Raise the feeder as the birds grow. This will automatically close the feed windows, unless they are locked open. Chore-Time recommends opening the feed windows in the pans for the first 5 to 10 days, for broilers. Open the feed windows in the pans for the first 10 to 14 days, for turkeys. The feeders will need to be operated at least twice a day for the first 5 days, thereafter pans may need to be resupplied 3 times a day or as birds eat feed level down.
Maintenance Maintenance Floor Feeding System Maintenance The Model C2 Plus and Model G Plus Feeders require minimum maintenance. However, a routine periodic inspection of the equipment will prevent unnecessary problems. Maintenance should be done by a qualified technician. ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER TO THE SYSTEM WHEN SERVICING OR MAINTAINING THE EQUIPMENT.
Maintenance Pan Breeder Feeder Mechanical Switch Adjustment procedure for Control Units Refer to Figure 56. 1) Adjustment Nut A. Turn the adjustment nut counter- clockwise until the switch clicks. B. Turn the adjustment nut clockwise until the switch clicks. C. Turn the adjustment nut counter- clockwise 3/4 turn.
