above the dewclaw once around the
rear foot and hang the end of the foot strap on the holding
mushroom on the winding shaft (23). (see picture right side)
With the help of a few turns of the DS crank (1) pull the rear

3.5 Animal welfare and natural motion sequences
Take care not to cause pain or injury to the cattle by unnatural movements. This is especially
true when lifting the feet and swinging out the front feet.
To make it easier to understand, an overview of the entire musculoskeletal system is
included in the operating manual. The most important points are marked (picture below).
The securing elements belly strap and ankle strap serve to secure the animal so that it
