Taurus HD3 & HD5 CATTLE CRUSH
Installation Requirements
Level concrete surface approx 2.5-3.5m wide
2.5hp compressor 13–16CFM
240V power supply or generator (optional battery supply)
EID can run o a power supply or separate battery.
Please read and understand the instructions before operating your Taurus HD3 or HD5 Cattle Crush.
The Compressor
We recommend a 13–16 CFM belt driven compressor If the compressor is too small the Taurus
HD3 or HD5 Crush will run slowly and may not operate properly.
The compressor does not need to be close to the crush; having it at some distance reduces noise
levels in the working area. It is important to run compressors in a well ventilated area as close as
possible to a main power supply near a switchboard. This will avoid the use of leads, which can
aect the power input. From time to time the oil level on the dipstick should be checked. Water
should be drained from the air reservoir, after every use.
Please note: when turning the compressor on or o use the switch on the compressor
and not the switch at the power source.
This applies to all compressors, because air is not discharged, the compressor is being asked to
starting under a load and this can burn out its capacitor.
Attaching the air ttings & compressor hook up
If your compressor is situated some distance from your Taurus HD3 or HD5 we recommend the
airline conguration shown here.
This provides a purge tap or ball valve so that condensation can be periodically removed from
the air system. Assemble the airline and connect to the compressor. Plug the compressor into
a power source and turn the power source on, then using the switch on the compressor turn
the compressor on. Always turn the compressor on or o at the compressor, not the wall.

Taurus HD3 & HD5 CATTLE CRUSH
Manual Mode
When the crush is set to Manual mode all control is operated using the switches on the crush or
using the remote control.
Manual operation functions:
Headbail – open or close
Squeeze – open or close
Drafting gates – left or right
Sliding gate– open or closes the sliding gate on the crush
Race gate – open or closes the sliding gate in the race (optional item)
Auto Mode
When switched to Auto mode the crush will adjust ready for auto drafting.
The headbail will close and sliding gate will open.The draft gate switch needs to be set to straight
or it will override the Auto drafting commands.
When an animal enters it will be detected by a sensor mounted in the top of the crush. This will
start the process of closing the sliding gate.
When the sliding gate is closed completely another sensor is activated and a command is sent
to the scales to make a drafting decision. This is handled dierently per model as noted below:
Crush with 3 Way Draft Module –if the crush has a 3 way draft module the gates will be set
to correct direction and headbail will open for animal to exit. As the animal moves through the
draft module it will be detected by a sensor and the headbail will close again and sliding gate
will open for next animal. If a animal remains standing in the draft module (in front of sensor)
the next animal will not be released until the animal has moved on
Draft out of crush model – when command is received the gate on the crush will open to let
the animal exit. As the weight drops o the gates will close again and the sliding gate will open
ready for the next animal.
How it works
TheTaurus HD3 system uses compressed air to open
and close the entry and various exit gates. After
the animal enters the crush the rear sliding gate is
automatically closed, and the weighing cycle starts.
When a stable weight is recorded the appropriate
exit/drafting gate is automatically opened and the
animal is released. With the 5 function handheld
radio remote control, the operator can control the
main functions of the crush and the draft gates
from a distance.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
Simply cleaning down your headbail after use will increase its working life. Cattle urine and/or
faeces can have a corrosive eect on your equipment. Regularly scrap out underneath your crush
to ensure weighing accuracy. We recommend cleaning the crush without the use of water blasters
as water can often lead to damaging the load cell(s), which will cause weighing inaccuracies and
may require replacement over time.
Lubrication
Lubricate all grease nipples, pivots and tracks on your headbail at least every 4 weeks, or for
every 1,000 cattle processed. The nylon wheels on the top of the headbail require lubrication also.
We recommend using a silicon spray, or CRC to perform this task. Slam latches also require regular
lubrication to ensure they remain easy to operate and do not start to stien.
Check and replace any worn components
Annually check pivots and bolts for wear and replace as required. Bolts need to be kept tight on the
headbail, as they can become loose over time causing the headbail to become sloppy it will also
cause additional wear on the unit.
Contact Te Pari Products, or your local dealer for assistance with product part replacement.
