Chore-Time H2 PLUS Installation & Operator's Instruction Manual page 17

Continue down the entire length of the
feeder line so that every joint is secured
with a standard Clamp or Clamp/Anti-
Roost Bracket. Figure 29 shows the
proper clamp location on the tube joint.
Do not tighten the clamp at this time.
5. Install the Hangers on the feed line tube
at the 8' [2.4 m] spacings determined by
the suspension drop lines. Figures 27
and 30 show the proper installation of
the Hanger Assembly. Make sure the
outlet drop hole is downward when the
Hangers are installed, otherwise feed
will not be allowed to drop into the
feeder pan.
6. Install Adjustment Leveler
within 6" [152 mm] of feeder
line. Figure 31 shows the proper
cable routing around the
Adjustment Leveler.
7. Following the installation of all
drops, check drop cables before
raising feeder line. Cable must
be tracking properly on all
pulleys before raising the feeder
line.
8. Raise the feeder line to a
convenient working height.
9. With the feeder line suspended,
measure from the floor or ceiling
to the auger tubes to level the
system.
10. Before tightening each clamp:
- make sure each tube is level (not
sagging, sloping, etc.).
- make sure straight end of each
tube is fully inserted in belled
end of next tube.
- if providing total drop out, tubes
should be rotated so that the
Chore-Time Logo is on crown
of tube.
- make sure the clamps are
located, as shown in Figure 29.
Finally, tighten the Tube Clamps
on the feeder tubes. Clamp the
joints securely, but do not crush
the tubes. Re-adjust all
Adjustment Levelers as needed
and trim off excess cable as
shown in Figure 31.
