All wiring sizes and fuse capacities are to be sized according to applicable electrical code specifications or other regulations. Safety Instructions: Read all safety messages in this manual and on equipment safety decals. Follow recommended precautions and safe operating practices. Ground all electrical equipment for safety. Ground all non-current carrying metal parts to guard against electrical shock. Always keep safety decals in good condition and replace missing or damaged decals. Important Installation Notes and Considerations: GrowerSELECT’s Adult Turkey Feeder can be fitted to provide a winch adjustable Feed Level Cone. This feature is applicable to existing systems or new installations. Maximum length of each winch is 200 feet (61 meters). The winch should be located in the center of the feeders to be adjusted. If feed line is longer than 200 feet (61 meters), more than one winch will be required. Figure 1 Turkey Pan Feed Rings are adjusted (winched) up to allow for maximum flooding and access by young turkeys. The Feed Rings can be lowered as the birds grow to better control amount and level of feed. For Existing System Installations, Power must be disconnected from Anti-Roost System prior to Winch installation. Once exact winch location is determined, the Anti-Roost Cable should be temporarily removed from that area and saved for reconnection after winch installation.

Install Lift Cables to each Feed Level Ring so that the Cable Stop is on outside of Feed Level Ring with Cable on inside of Feed level Ring (Figure 7). Feed Level Ring should be positioned in third hole from bottom for most adult turkey applications. 2. Lift Cables should be fed up and through holes in Pan Shield from bottom. Make sure that all cables are up and through the holes on each side Pan Shield on top of Adult Turkey Feeder (Figure 8 Below). Check for function and free movement by lifting the Feed Ring Assembly with the Lift Cables. 3. Starting with Feeder closest to Winch Assembly, orient Lift Cables toward Winch and attach to main Winch Cable with supplied plastic split bolt nut. Tighten nut securely. Please make sure the Lift Cables are oriented toward the Winch. 4. Once all Feeder Lift Cables are connected, check tightness of all Clamps. Winch up and down several times to check for proper function.
