  • Page 45: Management

    KONAVI® Feeding System Management Management This section provides you with valuable information concerning feeder operation and management. It is important that you read this information and understand how the feeding system was designed to operate. Once you become familiar with the system, you may custom operate it to fit your individual needs.

  • Page 46: To Operate

    Do not operate the feeding system on automatic (full demand feed) when the feed windows are open. Chore-Time recommends opening the feed windows for the first 3 to 5 days (max). The feeders will need to be operated at least 2 times a day for the first 5 days, and thereafter, 3 times a day or more as needed, while the windows are open.

  • Page 47: Controlling The Feeders (Optional Equipment)

    KONAVI® Feeding System Management As the birds grow and become acclimated to the feeder pans, the feeder will need to be raised to the grow-out position. Before raising the feeder, it is recommended to allow the birds to eat the feed level down below the feed flood windows.
