Electrical Safety
An adequate and safe power supply to the Pan Feeder System unit is essential for safety. A competent
and qualified electrician must undertake all electrical wiring. All wiring is to be installed according to the
National Standards and Regulations relevant to your Country and Region.
A main isolator should be installed with the Pan Feeder System and is essential for safety. This should be
installed as indicated in the enclosed installation instructions and in accordance with the relevant codes
and directives.
Users Manual
This manual contains information and instructions essential to the safe installation and use of the Pan
Feeder System. Read this manual thoroughly
before
attempting any installation or use of the Pan Feeder
System. Keep this manual with the Pan Feeder System or in a location where it can be readily accessed.
Failure to read this manual and its safety instructions is a misuse of the equipment.
Structural Safety
Raising and lowering the Pan Feeder System in a poultry house imposes additional load on the building.
It is essential that the building is able to bear this additional load. Consult a structural engineer to verify
the building’s load capacity. Likely/estimated weights of the Pan Feeding System are provided in the table
in the Installation Manual.
Correct Use of the Pan Feeder System
The Pan Feeder System is designed solely for the purpose of conveying granular or powdered agricultural
feed products for poultry feeding. Use of the system in any other way is a misuse of the system and may
endanger safety and health.
Only genuine Cumberland
parts are to be used in installation and use of the Pan Feeder System. Use of
other non-genuine parts is a misuse of the system and may lead to dangerous situations imperilling the
safety and health of you and others.
This machine is not designed for use in atmospheres where there is a risk of explosion. Such environments
may include enclosed areas of high dusts concentrations, gas vapors and fumes. Use of the Pan Feeder
System in such an environment is prohibited. If in doubt, contact Cumberland or your dealer.
Operate Motor Properly
In an emergency, shut down the power source.
Turn OFF and lock out all power sources before performing
any maintenance.
Do not operate electric motor equipped units until motors are
properly grounded.
Disconnect power on electrical driven units before resetting
motor overloads.
Do not repetitively stop and start the drive in order to free a
plugged condition. Jogging the drive in this manner can damage
the equipment and/or drive components.
