REVOLUTION® 8 Rooster Feeder Variable Brood Feeding System
General Operation of the REVOLUTION
The REVOLUTION® 8 has been designed to feed adult roosters.
The Non-Indexed feeder system should be run while the feeder is raised in the air. At feeding time the feeder will
then be lowered to eating height for the roosters.
The Indexed feeder system does not need to be raised in the air to fill the feeder pans.
With Window Feeders, the amount of feed per pan can be adjusted by using the actuator and feed level settings.
Follow the guide below to set up the feeding system.
With Non-Window Feeders, the amount of feed per pan can also be adjusted with the feed level settings.

REVOLUTION Rooster Feeder Operation Guide
•Feed weight per cubic ft. Example 40 lbs per cubic ft.
1.Determine the amount of feed to be fed out to the birds. Example 320 lbs.
2.Determine the number of feed pans on the Rooster feed-line. Example 88
3.Divide the feed by the number of feed pans. Example 320 lbs/88 pans = 3.63 lbs per pan
4.Use the chart below to determine the setting for the actuator and feed level adjustment.
Feed Level setting
Using 3.63 lbs per pan and 40 lbs per cubic foot the setting for the actuator will be #5 with the a feed level
setting of #4. This example is a guide only.
5.After the feeder has been set run feed in the system.
6.Check the weight in the feed pan.
7.Adjust the setting if necessary to reach the desired amount of feed.

End Control Pans

At installation time, the end control pan of the feeder was placed to be 10 feet [3 m] from the end of the building
to allow the birds access around the end of the feeder line. It is important the feed setting of the end control pan
be the same as the rest of the feeder pans so the birds activate the feeder.
