Safety Alert Symbols
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a potential
hazard to personal safety involved and extra safety precaution must be
taken. When you see this symbol, be alert and carefully read the message
that follows it. In addition to design and conguration of equipment, hazard
control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Ow n er/op e rat o r can pr e v ent an d ma y be re s pon s i ble fo r ac ci d ent s or in jur i es
occurring to other people, themselves, and/or property and equipment.
Thoroughly read and understand the installation, operation, references and
other material supplied with the Panel Walker. If the installer or operator
cannot read English, it is the owner’s responsibility to explain this material
to them.
We strongly recommend that children are not allowed to operate
or play on this equipment. Do not allow untrained people to
operate or service equipment.
Installation / Operation Safety
• Read and understand the installation instructions completely before
beginning installation. Work in a clean, dry, level area.
• Make sure any individuals assisting with the installation of this
equipment understand the instructions as well. Priefert recommends
the use of good quality tools of the type noted in this manual.
• Priefert also recommends wearing personal protective clothing while
assembling this Panel Walker including gloves and safety glasses,
as well as, arm, leg, head and foot protection.
• Allow only trained, qualied individuals to operate forklifts, tractors,
loaders or other vehicles used during installations; and that those
individuals are familiar with the operation of the specic vehicle used
during installations.
• Operate equipment only during fair weather conditions.
• Disconnect power before performing any service or repairs to the
equipment. Remove all tools used during installation from equipment
before operation.
• Use care around and while handling support cables. Entanglement in
support cables can cause death or serious injury.
Horse Walker and Equine Safety
Due to the inherent dangers associated with equestrian activities, many
states have adopted statutes pertaining to the liabilities of horse owners,
handlers, and individuals involved in equestrian activities. Some states
also require that you post signs at your facility with the specic “Warning
Law” on them, for personal and/or professional equine activities. Posting
these warning signs may help protect you and/or your organization in the
event an accident or injury does occur. Please check the legal statute
information in your state.
Horses can be easily spooked and this is when injuries may occur. One in
three horse-related injuries happen when the rider/handler is dismounted.
These injuries typically involve the handler being kicked or stepped on by
the horse. Making sure all equine handlers are aware of the dangers posed
by frightened horses and what actions can scare them can help prevent
injuries. Some examples of things that can spook a horse include, sudden
or unexpected movements; loud or sudden noises such as mobile phones
or horns; other animals (i.e. unleashed and/or barking dogs) and biting
insects.
Priefert advises that horses not be saddled or tacked
when in the Walker, and recommends halters be removed
to prevent possible entanglement with moving parts.
Additional information is provided in the Appendix at the
end of this manual.
Safe Operation Guidelines
• Use caution introducing horses to the walker until the horse becomes
familiar with its operation.
• Do not let children play in or on horse walker or its components.
• Do not allow children to operate walker or its components.
• Do not sit, stand or climb on panels during operation
• Do not stick arms or legs through the panels while the walker is
in motion.
• Do not touch hanging panels while power is on; panels are electried.
• Make sure all guests or observers are clear of panels, gates and
moving components prior to walker operation.
• Be sure both inner and outer gates are closed before operating
walker. Never operate walker with gates open.
• Be sure the walker is completely stopped and power is o before
opening gates or entering the walker.
• Be cautious to prevent being conned between the panels whenever
horses are in the walker. Be cautious to prevent being caught
between the horse and panels.
• Be sure that horses introduced to the walker are only handled by
those familiar with equine behavior.
• Do not attempt to ride horses while in walker.
• Wearing proper clothing can help prevent injuries.
• Always take into consideration the age, physical condition and
specic characteristics of horses within the Walker to prevent
exceeding their limitations.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to select an area that is large enough to accommodate the Horse Walker Outer Ring with
sucient clearance all around. Area should also be level, and if possible, slightly higher than surrounding terrain
to allow drainage, but not excessive runo. 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.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: If Optional Spray Kit is to be installed, waterline should be buried during this step of the
installation process. Priefert recommends Sch40 PVC buried below the freeze level for your location. Determine
the water supply location for the Spray Kit, and stub up and cap for that installation. (See Page 21)

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

To attach Tree, use a chain or strap
to attach to the lifting eye at the top of
the walker Tree. Pick up the Tree and
slide it over the main shaft.
When the Tree is all the way down,
rotate to make sure it slides down and
locks in place on the main shaft.
USE CAUTION NOT TO
DAMAGE BRUSH ASSEMBLY
AS SHOWN IN PREVIOUS STEP.
BRUSH ASSEMBLY WILL CONTACT
BASE OF TREE.
5.
To install the arms of the walker, attach the Inner Arms to the Tree
with the ⅞" x 5" bolts provided. Raise the Inner Arm and bolt it to
the Support Strap with the ⅝" x 1½" bolts.
Note: Do not install the nuts for the 7/8" x 5" bolts until all arms have been
installed. This will allow bolts to slide out to allow the next arm bolt
to be installed. Once all arms have been installed, then install and
tightened all nuts.

Attach the four top cables to the end of the outer arm with the ½" shackle.Unscrew the four turnbuckles to the full extension.
Attach one end of the turnbuckle to the cable. Then, bolt the other end of the turnbuckle to the loop at the top of the tree.
This will require assistance from someone, or a lifting device, to raise the outer end of the arm to allow enough slack to
bolt the turnbuckle to the tree.
