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 effect 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 stiffen.
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.
