3.2.1 Stunning process
Preparation
Prior to starting the stunning device, compare the
technical data of the compressed air system with
that of the tool.
Before starting working with the tool, ensure that
1. the required operating pressure is set correctly:
for the stunning of heifers and cows: min. 10
bar,
for the stunning of bulls: min. 12 bar
2. the stunning device is in proper working order
3. the device is properly sealed
4. all general safety instructions chapter 2.1
"General safety instructions" (page 3) are
strictly adhered to.
Start the device only, if it is in
proper working order, as there is
otherwise a serious risk of injury!

Schmid & Wezel
D75433 Maulbronn,
The head of the operator must be
positioned to the side of the
device, to prevent injury from
backlash!
Pull the release lever (9) at the handle and place
the device on the head of the animal.
The stunning bolt is automatically released by
the safety switch (13).
After successful stunning, remove the device
immediately from the animal's head.
The device is now ready for the next stunning
process.
If the piston (3) fails to automatically return to its
initial position, release another stunning shot
without placing the device against the head of an
animal.
To do this, pull the release lever (9) at the
handle and the pin at the bolt (13) in the
direction of the handle.
A stunning shot is released.
When the release lever or the pin is released,
the piston returns to its initial position.
Working (stunning animals) with a
released piston (3) results in
excessive backlash and can cause
injury!

3.2.2 Operational safety

Stunning device
Hold the device firmly by the handles. Always
hold it in both hands, never operate it with one
hand only!
While the device is switched on, proceed with
extreme caution.
Never operate the release lever when the
stunning device is not in use.
After each successful stunning shut, remove the
device immediately from the animal's head.
For safe operation with proper guidance, the
stunning device should be attached to a spring-
loaded pulley system.
