is ready for use.

crush.
Lead the cow into the crush until its
head has passed through the front
gate.
Close the front gate.

or rear gate.
Tighten the rump chain around the
animal and secure it.
(SA0018/SA0022)
Lower the rear gate and secure it with
the chain (SA0026).
In order to avoid the risk of damage
to the rear leg, ensure that the rear
gate is pressed up tightly against
the animal.
5. Apply the belly belt
Place the belly belt under the belly
behind the front legs and tighten it.
Where the (optional) electrical drive to
the belly belt is present, the belt
remains connected and is raised from
the floor until it comes up under the
belly.

raise the leg.
Process the rear hoof.
