Premier 4000s Shearing Machine

Used for general flock shearing and for blocking show sheep, shearing llamas and alpacas. On cattle it can body clip, block show cattle or "peel" sale cattle effortlessly. Some folks have also used it to shear guard dogs so that they stay cool in the summer.

• Quiet- less motor "whine" is kinder to your ears and less likely to upset animals.
• Permanent rare-earth magnet motors enable more torque (power) and require less space and weight than ordinary motors.
• Less heat is produced by the permanent magnet motor and the fan forces air forward through our heads- so the heads run 20 degrees F cooler.
• Up to 20% shorter in length than other motors.
• Weighs up to 15% less than other motors.
• 15% smaller grip than other motors.
• Internal roller bearings instead of bushings (less heat, less wear and greater longevity).
• Sleek, low profile head design (sharp visual look that catches your eye and impresses observers).
• Suspended fork system (reduces risk of stripping the gear drive or breaking comb teeth).
• No cutter retainer or retaining spring (both caused hassles and broke too readily).
• Improved tensioning concept (spring clip is more effective at retaining tension than cupped washers).
• No more black plastic sides (these were prone to falling off and frustrating users).
• No need for 2 motors if you don't want them- 1 motor will run shear heads or clipper heads (but not both at the same time.)

Lighter, quieter and easier to handle.

See PDF above for tensioning and oiling instructions.

Failure to oil as often as recommended may lead to excess heat and premature wear and tear.

Warning: Unlike some other clipper motors, this motor will neither slow down nor sound different when oil is needed. But failure to oil will quickly cause damage to the blades and drive head. So you MUST apply oil by time instead of sound. Apply a small amount of oil every 3 minutes to the tips of the teeth and each side of the blade by dipping them into a dish of oil or pouring oil directly onto the teeth with a small oil container and every 10 minutes drip oil into the small hole behind the tension knob assembly. Excessive wear can occur if not oiled properly!

Covers all labor and parts for 3 years from the date of purchase. With the exceptions of abuse (i.e. dropping it) and neglect (failure to oil frequently enough).
