PNEG-499 Cycle Plus Pan Feeder 37
Drop Cable Installation (Continued)
Cut the drop cable long enough for installation from the winch cable, through the hanger to the cable
adjusting clip. The clip should be located within 6" above the hanger so the feeder line can be raised
without interference when the house is cleaned.
Begin installing the drops at the winch and proceed to the end of the feeder line. (See Figure 5AL.)
IMPORTANT: Following the installation of all the drops, check the drop cables before raising the feeder.
This cable must be on all the pulleys before raising the feed line.
Figure 5AL
On the ends of the feeder line, clamp off the ends of the winch cable around a truss. Use a cable clamp
sleeve to clamp the drop cable to the winch cable and thread it through the tube hanger and adjustment
clip. Cut the winch cable behind the cable clamp sleeve.
Level the feed line using the adjustment clips. Excess drop cable should be trimmed close to the clamps
to prevent ground faults of the shocker system. For proper installation, the feed line must hang straight
and reasonably level. Winch systems should be carefully planned to keep all cables clear of building
components, trusses, electric wiring, and gas and water lines. Drops to the feeders should be straight so
as not to impose improper loads on the feeder when raised.
(See Figure 5AM.)
Keep tension on hanging cables at all times to prevent the pans from resting in the litter.
