Anti-Roost Installation

Anti-Roost Installation
1.Unroll the bulk anti-roost cable. Note: If the cable is unrolled as
shown in Figure 66, taking 5 loops of the coil with one hand, then
changing hands to remove 5 loops as it is unrolled, it will lie flat
during installation.
2.Start at the hopper end of the line and form a loop around
the anti-roost bracket. For best results, make a double
loop around the anti-roost insulator in the center groove
of the insulator and fasten with a 1/16" cable clamp as
shown in Figure 67.
3.Insert the cable in the insulator on the top of each Grill
Support between the hopper and the next anti-roost
bracket.
4.Attach a spring in the center groove at the second anti-
roost bracket and cut the cable at this point. See Figure
68.
5.Thread the ends of the cable through the end
of the spring. Pull the cable tight so that there
is 3/4" to 1" [20 to 25 mm] of stretch in the
spring. Clamp the cable to form a loop and cut
off any excess. See Figure 68.
6.Attach the cable to the insulator. For best
results, make a double loop around the anti-
roost insulator in the center groove of the
insulator and fasten with a 1/16" cable clamp
as shown in Figure 68.
7.Run the cable to the next insulator, attach a
spring in the center groove at the anti-roost
bracket and cut the cable at this point. The
cable should be positioned in the insulator
built into the top of each grill support along the feeder line.
8.Repeat this installation until the anti-roost cable is installed along the entire feeder line.
9.At the control unit, after clamping the cable to the spring, cut the cable about 8" to 10" [200 to 250 mm]
longer than necessary. Feed the end of the cable through the center of the spring, around the first insulator on
the control unit, and clamp the cable using the cable clamp supplied with the control unit. See Figure 69.
10.Install the wire form on the control unit insulators. Be sure the guard snaps into the retainers molded into the
insulators. See Figure 69.
