• Use at least 4 heavy duty M12 screws. The fastening material must be chosen appropriate to the base. (masonry,
concrete wall). Where concrete walls are used, heavy-duty anchors are usually sufficient. Where other bases are used,
always use 12 mm diameter through-bolts.
• Only mount the machine using suitable lifting equipment (pulley, front-loader, etc.), noting the relevant accident
prevention regulations!
• Secure screws to stop them working themselves loose –> use self-tapping nuts and/or thread lockers.
• Check securing bolts regularly and re-tighten if necessary
TIP: secure the machine to an even, solid concrete wall. Drill through the concrete wall and screw suitable steel counter
plates or large washers onto the other side of the wall using threaded rods onto the machine's base frame
Caution:
with pillar mounting especially, take care to ensure that the base frame does not twist (possibly as a result of
too much tension on the screws)
First secure the base plate to a wall. Use the outer screw holes to do this. The inner screw holes can be used to secure it
to a pillar. Then screw the entire machine onto the base plate. Take particular care to ensure that none of the cables are
damaged in the process.
To achieve the best possible cleaning effect, the cow cleaning machine must be positioned at the correct height. There
may however be considerable differences in the withers height within the herd. To determine the correct mounting
height, measure the animals' average withers height. Then calculate the mounting height based on the following
formula:
Mounting height: see Fig. 3 + 4
Average withers height - 680 mm = mounting height
Example: based on an average withers height of 1,350 mm,
the mounting height would be 670 mm
(1,350 mm - 680 mm = 670 mm).
