9. WEIGH BAR INSTALLATION Direct fit scales: Tru-Test MP 600, Gallagher G06000 Other 600mm brands such as ‘Thunderbird’ may need slight modification 1. Remove the four long bolts and nuts holding down the floor then lift the top of the machine up and away to reveal the base 2. -
Page 14: Floor Extension Install
10. FLOOR EXTENSION INSTALLATION The floor extension is used to create a larger floor area and partly cover over the rear access module. This allows sheep to be off-center and still be able to be weighed Floor extension can only be used with weigh bars fitted as the floor is higher 1. -
Page 15: Indicator Stand
11. INDICATOR STAND The weigh indicator support stand can be placed on any of the four legs of the immobilizer to suit easy reading by the operator. Place over the leg and tighten the bolt to prevent movement. The leads are connected to the weigh bars underneath machine. -
Page 16: Adjustment
ADJUSTMENT SENSOR Slide the sensor forward or back along the track to clamp the sheep in that position. For drenching a forward position is normally best, bunghole crutching you will need to stop the sheep early to gain easy access and if weighing, a central position is be best to keep sheep inside machine If sheep are constantly going through too far and you need to lift there heads constantly, this can be strenuous so move the sensor back a little... -
Page 17: Height & Width
HEIGHT AND WIDTH ADJUSTMENT Each side is adjustable vertically and horizontally to suit the size of the sheep being handled. Use a ¾” socket or ring spanner to loosen the bolts, slide to position according to the size and shape of the sheep being processed and firmly re-tighten For width adjustment, adjust so sheep are just rubbing pads as they walk through. -
Page 18: Pressure
PRESSURE Adjust the pressure regulator so the sheep is comfortable but held firmly. Pull the regulator knob out to unlock, raise the pressure by turning clock- wise and decrease pressure by turning counterclockwise. Correct air pres- sure for the size of the sheep is important i.e. more pressure for bigger sheep. -
Page 19: Operation
OPERATION 1. Set the pressure regulator to about 50 PSI and slide the sensor to a central position along the track. Test operation by moving your hand past the sensor while keeping away from any moving parts, the pads should close rapidly. - Page 20 4. If you are weighing, zero the indicator with no weight on the unit 5. Fill your leadup system with sheep and let them flow through to the Immobilizer 6. When the first sheep reaches the sensor beam, the pads will close quickly.
