Installation
Installation of your assembled brooder involves two steps:
1.
Hanging the Unit
2.
Gas Tube Hookup
First we have an example drawing of how to hang the unit, then the next section covers gas
hookup, including checking that the gas supplied to the unit is at the correct pressure.
Remember to follow all safety precautions when hanging the unit, and hooking up the gas supply.

Hanging the Unit
6.1.1.
Hanging SPI Aluminum Brooder with 34” or 48” Canopy
(Note: The hanging bracket must be mounted to the canopy. Use the screw, washer,
and nut provided to mount the bracket as shown in the inset of Fig. 7)
. The hanging
kit for the 34” (48”) diameter brooder canopy includes a 11” (14”) chain and two 6”
chains, which must be attached as shown in Fig. 7 to ensure that the canopy will hang
level. Join the three chains in the center with a single “suspension” S-hook. The two 6”
chains will then attach (with S-hooks) to holes in the tops of the left and right hand
suspension rods. The 11” (14”) chain attaches to a hanging bracket as shown in Fig. 7.
Be sure to crimp the ends of the S-hooks with pliers before hanging the unit. This will
help minimize the chance of the hooks straightening out. If your brooder does not hang
level, adjust the length of the 11” (14”) chain as required to level the brooder. Use a
carpenter’s level to check that the brooder is level.

remains level at all times.
