How it works
The Taurus Auto catch crush as four modes of operation to give total flexibility.
MODE 1:
Auto draft button on - Auto catch button on.
When switched to Auto mode the crush will adjust ready for auto drafting/ auto catching. Use this
mode to auto catch and auto draft as to weights selected on the scales panel.
1.
Set the Draft Gate switch to Straight before
operation. NOTE - Auto drafting commands
will be overridden if gate switch is
to straight.
2.
Press Power Button. Button will light up,
the entry gate will automatically open and
the head bail will automatically close.
3.
Set the Head Bail Open Gap. The head bail
will close to the preset distance selected on
the control dashboard once operation has
started.
4.
Press Auto Catch button. Note, button will
light up.

When an animal enters it will be detected
•
by a sensor mounted in the top of the
crush. This will start the process of closing
the Crush entry gate automatically.
Once the animal places its head through the
•
yoke in the head bail it will automatically
close.
•
Use the Chin Lift Up switch to raise the chin
lift, thereby immobilising the head.
•
Once animals' weight has been recorded
the drafting gates will move automatically as per selected weight setting in the scales.
6.
Push the Release Button. This automatically returns all functions to the start positions and
releases the animal.
•
Once animal has cleared the draft gate sensor the process will begin again.
Note: to have good cattle flow it is important to set the head bail opening gap correctly. See
troubleshooting section.
