Hog Slat Inc. Newton Grove, NC USA March 2024 3 HS597 HOPPER LEVEL CONTROL Installation: The HS597 Hopper Level Control should be installed in the last hopper or feeder which is located at the end of the delivery or fill system. The unit should be mounted low in the hopper or feeder so the fill level in the control hopper will be lower than the others. This will cause the fill system to cycle more frequently insuring a proper feed level in every hopper or feeder. It will also provide a reservoir of feed in the system if another control hopper calls for feed. The feed drop tube should be positioned so that feed is delivered to the center and near the top of the control in front of paddle. Drop tubes and other control units should be positioned high in other hoppers or feeders so that they will fill but not overflow. 1. (Figure 1) Illustrates a typical installation example of the HS597 into a feed hopper. 2. Hopper Level Control is held in place by clamping assembly to top lip of feed hopper. 3. Remove the two wing nuts, washers and TOP MOUNTNG BRACKET (Item #5) from top of assembly. 4. Slide switch assembly underneath top lip of feed hopper as shown below (figure 1). 5. Replace TOP MOUNTING BRACKET (item #5), washers, wing nuts and tighten in place. 6. The HS597 must be mounted vertically to ensure the proper movement of the switch and paddle. FIGURE 1 Wing Nuts
