Feeder Pan And Tube Assembly Process; Assemble And Suspend The Feeder Line - Chore-Time H2 Installation And Operator's Manual

MODEL H2™ Feeding System

Feeder Pan and Tube Assembly Process

1.Slide one Feeder Pan Assembly per hole onto the auger tubes.
IMPORTANT: Install all the feeders on the tubes in the same orientation.
The single strut of each feeder should be on the same side of the auger tube throughout the system. Additionally,
if Chutes or Collars are to be used with the Model H2 Feeders, they must be installed at this time. Feed
Chutes and Flood Colors must be installed as specified on page 22.
2.Rotate the auger tubes so that the seam is down, this holds the Pan Assemblies in place on the tubes, see figure
29.
1) With seam of the feeder tube
up, slide the pan assembly on the
feeder tube. Position one (1)
feeder pan over each hole on the
feeder tube.

Assemble and Suspend the Feeder Line

1. The auger tubes and feeders may be laid out end to end in approximately the final location of the line. The
expanded end of each tube should be toward the Hopper end of the line, see figure 30.
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.
3. To achieve total feed drop out all along the system, the Chore-Time
logo should be centered at the crown of the tubes and all the Hangers
should be installed as shown in Figure 31.
If desired, the tubes may be indexed, allowing only partial feed drop
out of the tubes closest to the hopper. Refer to page 36 for tube
indexing instructions.
4. Place a Tube Clamp Assembly or Clamp/Anti-Roost Bracket at each
joint. Figure 32 shows the standard Clamp and Clamp/Anti-Roost
Bracket.
Systems using 9' or 10' tubes require a Clamp/Anti-Roost Bracket at
every joint.

Systems using 12' tubes require a Clamp/Anti-Roost Bracket at every
MF830E
2) Rotate the feeder tube after
the feeder pan assemblies are in
place. This will lock the feeder
pan assemblies in place.
