Installation Height; Installation Steps - Kerbl MaxiSwing Operating Instructions Manual

5.3.1 Installation height

The suspension height of the unit must be adapted to the average withers height of the animals. The top edge of the brush roller itself should be
approx. 100 - 200 mm above the average withers height. The suspension height must be determined before the mounting holes are made!
If there are considerable differences in withers height among the herd (more than 20 cm), the suspension height should be orientated towards
the larger animals in order to avoid rapid wear of the brushes.
