To manually set the drafting direction
Use the draft switches on the control box to set the drafting direction if you would like to
override an automatic drafting decision or you are in Manual Release Mode and you are
making all of the drafting decisions yourself.
Wait for the unit to capture the animal then switch the appropriate gate switch to set up the
drafting direction. Once the drafting gate has set to the desired direction, hold the clamp
release button to release the animal.
Once the animal has been seen by the exit sensor the clamp will remain open and the next
animal will be captured.
Using without weighing (no scale attached)
Occasionally you may wish to use the Sheep Handler without the weigh scale indicator
attached, (e.g. you want to dag your sheep). The Sheep Handler can still operate without the
weigh scale indicator.
Hold this button to release an
animal manually.
