INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Cow Model:
1. Mount control box: Securely attach control box on one side of arena. It
should be mounted so pulley on bottom of box is approximately 45 inches
from the ground.
2. Mount return pulley: Mount off-side return pulley on opposite side of
arena in horizontal position. It should also be mounted approximately 45
inches from the ground. See attached instructions for machines using a
cable tensioner.
3. Install kevlar cable: Have an assistant hold cable in center of arena. Take
end of cable attached to slide tube around idler pulley, across arena, around
both pulleys on bottom of control box, and back to center. Be sure the
straight slide tube slides freely on the back part of the loop. Tie
opposite end of cable to slide tube and tighten removing as much slack as
possible. Tie s knot and cut off extra cable. Keep in mind that the objective
is to form a loop with the cable. The slide tube with two snaps supports
the cow’s head, and the slide tube with one snap (slides freely on back part
of loop) supports the cow’s shoulder.
4. Install "TECH" line: The tech line is static and supports the cow’s hip. A
slide tube is pre-installed on this line. Tie one end of tech line to fence as
close to control box as possible. There should be no more than 2 –3
inches between the back part of the loop and the tech line. Tie to fence on
opposite side of arena and tighten. Installing tech line close to shoulder
line causes the cow to travel flat, stop flat, and turn around smoothly.
5. Install antenna: Remove protective cap from antenna connecter on top of
control box. Insert whip antenna into connecter, push down, and twist
clockwise approximately ¼ turn. You should feel antenna lock into
position. (To remove antenna, squeeze base and twist counter-clockwise)
6. Apply power: Plug Pro Cutter into grounded 120VAC, 3-prong outlet.
Waiting a few minutes before operating allows the climate control system
to stabilize temperatures and remove condensation. Always unplug unit
when not in use. *EURO MODELS: 240VAC/50Hz

7. Attach cow: Following the included drawing, attach cow to slide tubes on
kevlar cable and tech line.
8. Operate system: Take a minute to experiment with the system. Turn speed
dial on control box to "30". Attach remote control to your wrist, and
fingerplate on your index (pointer) finger. Using your thumb to operate
buttons, move cow end to end. Make any adjustments (tighten rope, adjust
Tech line, etc). Once comfortable with the controls, you are ready to
introduce your horse to the Pro Cutter. We recommend working at slow
speeds until both horse and rider are acclimated.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
* Soft-start acceleration: Progressive acceleration ramp
* Superior radio system: Better range, less interference.
* Large drive system: Heavy-duty industrial components
* Weather-tight NEMA enclosure

Important Safeguards:
1. Electrical enclosure (control box) should be protected with a non-metal roof or shield.
This not only protects the paint finish but also keeps rubber components (gasket, boots,
antenna, etc.) from drying out.
2. Warning: Electric shock or malfunction could occur if power cord or plug is damaged
in any way. Do not work Pro Cutter in rain –or allow cord or plug to lie in water
3. Always use properly grounded 120VAC electrical outlet.
4. Do not operate Pro Cutter if control box, or any of its components are damaged in any
way, or after malfunction.
5. Use Pro Cutter only as intended and described in literature.
6. Always unplug Pro Cutter when through working each day.
7. Do not allow flag to run into ends, or damage may occur to electronics, rope, or both.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: Solution:
1. Pro Cutter will not operate Make sure there is power to
using remote control or manual machine. Check 4A fuse.
switch.
2. Pro Cutter will operate using Check battery in remote
manual switch but not remote control. Be sure antenna &
control. receptacle aren’t damaged.
3. There’s a “clicking” noise Fuse is blown.
but Pro Cutter won’t run. replace fuse (4 amp, 250 v.,
fast blow).
NOTE: The remote control, worn on the rider’s wrist, has a 9-volt battery in the plastic case
inside the pouch. The battery must be changed on a regular basis. The first sign that a battery
may be failing is when the flag starts hesitating or “missing” going one direction. The natural
tendency is to press harder on the switch, twist the cable leading to the switches, or tap the remote
control, all of which may result in damage. Avoid these conditions and replace battery at first
sign of intermittent operation. Remote control should always be stored indoors.
NOTE: The antenna, or protective cap, must be securely fastened to receptacle on top of control
box at all times. If the antenna or antenna cap is removed or damaged, water can enter the control
box resulting in severe damage to electronics. Care should be taken during installation to mount
unit in a location protected from livestock.
