must be complied with. Use of the device in any other area shall be deemed incorrect use. The manufacturer accepts no
liability for any resulting physical and/or material damage. For the purposes of the warranty, correct use is deemed to
involve operation of the machine with a maximum of 40 calves or of 60 goats.
3. Assembly & commissioning

3.1. Supplied package

The machine is delivered on a pallet, max. 8 pieces per pallet.
• completely pre-assembled scratch brush with control unit
• operating instructions

3.2. Checking before commissioning

Before commissioning the "MiniSwing" scratch brush, it must always be checked for completeness, visible defects or
sources of danger. The following checking measures should be carried out:
• check the machine for loose or hanging parts or damage sustained during transport.
• check the cable insulation
• check that all safety devices are present and are in perfect working order.
• check whether there are any sources of danger near the machine that could impair the problem-free and safe
operation of the machine (water hoses, influence of weather, hanging cables or ropes, etc.).

3.3. Assembly

The best possible positioning and stable securing is particularly important for ensuring the problem-free operation
of this heavy-duty machine. The following must be noted:
• do not set up the machine in a confined space in the pen.
• do not set up the machine in proximity to equipment that is sensitive to dust
• mount the electrical control box on a stable, vibration-free base to avoid damage to electronic parts caused by shaking
• protect the electrical control box from rain and excessive sunlight
• only mount the machine on a stable concrete wall or pillar
• the surface on which the support arm rests must be level, otherwise the frame can become twisted –> consequential
damage
• use at least 4 heavy duty M16 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 through-bolts.
• when mounting the machine and control box outdoors, protect it with a roof against rain and snow
• only mount the machine using suitable lifting equipment (pulley, front-loader, etc.), noting the relevant accident pre-
vention 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.
• the fastening surface (masonry, concrete wall) must be free from vibration and oscillation.
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.
If there are considerable differences in withers height among the herd (i.e. more than 20 cm), the machine should be
mounted slightly higher in order to avoid excessive brush wear.
