Racewell HDSHEEP HANDLING SYSTEMSCompressorThe following specification is required for your Racewell Handler:12 CFM capacityMinimum pressure of 90 psiIf your compressor lower capacity than these specification then the Racewell may work slowly.Manufacturer installation and maintenance guidlines for the compressor should be followed.This includes checking the oil and draining water from the tank.Please note: when turning the compressor on or off use the switch on the compressorand not the switch at the power source.Attaching the air fittings and connecting the compressorTo your Racewell1 m / 3 feet(approx)From your CompressorBall or tap valveConnect the air line to the Racewell handler. The connectionis located underneath the Clamp and Weigh Area. If thecompressor is located some distance away from the racewellhandler it is recommended that you include a water trap on theline to avoid condensation getting to the handler pneumatics.The image above shows a design for a simple water trap.Power SupplyPower can be supplied viamains (110V AC to 240V AC)or via the 12 Volt battery leadssupplied with the handler. Theinternal system is all 12 Volt ACpower supply.4Te Pari Racewell HD3, HD4 & HD6 Operators Manual

Racewell HDSHEEP HANDLING SYSTEMSDashboard controlsYour Racewell handler has a number of different operating modes. These are explained below.(Starting from the Left button on the dashboard)PowerWhen power is connected to the Racewell Handler it can then be powered on via thedashboard power button. When the Racewell Handler is ON the button will glow green. It isstrongly recommended to turn the racewell Handler off when you have finished working.Draft gatesThe draft gate switch will move the postion of the Drafting gates to the leftor right. When Auto drafting the switch must be set to AUTO. The draft gatedirection can be changed at any time during weighing and drafting should youwish to change the direction manually.Release buttonWhen set to AUTO the sheep will be automaticlly released from the Clamp andweigh area when it has been weighed. If set to MANUAL then the operator willhave to press the release button for the sheep to be released.TiltThe tilt switch will move the Clamp and Weigh area up or down for access to thesheep.6Te Pari Racewell HD3, HD4 & HD6 Operators Manual
Racewell HDSHEEP HANDLING SYSTEMSCatch (Auto/Manual)The Catch switch is used if the operator wants to catch a sheep manually ratherthan using the eyes on the side of the machine. For general use the switch shouldbe set to AUTO.Safety Note: Please ensure the machine is turned off or this switch is set to manualbefore adjusting the clamp wall width. Failure to do could result in the clamp being activated and personal injuryEntryThe entry gate has 4 modes:Closed: The entry gate will remain closed regardless of the sensors on the sideof the Handler. This option is used when you may have sheep in the race and donot want them to come through the handler.Auto: The Entry gate will be closed when one of the Blue eyes on the side of the handler are activated.It will open again when eye is clearedAuto fast: The Entry gate will be closed when one of the Blue eyes on the side of the handler are activatedhowever it will open at the same time as the clamp releases allowing for faster flow into the machineOpen: The entry gate will remain open regardless of the sensors on the side of the Handler. This optionis very useful when doing tasks such as treatments and the animals are not being weighed as it providescontinuous flowRecommended postion is AUTOCatchThe catch button will activate the clamp. This button is used for catching a sheepmanually. If a sheep is caught in the clamp and the button is pressed again, more airwill flow to the cylinder and increase the pressure on the sheep. If the catch switch isset to AUTO and you press the CATCH button. It will overide the auto function and thesheep will not be released automatically.Hold pressureThe Hold pressure knob increases or decreases the pressure of the clamp wall. Therecommended setting is at about 1/3 if your compressor is running at reommendedpressure of 90–100 psi. If set to the lowest pressure the clamp wall will not move at all.It is important not to have the pressure to high for animal welfare.Release7The release button will release the clamp. This button is used for releasing a sheepmanually.Te Pari Racewell HD3, HD4 & HD6 Operators Manual
Racewell HDSHEEP HANDLING SYSTEMSPositioning the sensors (eyes)Blue EyesThese activate the closing of the entry gate to stop the next sheep coming in whilethere is one being weighed. The backing hook in the lead up race is also activatedby these eyes.Black eyes When one of the blue eyes is covered and one of the black eyes is covered the clampwill activate and a sheep will be caught and weighed. It is important that the eyes arepositioned correct and that a sheep can not get inbetween the Blue and black eyes.The eyes are on magnets to allow ease of adjustment to suit the size of animals you are workingwith or the task your wanting to achieve in the handler.SENSOR EYE POSITION GUIDE FOR DAGGING SMALLER SHEEPSENSOR EYE POSITION GUIDEFOR WEIGHING SMALLER LAMBSSENSOR EYE POSITION GUIDE FORWEIGHING LARGER LAMBS OR SHEEPPlease Note : Wool dust or debris covering any of the four eyes can affect operation.Make sure that the lenses of the eyes are clean at all times.8Te Pari Racewell HD3, HD4 & HD6 Operators Manual
Racewell HDSHEEP HANDLING SYSTEMSAnti backing hookShift pin positionThis works with the auto gate, and ensures that the animalcan't walk backwards the handler.The anti backing hook is activated by the blue eyes andprevents the sheep moving backwards when it is released. Itis recommended the hook is disabled when doing tasks suchas crutching where the sheep is caught towards the back ofthe clamp and weigh area. The hook can be deactivated by shifting the pin position.Adjusting the clamp and weigh area widthAt the bottom of the clamp wall, there are adjustment holes.Safety Note: Please ensure the machine is turned off or this switch is set to manual before adjustingthe clamp wall width. Failure to do so could result in the clamp being activated and personal injury. Itis also possible to remove the air hoses on the cylinder to make adjustment easierThe width of the clamp and weigh area can be adjusted to suit different size animals. Idealadjustment will catch the sheep with the clamp wall parellel with the other side and minimisemovment of the clamp wall to catch a sheep.Size can also be adjusted differently from front to back if required.The length of the squeeze clamp wall ram can also be adjusted. In the middle of the moving wallthere are four adjustments for ram length. Adjust the ram so that the clamp wall movement isminimal to catch a sheep. Ideally the wall is vertical when a sheep is clampedAdjust this pin so the wall cannot touch the opposite side. This is a safety feature so that handsand fingers cannot be caught in the empty unit accidentally.Safety Note: when adjusting for large sheep the wall may be able to touch the opposite side. Becareful not to activate the clamp without a sheep in the clamp areaAdjusting the lead up raceThe lead up race can be adjusted for width atthe top and bottom. A slight V configuration isbest to prevent smaller animals turning around.9Te Pari Racewell HD3, HD4 & HD6 Operators Manual
