SHEEP HANDLER TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Please check this trouble shooting guide before ringing service, often something quite
simple will be the problem
A service charge will be made for call outs if the fault is not covered by your warranty
When testing the unit without sheep ensure at least one green an one black eye are
covered, covering either of the green eyes on their own will only close the auto gate
Ensure the black potentiometer dial is not turned right down (anticlockwise) when testing
For your safety, and that of others, never leave the unit operational when not attended
SYMPTOM
Sheep are not being caught
Possible causes
Possible solutions
Eye not covered or in the wrong position
