peer agreement (net): +1have the restrainer open (with the arms out), not closed (with the arms in) Explanation: I think this is probably the meaning. The head restraint is part of the box, and it's a statutory requirement (in the UK) for the stun box to have one. Since the usual kind, the yoke restraint, has arms which have to be open (positioned outwards) for the animal to enter the box and are then closed (positioned inwards) to immobilise the head, I think "out" probably means this: in the open position, otherwise it will obstruct the animal's entry. Details on head restraints in stun boxes here: http://www.hsa.org.uk/downloads/technical-notes/TN3-head-res... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2014-03-21 19:56:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So ready for use, yes, but not at hand, since it's not an item that is introduced into the box by the operator; it is part of the box itself. |

in your hand or at hand Explanation: As you correctly surmised. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2014-03-22 15:04:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On second thought, I'm not at all sure what is meant here. The restrainer is often integrated into a door, so perhaps the door is to be kept open? |

1 hr confidence:
have it removed or disabled/put out of use Explanation: whatever the type, I think they must be referring to some movable device which has to be put into action (e.g. lifted up, if it's hinged) only after the animal has entered the box, so as to make the latter operation easier and safer for the animal (it might get harmed... as absurd as it can be...). or better to make the operation possible in the first place, as some types of restrainer might actually prevent the access to the box, or the right positioning of the head (e.g. in the case of vertical bars). I am lucky enough not to be familiar with these proceduers though, so this is just my interpretation, and it may be wrong. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2014-03-21 19:06:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- put out of service -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day19 hrs (2014-03-23 12:22:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- have it removed in the sense of have it (the device) retracted, have it disabled in the same sense as well. this is what I meant, as per the explanation above, but only now the word that escaped me has crossed my mind! |

| Reference Reference information: https://www.google.com.jm/search?q="head restrainer" picture... I am assuming that the "head restrainer" would be similar to the one below: STRUT PATENT.COM Cattle head restraint - Patent # www.strutpatent.com - 2235 × 1440 - Search by image Cattle head restraint. Russell W. Kerns Patent: Cattle head restraint - Image: 1. Patent: D0612110. Filing date: Apr 27, 2009. Issue date: Mar 16, 2010 It would appear to be various types of "restraints" and yours maybe a "manual-type" restraint, hence "out", but essentially, I believe it means "ready". |
