Introduction

Your safety is our focus

All Te Pari products are designed for the ultimate in safety.

Working with livestock can be a dangerous business at times so we have designed many features

into our cattle crushes and headbails to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.

Animals safety is also paramount, so all our equipment is designed to get the job done with

minimal discomfort and distress to the animal.

At Te Pari Products, we take quality seriously.

We only use top quality raw materials and have thorough quality control systems in place.

Now you have purchased a C1000 headbail, you can be assured that the equipment has been

manufactured from rst grade materials under strict quality control standards.

We guarantee our headbails for 36 months against defective workmanship and materials

from the time of purchase.

Health and Safety

• Keep your hands, ngers and limbs well clear of any pivots, hinges or other pinch points on

your headbail for example, the headbails doors, and other moving mechanisms.

• Do not enter the area in front of the headbail until you have checked that the animal is fully

secured. It is safe work practice to keep clear of this area.

• Whenever possible do not work alone.

• Make sure you read and understand the correct operating procedure for your headbail

before you use it.

Installation recommendations

When your headbail is delivered it is important to check that it is damage free, if you notice any

freight damage please notify Te Pari Products dispatch department immediately.

Ensure you note on the drivers copy of the delivery consignment note any damages.

Your C1000 headbail will mount into either a steel yard or the strainer posts of a wooden yard.

The approximate weight of the C1000 headbail is 200 kg.

Note: The actual weight of your delivered unit will vary due to options tted to the unit.

C1000 Head Bail

Fitting to a steel yard

The headbail is bolted directly to the end of the cattle yard panel.

4 bolt holes are provided, 2 holes being drilled through each of the RHS vertical main frames of the

headbail, 1 towards the top and 1 towards the bottom at each side.

A top bolt hole is shown here A. as seen from the entry side of the headbail.

The headbail frame is mounted to t ush with the upright ends of the yard panels using M12

x 120 galvanised bolts with appropriate washers and nuts. Shown below through the 50 x 50

uprights of the headbail B and cattle yard panel C.

Fitting to a wooden yard or strainer posts

The headbail is mounted to the posts using bolts. 4 bolt on mounting width extension brackets

are supplied for this purpose. Note: The brackets may be already attached to the headbail frame

for you - a bracket is shown tted to headbail frame below D.

We recommend that holes are drilled right through the wooden strainer posts and that the

headbail is bolted to the posts using M12 galvanised thread rod, washers and nuts.

Important

You must ensure that the edge of the post does not project into the headbail entry area E, that is

beyond the inside edge of the headbail frame as shown in the plan view graphic below.

Standard Operating procedures for the C1000 headbail

General cattle handling

Keep calm. A calm and in control operator will help keep cattle from becoming alarmed or over

excited. This is one of the most important rules of good cattle handling.

For best operation open the doors to the approximate width of the animals head but less than the

shoulders.

• The animal will put its head in the gap

• Then close the headbail

Important: close the head bail in one fast continuous motion ensuring that all the backlash

(Slop) in the linkages is removed as the head bail closes tight on the animals neck.

If the head bail maintenance is not kept up to date with the head bail regularly greased it will

make operating more dicult and the animal may not be held tight enough.

A quick reex is required to catch horned animals. We recommend the Baulk Gate option is tted

to assist in catching larger horned animals.

If a rear handle option is tted to your C1000 headbail disengage the front handle when using the

rear handle and visa versa. A rear handle option assists in the ecient use of the headbail as you

are always standing behind the animal when headbailing and makes catching the animal easier.

We recommend you t Anti Backing Ratchets to use in conjunction with your C1000 headbail

Always ensure you stand on the headbail side of the pipe when you are inserting the anti-backing

ratchet pipe behind the animal if the animal suddenly moves backwards it will ick the pipe away

from the operator.

Always ensure the anti backing ratchet collar is engaged in the track to stop it sliding out sideways

as the animal moves.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning

• Simply cleaning down your C1000 headbail after use will increase its working life. Cattle urine

and/or faeces can have a corrosive eect on your equipment.

Lubrication

• Lubricate all grease nipples, pivots and tracks on your C1000 headbail at least every 4 weeks,

or for every 1,000 cattle processed. The nylon wheels on the top of the headbail require

lubrication every 2 months.

Check and replace any worn components

• Annually check pivots and bolts for wear and replace as required. Te Pari Products have a full

range of replacement parts for your headbail.
