Feeder Pan and Tube Assembly Process
1.Slide one Feeder Pan Assembly per hole onto the auger tubes.
IMPORTANT:
Install all the feeders on the tubes in the same orientation.
When sliding the feeders on the tubes, make sure the Quarter Turn Keys or Key-hole are on the same side of
the tube.
2.Rotate the auger tubes so that the seam is down, this holds the Pan Assemblies in place on the tubes.
See
“Installing Feeder on Feed Tube” on page 20
.
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.
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.
