Monteringsvejledning
The Ratchet-Style Calf Puller requires assembly before its first use. Follow these steps:
- Attach the Rods: Connect the standard 66-inch rod to the breechen. Ensure the connection is secure.
- Install the Jack Assembly: Slide the jack assembly onto the rod. The jack should move smoothly along the rod's grooves.
- Optional Rod Extension: If additional length is required, attach the 12-inch rod extension to the end of the 66-inch rod. This extends the total length to 78 inches.
- Endelig kontrol: Verify that all connections are tight and that the jack operates freely on the rod.
The rods feature smooth, clean grooves designed to minimize wear on the jack and ensure quiet operation.
Betjeningsvejledning
The Ideal Instruments 3020 Calf Puller is designed for single-person operation due to its large, comfortable handle. It offers two primary pulling options:
1. Zig-Zag Pull Option
The zig-zag pull mechanism is beneficial for preventing the calf's shoulders from locking in the pelvic opening during delivery. This method applies alternating pressure, which can help guide the calf more effectively.
- Engage the zig-zag setting on the jack.
- Apply steady, rhythmic pressure to the handle, allowing the jack to alternate its pull.
- Monitor the progress and adjust as needed.
2. Single-Pull Option
The single-pull option provides continuous, direct traction. This can be used when a steady, even pull is desired.
- Engage the single-pull setting on the jack.
- Apply steady pressure to the handle to generate continuous traction.
- Ensure the pull is consistent and controlled.
The breechen, into which the rods screw, provides stability during the birthing process, ensuring the puller remains securely positioned.
Opretholdelse
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your calf puller.
- Rensning: After each use, disassemble the steel rods and clean all components thoroughly. This prevents the buildup of debris and maintains hygiene.
- Smøring: Periodically apply a suitable lubricant to the jack mechanism and rod grooves to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
- Opbevaring: Store the calf puller in a clean, dry place. The rods easily disassemble for convenient storage.
- Inspektion: Regularly inspect the jack, rods, and breechen for any signs of wear, bending, or damage. Replace any compromised parts immediately.
