Assembling And Suspending The Feeder Tubes - Chore-Time Konavi Pullet Feeding System Installation And Operator's Manual

Assembling and Suspending the Feeder Tubes

1.The Feeder Tubes and Feeders may be laid out end to end in approximately the final location of the line. The belled end of each Tube should be toward
the Hopper end. (See Figure 19.)
2.Connect the individual feeder tubes together by inserting the straight end of one tube as far as possible into the belled end of the next tube. The last
Feeder Tube before the End Control Pan (Item 2) or Mid Line Control pan (Item 1) needs to be a Control Tube.
3.Use a marker to number the Feeder Tubes, beginning at the Hopper.
4.The first Feeder Tube at the hopper end of the feeder line would be 1, the second Feeder Tube would be 2, etc. Mark each Feeder Tube between the
Hopper and the Control Unit.
5.Install a Tube Clamp Assembly (Item 5) or Clamp and Anti-Roost Bracket (Item 8) at each joint as shown, but DO NOT tighten yet.
Important: Do not tighten down Tube Clamps at this time. They will be tightened down when the Tubes are indexed!
6.Systems require an Anti-Roost Bracket at every f i ft h joint.
7.Continue down the feeder line until each tube joint has a standard Tube Clamp or Clamp/Anti-Roost Bracket.
