Assemble and Suspend the Feeder Line
1. The 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 Hopper end of the line.
See
Figure 21
.
2. Connect the individual feeder tubes together by inserting the straight end of one tube as far as
possible into the belled end of the next tube.
The last Feeder Tube before the End Control Pan or
Mid Line Control pan needs to 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 22
.
4. Place a Tube Clamp Assembly or
Clamp/Anti-Roost Bracket at each
joint.
Figure 23
shows the standard
Clamp and Clamp/Anti-Roost Bracket.
Systems using 9’ or 10’ tubes require a
Clamp/Anti-Roost Bracket at every
fifth
joint.
Systems using 12’ tubes require a
Clamp/Anti-Roost Bracket at every
fourth
joint. All other joints in the
system use the standard Tube Clamp
Assembly.
