Feeder Line
Keep anti-roost cables tightly stretched. This increases the effectiveness of the electro-guard anti-roost system and
keep the pans from being tilted when birds push against them.
Remove all feed from the feeder when there are no birds in the house and when the building is washed and
disinfected.
Turn the feeders off prior to removing the birds from the house. This will allow them to clean the feed out of the pans.
If the system is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove all the feed from the feeder lines and feeder
pans.
Disconnect power to the system to prevent accidentally starting the system.
If the system must be disassembled, extreme caution must be used to prevent injury
from springing auger. Refer to
1.Disconnect power to the entire system.
2.Loosen the Tube Clamp on the bearing at the hopper end of the system.
Remove the Tube Clamp and Bearing Retainer.
3.Pull the Anchor and Bearing Assembly and approximately
18''
[45 cm]
of auger out of the boot.
CAUTION:
Stand clear...the auger may spring back into the tube.
BE CAREFUL WHEN WORKING WITH AUGER!
4.Place a clamp or locking plier securely on the auger to prevent it from
springing back into the auger boot.
5.Loosen the setscrew in the bearing assembly shaft and remove the Anchor and
Bearing Assembly from the auger.
To reinstall the Anchor and Bearing Assembly:
1.Insert the Anchor Assembly into the
auger, guide the tip of the auger between
the two roll pins in the center of the
anchor. Continue to guide the auger
until the tip of the auger hits the flat
washer. Tighten the setscrews in the
center of the anchor until they touch
2.
Carefully
remove the locking pliers
while holding onto the Anchor and
Bearing Assembly and auger securely.
Slowly
ease the auger back into the tube. Use caution. If the auger is allowed to spring back, the bearing race
may crack.
Install the Bearing Retainer and fasten with a tube clamp. Keep the Bearing Retainer flush with the end of the
anchor for safety.
