Taurus HD3 & HD5
Installation Requirements
Level concrete surface approx 2.5-3.5m wide
2.5hp compressor 13–16 CFM
240V power supply or generator (optional battery supply)
EID can run off 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
affect 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 off 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 fittings & compressor hook up
If your compressor is situated some distance from your Taurus HD3 or HD5 we recommend the
airline configuration 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 off at the compressor, not the wall.
