INSTALL AND USE THE TWIN RING IN 4 SIMPLE STEPS
The Twin Ring is the ideal partner for the EquiJack. Designed to support loads of up to 30kg, it positions the EquiJack perfectly so that once lifted, the haynet is in the perfect position ready for tying.
Please visit our safety page before using your Twin Ring.
1. INSTALL THE TWIN RING IN YOUR STABLE
Position the Twin Ring at the desired height. Remember the haynet will hang from the bottom of the two rings. Fix your Twin Ring to the wall of your stable. It is imperative that both the surface and fixings you choose to secure your Twin Ring to must be suitably robust to support the weight of the haynet you are expecting it to lift.
2. ATTACH THE EQUIJACK
Before each use always check your Twin Ring for serviceability; checking all parts are in good working order before using.
Clip the EquiJack to the top ring.
3. HOOK THE HAYNET AND LIFT YOUR HAYNET
The haynet should be hooked 15-20cm below the mouth of the net. Every haynet is different so you may need to place your hook further down the net if you find your net does not lift high enough. The lower down the net you place the hook the higher the mouth of the net will rise.
Ensure the hook goes through both sides of the net so that it lifts evenly and no hay is spilt. If you are unable to place the hook through both sides of the net then tie the mouth of the net shut to avoid hay spillages.
Follow steps 3 and 4 of our EquiJack instructions.
4. TIE YOUR HAYNET AS NORMAL
When pulled to the top, your haynet should align with the bottom ring of the Twin Ring. The EquiJack will hold the net in place enabling you to easily tie your haynet.
To protect your horse, in the event they get caught in their haynet, do not tie the haynet directly to the bottom ring as it does not have a breakaway feature. Instead, attach a short length of twine or string (that you know will break under pressure) to the bottom ring then secure the haynet to this twine or string instead of fastening it directly to the ring..
Remove and store the EquiJack as per steps 6 and 7 of the Equijack instructions.
