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
