Use:
The cattle brush has been designed and produced for use as a system for cleaning the coat of dairy cows. One
brush should be used for every 50/60 cows.
IT MUST NOT BE USED for any purpose other than cleaning the coat of cattle.

automatically proceeds to clean the animal without requiring assistance by staff.
•Bymeansofthestartmotorcontact,theboardcontrolsthestartandendofaworkcycle.
When the device is started, the electronic board begins a brush rotation procedure which
lasts 90 seconds. When the device is started again, the motor turns in the opposite direction
to the previous cycle so the brush is used evenly.

INSTALLAZIONE E MONTAGGIO
Assembly instructions:
The installation of THE Pendulum BRUSH consists of mounting it to the wall/girder using specific fastening systems,
followed by connection to the electrical system, which must be carried out by qualified personnel.
Optimal positioning and stable fastening are particularly important for the correct operation of the Agricow
pendulum brush. It is thus important to ensure that the mounting surface is stable and not exposed to vibrations
or movement.
Agricow advises against outdoor installation. Should this be necessary, it is mandatory to shelter
the box containing the electronic board and the box containing the sensor from rain or excessive
sunlight.
CAUTION:
The brush MUST be installed with the dedicated magnetothermal differential switch.
The procedures for installing the Pendulum brush are shown below.
The roller can be inserted in either direction.
The Pendulum brush is supplied with the machine body completely assembled and ready for installation,
excluding the assembly of the:
