Mode of function
By actuating the trigger-lever

the firing-pin (1785). The gas pressure of the ignited cart-
ridge thrusts the stunning bolt (5) out of locking piece (4)
and through the skullcap of the animal stunning it (brain).

Putting into operation/Handling
1. Securing the device
The constructive layout of trigger-lever
(8) prevents the de-
vice from triggering off when not tensioned. It is also protected
against premature triggering off during tightening of firing-
pin
(1785) should fingers of user slip off tensioning grip (1786).
The trigger level (8) is additionally secured with a protective
strap (20) against unintentional triggering through impacts.
2. Cartridges
The VSG-9LC may be operated only in accordance with
DIN EN 16264 and only with cattle euthanization cartridges
of caliber 9x17 center-fire with C.I.P. approval in effect. Only
the color-coded loading value for the respective slaughter
animal size may be used. Load strengths (example of cartridges
from the RUAG company, type RSW):
