Shocker Wire Installation (Continued)
The shocker wire must be looped around the bottom of the insulator packages. This will provide better
alignment coming from the feeder assemblies.
Run jumper wires around the unloaders to complete the loop.
After the entire shocker cable has been installed, connect a circuit from the cable to the shocker electrical
controller. (See the wiring instructions included with the shocker). Be sure to ground the controller through
an all metal water pipe or other adequate means.
(See Figure 5AC.)
NOTE: Loose ends of chain or cable must never be allowed to touch the shocker wire. There should be
no loose ends extending beyond the cable clamp sleeves.

Fill System Feed Level Control Switch
Instructions 07091400 and FLX-3802
Both of Cumberland's feed level control switches are designed to provide automatic control for the fill
system on any hopper-fed feeding system. The switch should be mounted on the incoming side of the
second feed hopper from the fill tanks using the provided mounting hardware. Mounting the switch as
close as possible to the drop from the fill system will provide optimum operation.
The bottom of the fill system drop should be positioned in the hopper so feed will activate the switch yet
not run over the side of the hopper.
When installed, the switch must hang vertically or at a slight angle so that gravity will cause the switch
paddle to activate and close the operating circuit. Bend the mounting bracket as necessary to accomplish
this. Be careful not to deform the paddle when bending the arm. Refer to the wiring diagram
on Page 43
for proper wiring instructions.
NOTE: Before installing switch in hopper, remove tape from around fabric and paddle. This is for shipping
purposes only.
