Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
Simply cleaning down your head bail after use will increase its working life. Cattle urine and/or
faeces can have a corrosive effect on your equipment. Regularly scrape out underneath your
crush to ensure weighing accuracy. We recommend cleaning the crush without the use of water
blasters as water can often lead to damaging the load cell(s), which will cause weighing
inaccuracies and may require replacement over time.
Lubrication
Lubricate all grease nipples, pivots and tracks on your head bail at least every 4 weeks, or for
every 1,000 cattle processed. The nylon wheels on the top of the head bail require lubrication
also. We recommend using a silicon spray, or CRC to perform this task. Slam latches also
require regular lubrication to ensure they remain easy to operate and do not start to stiffen.
Check and replace any worn components.
Annually check pivots and bolts for wear and replace as required. Bolts need to be kept tight on
the head bail, as they can become loose over time causing the head bail to become sloppy, this
will also cause additional wear on the unit.
