piece is also present during shearing. We recommend that ear protection, safety glasses
and gloves are always worn when operating the plant.
• Personal protective equipment to be provided by the operator.
2.4.4 Residual dangers
Should dangers and hazards occur during operation which are not directly related to the shea-
ring of animals, we request that you inform us of this. This also applies in the event of a tech-
nical failure that causes a hazard.
2.5 Operator requirements
The safe use of the machine places few demands on operating personnel. These must, howe-
ver, be observed and maintained as a matter of course.
• The operator must have experience in dealing with the animals being shorn.
• The operator must have read and understood the operating instructions, or been indoctri-
nated into the machine's operation by a skilled person, and the risks and dangers must have
been pointed out to him.
3 Initial start-up
3.1 Important notes
• The voltage specified on the maker's plate and that of the local power supply must match.
The machine may only be connected to an AC power supply.
• It is a compulsory requirement that the operator has read the safety regulations.
• In the event that the machine is operated from a generator, the mains supply voltage must
not exceed that specified on the maker's rating plate.
3.2 Assembling the shearing plant
Make sure that the shearing plant is secured properly.
3.2.1 Securing / suspending the shearing plant
The shearing plant can be suspended by means of a strong rope or chain. The hole provided in
the handle should be used to secure the plant (Diag. 2, pos. c).
3.2.2 Assembling the flexible drive
Diag. 2+3
• Start up the motor (see Chapter 3.3).
• Press the lock button located at the flexible drive's upper coupling manually (Diag. 3, pos. b)
.
• Now push the flexible drive coupling into the shearing plant's coupling sleeve and then
position this by means of slight pressure upwards until the lock button engages in the hole
(Diag. 3, pos. c).
3.3 Switching the shearing plant on / off
Important:
Make sure that the ventilation holes are always clear (Diag. 2+3, pos. a). The shears drive
remains switched off after the connection to the power supply. The shearing plant is switched
