Step 1: On the back panel of the Automatic Control Box (ACB), is a
standard 1/4" NPT, male, quick-connect air fitting marked
"Compressed Air In". Be sure that this fitting is the correct size
for the air line you intend to use.
Step 2: Connect air supply line from compressor to the fitting at the back
of ACB. Set regulator on air compressor at 90 psi.
Proper performance requires a minimum of 2hp air compressor
that will produce 3.1 cfm at 90 psi, with a 4 gallon tank.
Step 3: Connect electrical cord to standard 110/125 volt, grounded outlet.
NOTICE: Priefert Manufacturing Recommends using a dedicated
Air Compressor to prevent damage of contamination to the
ACB Compressed Air System.
Use Clean & Dry Compressed Air Supply.
Drain Compressor & Air Tanks Daily.
Caution
Be aware of air hose and electric cord layout and arrangement to prevent
trip hazards or entanglement of persons or livestock.

Automatic Mode
Using the button on the right rear of the Control Box, the chute can be switched into the "Automatic" mode, where the chute uses an
electronic eye to detect the presence or absence of a steer. A red light will appear. To release the steer, push the "Front / Open" (1) button
on the upper left of the remote control. The headgate opens and a few seconds after detecting that the steer has left, the headgate closes;
the tailgate then opens and upon detection of the next steer having entered the chute, the tailgate closes. One push of a single button
has completed the entire cycle and ropers have the next steer loaded and ready to go upon return to the roping box. To take the chute out
of auto mode, simply push the button again on the back right side of the Control Box.
This chute also offers the operator the option to override the Automatic mode and "score" his horse by opening and closing the tailgate
with the push of buttons (3 & 4). This will not take the chute out of Automatic mode and continues to be a great training tool to keep your
horse from leaving the box at the sound of the chute rather than from a cue from the rider.
Delay Setting
Another control feature located on the back left of the Control Box is a "Delay" setting. Just to the right of
the green "on" indicator light is a silver knob used to activate and set the delay timing (See Diagram 4).
Each click clockwise gradually delays the activation of the opening of the headgate from 2-30 seconds.
When no one else is around, this great feature offers ropers improved practice opportunities by allowing
the roper/operator to be fully prepared before the steer is released.
