Feeder Line; To Reinstall The Anchor And Bearing Assembly - Chore-Time ATF Installation And Operator's Manual

Operation

Feeder Line

Keep anti-roost cables tightly stretched. This increases the effectiveness of the electro-guard anti-roost system
and keep the pans from being tilted when birds push against them.
Remove all feed from the feeder when there are no birds in the house and when the building is washed and
disinfected.
Turn the feeders off prior to removing the birds from the house. This will allow them to clean the feed out of the
pans.
If the system is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove all the feed from the feeder lines and feeder
pans.
Disconnect power to the system to prevent accidentally starting the
system.
If the system must be disassembled, extreme caution must be used to
prevent injury from springing auger.
1.Disconnect power to the entire system.
2.Loosen the tube clamp on the bearing at the hopper end of the
system. Remove the tube clamp and bearing retainer.
3.Pull the anchor and bearing assembly and approximately
18'' [45 cm] of auger out of the boot.
CAUTION: Stand clear...the auger may spring back into the tube.
4.Place a clamp or locking pliers securely on the auger to prevent it from springing back into the auger boot.
5.Loosen the setscrew in the bearing assembly shaft and remove the anchor and bearing assembly from the
auger.

To reinstall the Anchor and Bearing Assembly:

1.Insert the anchor assembly into the auger until it touches the washer at the back of the anchor. Tighten the
setscrews in the center of the anchor until they touch the auger, then tighten a maximum of 1/2 turn. See Fig-
ure 61..
2.DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SET SCREWS.
3.Carefully remove the locking pliers while holding onto the anchor and bearing assembly and auger securely.
Slowly ease the auger back into the tube. Use caution. If the auger is allowed to spring back, the bearing race
may crack.
Install the bearing retainer and fasten with a tube clamp. Keep the bearing retainer flush with the end of the
anchor for safety.
