10. Troubleshooting
Cartridge does not fire
Carefully loosen the headpiece ca. 2 turns and remove the cartridge after 30
seconds.
Check striking pin and the tip in particular, for deformation or contamination.
However, most often the cause of the fault lies with the blank cartridge.
Moisture can result in a complete failure – or also a significant reduction in
performance. Check the blank cartridge for corrosion and check the impression of
the striking pin tip on the percussion cap.
Unclear situation:
The cattle stunning apparatus must be sent in to turbocut for testing.
Bolt does not strike through deeply enough
Check whether the correct blank cartridge charge level has been selected and
check whether the interior of the device is badly contaminated. In the latter case,
clean thoroughly.
It must be possible to move the bolt backwards and forwards easily after removing
the bolt spring and the rubber buffer.
Hold the cattle stunning apparatus vertically with the exit opening downwards.
The bolt must be 4 mm inside the sleeve and must hold itself in place there. If it
reaches the edge of the exit opening or if it is already protruding from it, the
rubber buffer and the bolt spring must be replaced immediately (replacement-
set). An evasive movement by the animal or inadequately firm positioning of the
cattle stunning apparatus on the head of the animal can result in a failed shot.
The bolt does not spring back
The device was tilted when fired resulting in the bolt becoming jammed in the skull.
The bolt spring and/or rubber buffer could be worn. Components must be replaced
(replacement-set can be ordered).
Bolt spring and rubber buffer wear prematurely
This is often caused by the use of more powerful blank cartridges than stipulated.
This can also be an indication of unsuitable ammunition being used. Change the
cartridge to one appropriate for the type of animal.
Trigger cannot be moved
The annular spring has twisted. The opening of the annular spring must always be
opposite the trigger.
The trigger mechanism is defective or the trigger is deformed. Send the device in to
turbocut for checking immediately.
