Assemble And Suspend The Feeder Line - Chore-Time REVOLUTION 8 Installation And Operator's Manual

Feeder Line Assembly and Suspension

Assemble and Suspend the Feeder Line

1.The actuator, auger tubes and feeders may be laid out end to end in approximately the final location of the
line. The belled end of each tube should be toward the (3) Hopper end of the line. See Figure 35. Be sure
to have the correct number of tubes and the actuator is in the center of the section to be controlled by an actu-
ator. Place the actuator between the tubes near a suspension drop. All actuators must be installed in the
same direction. One actuator handles up to 96 feeder pans with the actuator placed dividing the (96) pans
approximately in half.
2.Connect the individual feeder tubes together by inserting the straight end of one tube as far as possible into
the (2) belled end of the next tube. The last Feeder Tube before the (1) End Control Pan or Mid Line
Control pan must be a Control 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 36.
4.Place a Tube Clamp Assembly or
Clamp/Anti-Roost Bracket at each
joint. Figure 37. shows the standard
Clamp and Clamp/Anti-Roost
Bracket.
Systems using 9' or 10' [2.7 or 3 m]
tubes require a Clamp/Anti-Roost
Bracket at every fifth joint.
Systems using 12' [3.7 m] tubes
require a Clamp/Anti-Roost Bracket
at every fourth joint. All other joints
in the system use the standard Tube
Clamp Assembly.
