Instructions for use – Pulley model 2024 – maximum safety type
Important safety instructions
You are receiving material that is defined as a training aid for dogs. The pulley conforms to the long-standing latest knowledge on safe dog running. Please follow the guidelines and advice below.
If you do not have to, do not stay near the pulley. The pulley is very safe if it is tightened really hard (not enough in the hand, it tightens to at least 5 Nm) and if you use a spike length appropriate to the terrain.
Always tighten the tines !!!with two wrenches and really tight!!!
Important advice
1) Push the pulley into the ground through the upper standing part, pulling out the same way or by the lower part. Never hammer the pulley, the bearings can become defined in the clearances and the pulley then goes stiff. Should this happen, grab the pulley by the center and strike the bottom or top part with the hammer once, depending on where the bearings have defined. The pulleys are machined to within hundredths of a millimeter. It is best to pre-drill the pulleys, a drill bit is included.
2) Do not apply pressure to the inner torque portion of the pulley.
3) Use a suitable spike length of 27 cm according to the stiffness of the substrate. I recommend pre-drilling the spikes with a 12mm/400mm AKU drill bit. The spikes are an optional accessory and can be retrofitted. The variant for deeper snow can be solved individually.
4) The pulley is made of high quality materials. The surface finishes (anodizing, galvanizing) have increased durability but are not resistant to rough handling.
5) Any scratches do not affect the functionality of the pulley.
6) Use a shank that has a good rake at the end to avoid unnecessary shocks. Although the pulley has two large bearings (37 mm), this may shorten the life of the pulley.
7) Always transport the pulley in the carrying case, clean it of coarse dirt before storing it. Before storing between actions, leave the case open to dry if necessary and wipe and clean the pulleys well with a damp cloth. Always allow the case to dry properly before closing. The suitcase is watertight so moisture has nowhere to escape.
Cleaning and maintenance
1) Clean by wiping with a soft damp cloth. (1 piece included)
2) Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners for cleaning.
3) Allow the pulley to dry after the event.
4) Preserve the threads on the pulley and prongs, wipe off any dirt.
5) Always place a soft pad under the pulleys when handling to avoid unnecessary scratching of parts.
6) When disassembling and reassembling if necessary, take care to ensure the exact position of the washers.
7) Remember to always tighten really hard, preferably in a vice. Tighten with a torque wrench to at
least 5 Nm.
Important: Never immerse the pulley in water. The pulley is waterproof but not watertight.
We wish you many happy and safe moments with your pets.
