Anti-Roost Installation

Anti-Roost Installation
1.Unroll the bulk anti-roost cable. Note: If the cable is unrolled as
shown in Figure 73, taking 5 loops of the coil with one hand, then
changing hands to remove 5 loops as it is unrolled, it 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 1/16" cable clamp as shown in
Figure 74.
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 75.
5.Thread the ends of the cable
through the end of the spring. Pull
the cable tight so that there is 3/4"
to 1" [20 to 25 mm] of stretch in the
spring. Clamp the cable to form a
loop and cut off any excess. See
Figure 75.
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 75.
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 entire feeder line.
