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 24 shows the proper clamp location on
the tube joint. Do not tighten the clamp at this time.
5. Install the Hangers on the feed line tube at the 8'
[2.4 m] spacings determined by the suspension
drop lines. Figures 22 and 25 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.
6. Install Adjustment Leveler
within 6" [152 mm] of feeder
line. Figure 26 shows the proper
cable routing around the
Adjustment Leveler.
7. 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.
8. Raise the feeder line to a
convenient working height.
9. With the feeder line suspended,
measure from the floor or ceiling
to the auger tubes to level the
system.
10. 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.
- make sure the clamps are located, as shown in Figure 24.
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 26.
