Because the first 7-10 days of a broiler’s life are critical, the Hi-Lo Pan Feeder rests on the house floor and presents a lip height of 2.1" (5.334 cm) the average height of traditional “feeder lids”. Young chicks can easily get in and out of the pan and are eating out of the pan from day one.

It is essential to confirm that the building is able to carry this extra load. Consult a structural engineer to check the building strength. Details of the likely weight of the feed system are given in the calculations below. However, if there is any uncertainty, contact your dealer or Cumberland for assistance with calculating the weight.

7. Installation Installation Sequence This manual outlines the recommended sequence for the installation of the Hi-Lo Pan Feeder System. Observing this sequence provides the safest and easiest method of installation. Do not connect the system to the electrical mains until the final stage of installation.

(See Figure 7D.) 3. Slide the bottom piece of the two-piece drop tube into the top piece, making certain the tabs (A) are locked in place. (See Figure 7E.) Ref # Description Tabs Bottom Figure 7E PNEG-250 Hi-Lo and PRO-1 Pan Feeders...
Page 21
Figure 7F 5. To remove the bottom of the two-piece drop tube, squeeze the tabs (A) at the end of the assembly and pull the two (2) pieces apart. (See Figure 7G.) Figure 7G PNEG-250 Hi-Lo and PRO-1 Pan Feeders...
Page 22
Optimal results will be obtained by maintaining as shallow of feed depth as possible, while maintaining sufficient feed flow ability. 7. Place the clip (F) into the preferred notch (E). The standard setting is with three (3) notches visible. (See Figure 7I.) Figure 7I Ref # Description Notches Clip PNEG-250 Hi-Lo and PRO-1 Pan Feeders...

Flooding Applications For flooding applications, the feeder can be used in either a locked position, which prevents the pan from collapsing or in a collapsed position to take advantage of the Hi-Lo feature. Uncollapsed Pan Lift locking collar (C2000212) and use the tabs on both the locking collar and lower drop tube (C2000210)
Page 28
Collapsed Pan Simply leave the locking collar in its assembled or lowered position to allow the pan to collapse into the grill for standard Hi-Lo operation as shown in Figure 7Z. When the feed line is lowered to ground level, the pan is raised into position to open the flooding windows as shown in Figure 7AA.
7. Installation PRO-1 Retrofit Converting a standard Hi-Lo feeder to the PRO-1 feeder is simple with the use of the PRO-1 retrofit kit (C2000235). The kit contains the drop tube extension (C2000209), lower drop tube (C2000210), feed level adjustor (C2000211) and the locking collar (C2000212). Simply remove the existing Hi-Lo feed level stand (7098855) and Hi-Lo feed level (7098854) and follow the instructions at the beginning of this section.

Hi-Lo End Control Pan Assembly with Spinner Motor The Hi-Lo end control pan has three (3) main sensing components: The PC board (inside the electrical box of the end control pan), the solid state relay (mounted on the back side of the PC board) and the spinner motor (located in the “throat”...
Page 58
Never remove the lid without first disconnecting and locking out the power. The Cumberland Hi-Lo control pan features a starting pulse on the spinning sensor motor (in the control pan feed level) that enhances operation. When feed is present, the spinning sensor motor applies a constant pressure against the feed with a spike of power every few seconds (the starting pulse).
Page 59
7. Installation Hi-Lo Center House Control Pan Wiring 1. Attach switch box assembly (A) (supplied with center house pan) to lid of end control pan (C). 2. Run 20 gauge two (2) wire cord (not supplied) from the center house into the switch box.

7. Repeat the preceding steps of attaching sections of anti-roost wire until the control pan is reached. (See Figure 7DJ.) 8. Attach the anti-roost bracket onto the three (3) insulators onto the lid of the control pan as shown in Figure 7DJ. Figure 7DJ PNEG-250 Hi-Lo and PRO-1 Pan Feeders...
7. Installation Hopper Level Control Switch Cumberland’s feed level control switches are designed to provide automatic control for the fill system on any hopper-fed feeding system. The switch should be mounted on the back (bearing) side of the feed hopper, using the provided mounting hardware. Mounting the switch as close as possible to the drop from the fill system will provide optimum operation.
Choose Correct Winching System Cumberland strongly recommends the use of the correct winching system for the feed line. The winch must have the capacity to lift the weight of the feed line. If in doubt, please contact Cumberland or your dealer.
