OPEN SYSTEM
The 111628E FodderPro 2.0 Full Feed System
is an open system, which means that the water
is not recycled for use
in the fodder system
.
Unlike a closed system where the water is
stored in a reservoir and recycled, the open
system requires a water source and a drain to
accept the unused water. The unused water can
be recycled for use in other applications such
as watering other plants; however,
to promote
healthy fodder growth
, it is not recommended
for reuse in the fodder system.
REQUIRED TOOLS
The following list identifies the main tools needed to
assemble the fodder system.
Additional tools and
supports may be needed.
• Tape measure and marker
• Variable speed drill (cordless with extra batteries
works best) and drill bit set with a 9/32" & 7/16" bit.
• Small hammer and gloves
• PVC Tube Cutting Tool
• Level 4' (or longer)
• Wrench set or adjustable wrenches
• Socket Set with Ratchet
• Straight Screw Driver
• 1-3/8" hole saw bit for the drain manifold
• Adjustable pliers
• 5/8" nut driver (or 5/8" socket)
• Ladder or work platform to work at the height of
the fodder system frame.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Wear eye protection.
• Wear gloves when handling metal tubes.
• Use a portable GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) when working with electric power tools
and cords.
