Feeder Line Assembly and Suspension
Continue down the entire length of the feeder line so
that every joint is secured with a standard Clamp or
Clamp/Anti-Roost Bracket. Figure 29 shows the proper
clamp location on the tube joint. Do not tighten the
clamp at this time.
4.Install the Hangers on the feed line tube at the 8'
[2.4 m] spacings determined by the suspension
drop lines. Figures 27 and 30 show the proper
installation of the Hanger Assembly. Make sure the
outlet drop hole is downward when the Hangers are
installed, otherwise feed will not be allowed to
drop into the feeder pan.
5.Install Adjustment Leveler within 6" [152 mm] of
feeder line. Figure 31 shows the proper cable
routing around the Adjustment Leveler.
6.Following the installation of all drops, check drop
cables before raising feeder line. Cable must be
tracking properly on all pulleys before raising the
feeder line.
7.Raise the feeder line to a convenient working
height.
8.With the feeder line suspended, measure from the
floor or ceiling to the auger tubes to level the
system.
9.Before tightening each clamp:
-make sure each tube is level (not
sagging, sloping, etc.).
-make sure straight end of each tube is
fully inserted in belled end of next tube.
-if providing total drop out, tubes
should be rotated so that the Chore-
Time Logo is on crown of tube.
10.make sure the clamps are located, as
shown in Figure 29.
11.Finally, tighten the Tube Clamps on
the feeder tubes. Clamp the joints
securely, but do not crush the tubes. Re-
adjust all Adjustment Levelers as
needed and trim off excess cable as
shown in Figure 31.
