Primary Wiring
ALL WIRING SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
System operates on 230V 1 phase power only. 230V Power must be supplied to main control box.
NOTE:
Ground wire must be supplied to overhead control box to provide proper grounding for
winch motor.
1. Open main control box and note colors of wire connected to terminals 1 through 4. The SJ cord that
is connected to these terminals should be run up to the overhead control box.
2. Connect the wires from the SJ cord to the terminal strip in the overhead control box. Terminal 1
should go to terminal 1, terminal 2 should go to terminal 2, etc.
NOTE:
Use the terminal strip in the overhead control box that is not connected to the winch motor.
3. The feeder line fill system and the feeder line should get power from terminal 4 and terminal 5 in main
control box. THIS WORKS ON SYSTEMS THAT ARE WIRED 220 VOLT 1 PHASE ONLY. For other
systems, consult the factory.

Setting the Microswitches
The span of winching operations is determined by the space between the microswitches and can be
increased or decreased by loosening the wing nuts on the microswitches and adjusting then closer or
farther apart.
1. Raise the system to the feeding height required by the breed of bird (18" to 24" from floor). The height
should be comfortable for the males but not too high for the females.
2. Slide the switch block against the activator arm of the down microswitch until switch clicks. Mark
location of black on cable.
3. Release the tie back end of the control cable at the main cable. Pull the cable partially out at the drop
end until you have access to the marks on the cable.
4. Pull the switch block to its marked location and tighten the cable clamps on each side of the block.
Return the switch block to its position inside the channel. Reconnect the tie back end to the
main cable.
5. Raise the system to the desired height for filling.
6. Loosen wing nut holding the up microswitch. Slide switch assembly back against switch block until
activator arm of microswitch is activated by switch block and retighten wing nut.
IMPORTANT:
THE CABLE MUST BE PLACED IN THE DRUM NOTCH DURING IT’S
FIRST REVOLUTION.
