DANGER!
Serious injury or death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of
both the operator and other persons in the area.
1.
Take care when beginning installation and/or use to carefully cut and dispose of any wire material used in
shipping.
2.
Due to the size and weight of the squeeze chute, the handling of it requires proper mechanical and manual
assistance as well as good judgment and caution. The optional squeeze chute carriage is available for ease
of mobility. Back injury, muscle strains, etc., may result if proper care is not taken.
3.
When handling and working animals, the operator and others in the area should be aware that cattle are
unpredictable and powerful. Care must be taken to avoid injury.
4.
During operation of the squeeze chute, bystanders and workers must stay clear of the side exit (right side).
When the side exit is opened, the force of opening can cause injury. Also the exit of the animal from the
side can be hazardous.
5.
After using the side exit, make certain that the side exit is closed and locked securely before the next animal
enters. An unsecured side exit gate can be dangerous if bystanders are near when the animal enters the
squeeze chute.
6.
The best general rule to follow is to always stay alert, use foresight, have good judgment, use common
sense, and maintain an awareness of the dangers involved in operation of this type of equipment.
7.
Lubricate the lock boxes with WD-40 or similar lubricant. DO NOT use grease or oil in the lock boxes.
These substances will cause the locks to slip.

important.
