Feeder Line Maintenance
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.
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
Figure 67.
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.
