Hog Slat Inc. Newton Grove, NC USA May 2023 40 Poultry Feed Systems Anti-Roost Installation 1. Unroll the bulk anti-roost cable. Note: Unroll the cable taking 5 loops of coil with one hand, then changing hands to remove 5 loops as it is unrolled, it will lie flat during installation. 2. Start at the hopper end of the line and form a loop around the anti-roost bracket. For best results, make a double loop around the anti-roost insulator in the center groove of the insulator and fasten with a 1/16” aluminum sleeve. 3. Insert the cable in the insulator on the top of each Grill Support between the hopper and the next anti-roost bracket. 4. Attach a spring in the center groove at the second anti-roost bracket and curt the cable at this point. 5. Thread the end of the cable through the end of the spring. Pull the cable tight so that there is 3/4” to 1” of stretch in the spring. Clamp the cable to form a loop and cut off any excess. 6. Attach the cable to the insulator. For best results, make a double loop around the antiroost insulator in the center groove of the insulator and fasten with a 1/16” aluminum sleeve. 7. Run the cable to the next insulator, attach a spring in the center groove at the anti-roost bracket and cut the cable at this point. The cable should be positioned in the insulator built into the top of each grill support along the feeder line. 8. Repeat the installation until the anti-roost cable is installed along the entire feeder line. 9. At the control unit, after clamping the cable to the spring, cut the cable about 8” to 10” longer than necessary. Feed the end of the cable through the center of the spring around the first insulator on the control unit, and clamp the cable using a 1/16” aluminum sleeve. 10.Install the control rod onto the control unit insulators. Be sure the guard snaps into the retainers molded into the insulators.
