Concrete Pad Preparation IMPORTANT: Be sure to select an area that is large enough to accommodate the Horse Walker Outer Ring with sufficient clearance all around. Area should also be level, and if possible, slightly higher than surrounding terrain to allow drainage, but not excessive runoff. Avoid low-level areas which could lead to ponding, puddles and depositing of sediments. Level grading surface location prior to installation will produce the best results.
Horse Walker Assembly Breather Installation VERY IMPORTANT! After locating and leveling Walker Base, Plug must be taken out & breather installed before power is turned on. The breather is shipped inside the Control Panel with the Remote Control and Antenna. Open Control Panel Box, remove breather and install BEFORE turning on Horse Walker power.
3. To set the Base Assembly to the Concrete Pad, attach a chain or strap to the lifting eyes on each side at the top of the Walker Base and raise the walker with a forklift or front end loader. NOTE: The Base weighs approximately 1200 lb. Be sure the equipment used for lifting the Base is able to handle this working weight. USE CAUTION TO PREVENT STRAP OR CHAIN DAMAGING BRUSH ASSEMBLY FOR HANGING PANELS (See picture at right). Make sure the walker is level, put anchor bolt nuts on and tighten.
6. Using the procedure in Step 5, attach all four Inner Arms to the Tree. Slide the end of the Outer Arm over the end of the Inner Arm until the two pieces butt together. When installing Outer Arms, be sure mounting bracket for Hanging Panel faces down. 7. Locate the four ⅝" Turnbuckles, four 184 ½" (1/2") Top Cables and four ½" Shackles. Attach the four top cables to the end of the outer arm with the ½" shackle. Unscrew the four turnbuckles to the full extension.
9. Lay out the two 162¼" (5/16") Inner Cables, then attach to the loops at the center of the arms by using the ⅜" Quick Links. These two cables will attach between opposite arms on either side of the Tree. TURNBUCKLE Inner Cable Inner Turnbuckle Cable Inner Cable TURNBUCKLE 3/8" QUICK LINK Inner Turnbuckle Cable TURNBUCKLE 10. Attach the two Inner Turnbuckle Cables from Step 8, between opposite arms using the ⅜" Quick Link on one end and the Turnbuckle on the other.

Hanging Panel & Stabilizer Assembly 1. After all cables are tightened, bolt the panel straps to the mounting ears on the arms. The bolts are assembled on the brackets of the Panel Straps. Remove the bolts from the end of the brackets and install in the mounting ears on the arm. The short Panel Strap will go into the inner mounting ear and the long Panel Strap will go into the outer mounting ear. (See examples pg. 08) There are more holes in the outer strap then there are in the inner strap.
CRITICAL DIMENSIONS STABILIZER BAR Allow 1 or 2 holes above Hanging Panel Approx. 4"- 6" clearance on Inner Ring Approx. 7"- 9" clearance on Outer Ring Make sure when assembling Round Pen that ample clearance is provided to allow Hanging Panel to rotate freely inside. Location of Inner Ring and Outer Ring is very important for proper operation of the Panel Walker. Review pages 06, 09 & 10 for proper clearances.
Round Pen Assembly Read Before Beginning: Determine location of Inner Bow Gate, and at 12' from center. Rotate the Horse Walker Tree around until there is a hanging panel in-line with the hinge side of Bow Gate. Be sure to install an Anchor Stake Clip in the bottom of each panel before locating and attaching panel. As you install the gate and curved panels, adjust the Round Pen panels around until there is approx. 4"- 6" of clearance between the hanging panel and curved panel on the Inner Ring and approx.
2' PANEL 4' PANEL ATTENTION: 5' BOW GATE TO ACHIEVE PROPER CLEARANCE AND SPACING, BE SURE TO INSTALL 2' & 4' FLAT PANELS OPPOSITE OF BOW GATE, WITH TWO (2) or THREE (3) CURVED PANELS IN BETWEEN. Outer Ring - Second 4. Following the procedure used for the Inner Ring, locate the Bow Gate for the Outer Ring, directly across from the Inner Bow Gate at 20'-10" from center. Connect the flat 3.5' Panel. Insert Anchor Stake Clip into bottom of panel leg.
Hanging Panel Electrical Connections 1. Attach each electric wire to each panel by placing the ¼" x ¾" bolts and nuts provided through the drilled hole on the Short Arm Attachment. (See Step 3 pg. 09) NOTE: Be sure enough slack is given for panel movement. Swing Panel several inches in each direction to be sure there is ample free-play in the wire. 2. Attach the other end of each wire to the base of the Tree (See image above). 3.

Optional Horse Walker Drag Installation The Optional Horse walker Drag will help maintain a stable and uniform base-surface inside the Horse Walker Ring. This can help prevent injury from uneven, low and/or slippery areas due to accumulation of rain water and runoff, and will smooth, distribute and level berming along the panels. Regular use of the drag will ensure the best conditions for equine safety, well-being and peak performance. CAUTION: • Do not enter the walker while Drag is in operation.
