  c.  On the head gate, there is a short hammer and a long hammer between the handle   
    pivot and doors. These two hammers have a slot in them – check that there is free    
    movement for the bolt to move the entire length of this slot, and the lock nuts are    
    correctly tightened. 
  d.  The door hammers also contact the release pins on the lock plates when the head    
    gate handle is pulled back. Ensure there is an air gap between levers and release    
    pins when head gate is being pushed or in an idle position. 
6.  Check nuts and bolts on items and ensure that they are tightened correctly, and are not   
  binding.   
7.  All lock boxes and pivot points should be lubricated as needed with WD-40 Dry Lube.  

WARRANTY

required information to contact you in the event of a product or part recall. Any owner who 
fails to register their product warranty with Arrowquip through their Authorized Arrowquip 
Dealer voluntarily voids their warranty. Arrowquip will repair or replace products or parts of a 
product that prove defective due to manufacturer defect during the Warranty Period, at their 
sole discretion. This excludes defects resulting from normal wear and tear or product misuse.  
Warranty does not cover corrosion. NOTE: Any modification, in any fashion, to any Arrowquip 
equipment immediately voids the product warranty. This includes the parts contained therein.  
Eg. If a modification is made to the squeeze mechanism in a squeeze chute, and the sternum 
bar is bent afterwards, warranty for the damaged part, the sternum bar, contained in the 
modified equipment, the squeeze chute, is void. In addition, any remaining warranty for the 
squeeze chute and other parts contained therein, including, but not limited to, the head gate, 
locking system, Q-Catch system, and rollers, is null and void.
