Auger Caution!
Use caution when working with the Auger—Springing auger may cause personal injury.
Introduction
A Circulating Feed Delivery System makes it possible to regulate the amount of feed delivered to a particular
drop tube, hopper, or drop feeder. The Circulating Feed Delivery System allows multiple feedings at random
locations around the system without overloading or jamming the system with feed.
Many variations are possible using the Model 55, 75, 75 Stainless, 90, 75 PLUS, 75 Plus Stainless, or HMC
FLEX-AUGER.
Plan the system carefully before beginning installation.
Installation
1.Install the Control Unit to deliver feed from bin to circulating system.
2.Remove the top cover of the Extension Hopper and replace with an Adapter Plate (part no. 45970). Fasten
Control Unit to Transition Plate. See Detail "A".
3.Install auger tubes and elbows to reach opposite corner of circulating system
4.Install the Extension Hopper. See Detail "B".
5.Install auger tubes and elbows to connect the system to the first Extension Hopper.
6.Wire the system according to the appropriate wiring diagram in this instruction.
