Service life
The MATADOR has a service life of 3 years or 40,000 shots.
Rate
The maximum rate of a MATADOR is 30 shots/hour.
Noise
Information on airborne noise emissions is given below:
•Weighted sound pressure level at the workstation 103 dB ± 3 dB
•Maximum instantaneous sound pressure value 133 dB ± 3 dB
•Weighted sound power level emitted by the machine 107 dB ± 3 dB
Measurements were taken at a distance of 1m when firing red rounds at a 100 mm thick piece of
plastic with a hardness of 60 ± 5 Shore.
Vibration
The vibration generated by the matador during a shot is less than 2.5 m/s². However, the repeated
action of firing can entail risks in the same way as any repetitive activity. It is advisable to rotate staff
at this work post.

3. INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
3.1 INSTALLATION
The MATADOR must be laid "broken", in a stable position, with the barrel facing the user, so that the
MATADOR can be loaded easily. The user needs at least 2 MATADORS at the station. Please refer to
additional information on page 11 for further explanations.
We strongly recommend using a matabox designed to meet these conditions. Installation must then be
carried out in consultation with the user, to ensure an ergonomic workstation.
Stay with the user during initial use to make adjustments.
Boxes of rounds must be kept dry in a stable position. Mataboxes have a dedicated slot for rounds.
3.2 FIRST-TIME USE
Your MATADORS are tested and approved in our workshops before delivery. So there's no need to
check them on first use.
You are free to follow the "Checking the MATADOR" paragraph on page 18 before putting a new gun
on the line.

4.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The MATADOR is a hazardous tool that can cause serious injury. You must have been trained
to use the MATADOR.
The use of MATADOR must be in a clean and ventilate atmosphere, without fog of dust.
Care must therefore be taken when handling the gun. Never put your hand near the matador
bolt.
An armed MATADOR can be triggered if it falls on the ground. The MATADOR must
therefore always be armed at the last moment, just before the animal is slaughtered. In addition,
the MATADOR must always be handled with the barrel facing downwards.
The MATADOR must always be broken when not in use.
4.2 GETTING STARTED
Before using your MATADOR, always perform the following checks:
Check that the MATADOR bolt is fully retracted into
the barrel.
Check that the gun is properly locked. You should hear
a click.

4.3 MATADOR OPERATING MODE
Place the round in the lock housing.
Have an extra MATADOR ready for
use if needed.
At this point, your 2 MATADORS are
loaded and ready to use.
Lock the matador until the ball clicks.
Arm the matador by pulling the cord as far
as it will go.
Place the matador on the animal's head.
Attention: the gun must be at a right angle
when firing, otherwise the anaesthetic will
be less effective.

Press the trigger button to trigger the
explosion.
Hold the gun firmly against the head to
ensure good penetration.
Unlock and break the matador to eject the
round.
Further information
It is recommended that you have at least 2 MATADORS at the workstation. So, if the pistol shot doesn't
have the desired effect on the animal, or if the shot misses the cerebellum, you can use the 2nd matador
to do it again.
The maximum rate recommended for a MATADOR is 30 shots/hour. Adapt your number of
MATADORS on the station to stick to this rate.
If you have loaded and locked the MATADOR, the cartridge can still be ejected by breaking the gun
normally.

4.4 CARTRIDGE BLOCKAGES
Despite the care taken in the design of the MATADOR, it’s possible that cartridges may remain jammed
after firing, either in the lock or in the firing pin holder as shown below:
Cartridge jammed in lock
Cartridge jammed in firing pin holder
4.4.1 Lock blockage
In the case of a lock blockage, first try to relock your MATADOR and fire it empty one or more times.
If the round remains jammed after firing, take the gun in for maintenance.
4.4.2 Firing pin holder blockage
In the case of a blocked firing pin holder, you can first try to retrieve the cartridge by breaking the
MATADOR, keeping the barrel part close to the handle part.
If the round is not accessible, take the gun in for maintenance.
4.5 END OF SHIFT
At the end of each kill, remove the round from the barrel if there is one, then clean your MATADOR
with a damp cloth. Then store your pistols in a cupboard.
