1ST WEEK
Set the feed level ring assembly in position 1.
Winch the feed level ring up, so that the bottom side is about
1cm under the edge of trhe MAX C pan.
2ND WEEK
Lower the feed level ring 4 clicks of the winch.
3RD WEEK
Lower the telescopical tube an extra 2 clicks of the winch
4TH WEEK AND MORE :
Lower the telescopical tube further to a minimum position.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF THE ANTIPERCH WIRE
The steel cables above the lines have a double function :
-- for one thing they bring the pans back into a horizontal
position by spring tension ;
-- for another they serve as antiperch wires under charge.
So you must tighten them in such a way that they don’t touch
the tubes unless birds perch on the line.
Earth the feeding system by means of the wiring of the pow-
er unit or by means of a separate earth connection, so that the
antiperch system will properly function.
The electro--charger must function on a separate circuit. You
must have the possibility to disconnect it by a switch close to
the door so that birds stay calm when you enter the house.
WHEN STARTING A NEW FLOCK :
Check operation of your system before placing the birds.
More particularly, take care that :
-- all feed level tubes are at the same level (always keep
feed level as low as possible)
-- all switches and sensors react promptly
-- the control pans are properly adjusted (low feed level)
-- the antiperch wire is still stretched (springs must be
stretched 5--7cm.
-- there are no leaks in the feed supply system
-- there is no old, stale and/or tainted feed in the bin
-- the feeder lines are well aligned. Especially the power
unit and the hopper must be well aligned and at the
same level.
