All farm machinery and equipment is potentially dangerous. Careless use of any 
Arrowquip livestock equipment may cause injury or damage to persons, cattle, or 
property. Arrowquip has taken precautions in the design and manufacturing of this 
product to ensure that it is safe and user-friendly. Therefore, the user must assume 
all responsibility and risk associated with the possession and use of the cattle 
squeeze crush.

   

 

      

   

      WARNING: READ BELOW BEFORE OPERATION.  

Ensure the operator understands the contents of this manual before using the 
cattle squeeze crush.
1.  Do not wear loose-fitted clothing.
2.  Ensure the cattle squeeze crush is on a firm, level, dry surface that is free of 
  rocks and other trip hazards. A level concrete pad flush with the ground with    
  the crush bolted to the concrete is strongly recommended.
3.  Do not enter the vet cage until the animal is secured in the head bail and the    
  rump bar has been placed so that the cow cannot back up. 
4.  Do not stand in front of the head bail while operator is moving the cattle  

 

  through the squeeze crush. 
5.  DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 NEAR AN    

 

  OPERATING MACHINE.
6.  Follow safe cattle handling procedures in other areas of the yard so that cattle  
  are more docile in the cattle crush. 
7.  Do not make any modifications to Arrowquip equipment. Non-factory   

 

  modifications to our equipment can reduce the safety for the operator and  

 

 livestock.
