2 Transport
2.1 Attaching the hoof trimming chute to a tractor
WARNING
If a tractor is used to transport the hoof trimming chute, the chute will be attached to the tractor’s
lower links and, using the 3-point chain, to the top link. Reverse the tractor up to the machine,
ensuring that nobody is in the hazard area between the tractor and the hoof trimming chute.
Note when attaching the product:
Before attaching the hoof trimming chute make sure the front of the tractor is sufficiently
ballasted.
Never step between the tractor and the hoof trimming chute when attaching the product
- crushing hazard!
Use suitable locking pins to mount the hoof trimming chute to the lower links and top-
link chain. Check the hitch for proper tightness.
When operating the tractor’s hydraulic system (top and lower links), make sure the
tractor is stable. Keep a safe distance to any hazardous moving parts. Never step on
any parts of the tractor (lower links, ...) or on the hoof trimming chute.
Never step between the hoof trimming chute and the tractor while the tractor is running.
Check the transport position. The front leg supports should be pivoted inwards. All
safety ropes should be taut and attached to the rope clamps. Move the head catch into
the closed position.

3.3 Commissioning the hoof trimming chute
Refer to the component overview for call-outs:
1. Place the hoof trimming chute on an even, non-slip surface located in an easily accessible
area. For livestock kept in free-stall barns we recommend using a cattle alley.
2. Move any parts protruding into the chute away from the inside area. Tightly hook up the side
front barrier to the head catch.
3. Release the E-stop button on the head catch control (3).
4. Check the correct rotational direction for the leg support (17). The arrows on the
button indicate the rotational direction. If it is not correct, set the rotational direction
using the phase inverter provided at the power connection.
5. Move the head catch into the closed position (head catch parallel to the floor) using the
Open and Close buttons on the head catch control (3).
6. Drive the animal into the hoof trimming chute, preferably through a cattle alley.
7. Close the head catch using the black Close button on the head catch control (3). The head
catch will not stop moving until it reaches a gap of 160 mm. For greater neck widths, ensure
to stop the head catch before the animal’s neck is crushed. The product is supplied with an
additional 210mm positioning aid. If necessary, have the aid installed by qualified personnel.
The animal’s shoulders should be as close as possible to the neck frame. Check that the
animal’s head is firmly held in place. Ensure not to crush the animal’s neck. If necessary,
slightly re-open the head catch.
8. Horizontally apply the knee rope (8) to the animal’s knee joint. Apply moderate tension and
attach the rope to the provided rope clamp (9).
9) To apply the limb attachments:
Put the belly strap (14) onto the idler pulley (22). Apply tension by manually pulling the
strap through the wrap pin. Tighten the strap by turning the crank by 1-2 clockwise
rotations.
Use the ankle strap (7) to attach the animal’s hind legs above the ankle joint. Attach
the hind legs to the release lever (21).
Stay to the side of the animal while performing work. Never stoop underneath the
animal’s body or step behind its legs.
10) To attach a hind leg:
Attach the electric winch’s (6) hook to the chain for the ankle strap (7). Open the release lever
lock (21). Raise the animal’s hind leg to working height (20). This enables you to trim the hoofs
using the Dutch method (free-hanging hind leg).
If using an angle grinder, use the lower-leg shaft to provide additional support for the hind leg.
To do this, move the lower-leg stop to the required working height, apply the leg strap sling
(10) and pull the lower leg until it tightly contacts the shaft.

Operation and maintenance manual
Hoof trimming chute operating manual - 15 of 21 -
Rev. 06/2020 –We reserve the right to make technical modifications.
Ensure the metal D-ring is in the proper position, enabling the strap to be run
smoothly. Otherwise the D-ring may become twisted.
11) To attach a front leg:
Caution: Never perform any work on the animal’s front leg unless the hind leg on the same
side is properly secured.
Apply the front leg strap (4) between the hoof and the dew claw. The small loop
should be right between the dew claws.
Move the front leg supports inwards until the animal’s leg is positioned between the
2 plastic sections. Hook up the strap attachment pin between the plastic rollers and
push the black button for the electric winch (17) to raise the leg. Do not overstretch
the animal’s leg or the animal may be hurt.
Move the front leg support outwards until the hoof is easily accessible from outside of
the main frame.
Trim the hoof.
Press the green button (17) to release and remove the leg strap (4). Move the leg
support all the way to the front.
12. Release all attachments after hoof care has been completed.
The head catch (13) should not be opened until all other attachments have been
released.
13. Open the head catch using the green button on the head catch control (3).
14. Only use an angle grinder if an appropriate protective device is provided.
15. Wait for the grinding disc to come to a standstill before attaching the angle grinder to its
support.
16. For periods when the hoof trimming chute is not operated, the red E-stop switch located
in the head catch control (13) must be pressed.

3.4 Transport
Transport using the dolly wheels
The dolly wheels should only be used to achieve the product’s final position before
commencing hoof care. They are not intended for general transport purposes.
1 set of dolly wheels comprises:
2 push-on wheels
1 lifting/steering rod
Begin by moving the head catch to the closed position and attaching the service arm
and the wiring entry.
Wait for the lifting rod ball to lock with the provided catch. Then raise the product.
Never put your hands or feet underneath the product - crushing hazard!
Attach the push-on wheels and twist the lock.
Lower the machine to the floor by pushing the lifting rod toward the machine.
Caution: Once the lifting rod is pushed across the centre point, the weight of the
machine will pull the rod toward the machine. Firmly hold on to the rod and seek
sufficient balance and support to avoid injuries.
Position the lifting rod on the opposite side of the machine. Raise and move the
machine.
Transport using a tractor 3-point hitch
General transport information:
Move the head catch to the closed position. Attach the service arm and the wiring
entry.
Attach the lower links and hook up the top-link chain. A minimum of 2 free chain links
should hang from the hook-up eyes on the inside.
Never exceed the maximum permitted transport speed of 25kph.

3.5 Allow natural movements
Make sure the animal does not suffer pain or injuries caused by unnatural movements,
particularly when raising and moving its legs.
To make this easier for you, this operating manual shows an overview of the animal’s skeletal
system. The image below shows the animal’s most important body parts.
The belly and ankle straps are used to secure the animal, preventing it from falling to the floor.
The animal must never be strapped for extended periods of time as irreversible paralysis may
occur. If the animal throws itself into the straps or fails to stand on its own legs, stop work
immediately and take appropriate action to put the animal back on its feet. If the animal fails to
respond to your attempts, release all leg attachments, lower the animal to the ground, and
open the head catch as needed.
