Anti-Roost Installation - Chore-Time ATF Installation And Operator's Manual

Anti-Roost Installation

1.Unroll the bulk anti-roost cable.
Note: If the cable is unrolled as shown in Figure 51,
taking 5 loops of the coil with one hand and then
changing hands to remove 5 loops as it is unrolled the
cable will lie flat during installation.
2.Start at the hopper end of the line and form a loop
around the anti-roost bracket. For best results,
make a double loop around the anti-roost
insulator in the center groove of the insulator and
fasten with a 3/32" cable clamp as shown in
Figure 52.
3.Insert the cable in the insulator on the top of each
grill support between the hopper and the next
anti-roost bracket.
4.Attach a spring in the center groove
at the second anti-roost bracket and
cut the cable at this point, (See
Figure 53.)
5.Thread the ends of the cable through
the end of the spring. Pull the cable
tight so there is 3/4" to 1" (20 to 25
mm) of stretch in the spring. Clamp
the cable to from a loop and cut off
any excess, (See Figure 53.)
6.Attach the cable to the insulator. For
best results, make a double loop
around the anti-roost insulator in the
center groove of the insulator and
fasten with a 1/16" cable clamp as
shown in Figure 53.
7.Run the cable to the next insulator,
attach a spring in the center groove
at the anti-roost bracket and cut the
cable at this point. The cable should
be positioned in the insulator built
into the top of each grill support along the feeder line.
8.Repeat this installation until the anti-roost cable is installed along the feeder line.
