4.1 Rope Routing Instructions
M1 CHUTE ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
Step 4: Extend the end of the rope out and
tie a loop in the rope which would fit the
operator’s hand. To keep the rope out of
the way while operating the chute, wrap the
rope around the cross tube.
Step 1: Tie the end
of the rope to the
loop located on
the side exit latch.
Step 2: Thread
the end of the
rope through
the two loops
located on the
top of the side
exit panel.
Step 3: Thread the end
of the rope through the
top of the pulley.
4.2 Side Exit Operation
The M1 Chute was designed with dual side
exits. Generally the operator will use the
side exit door opposite the control side of
the chute (i.e. The side the operator will
work from). The side door latch can be
locked down for transport by flipping the
lock lever to lock against the latch.
4.3 Drop Latch Operation
To gain access to the inside of the chute
while working cattle, lift the silencer latch
and lower the drop door. For best
performance, the latch should not hang
down past the middle of the round tube.
The side exit doors can be used for sorting animals or to
help exit the animal from the chute if they can’t exit from
the front. Release the side squeeze pressure before
opening the side exit door. Sometimes the pressure on
the door may be so great that pulling on the rope will not
lift the latch. Stand clear of the path of the door and the
animal during this procedure.
