and drink. Chickens will peck at stainless steel pin to release more water.
Note: The specialized side-mount nipples are designed to be drip-free and freeze free. That means the
shaft, spring, and seal will stay unfrozen and continue to activate in freezing temperatures. The red outer
plastic reservoir is not heated and you may see a little ice buildup in that area. This is normal.

approximately 1 hour to re-set the thermostat. (3) After 1 hour, immediately plug unit into a receptacle outlet.

"click" off. The drinker is operating correctly.
