Feed Level Control Installation
The Hopper Level Control (or Drop Tube Switch) is installed in the feed hopper (or on the drop tube over the
feeder) at the power unit end of the line. This switch stops the FLEX-AUGER Feed Delivery System when the
last feeder is full. Install the hopper level control or drop tube switch according to instructions shipped with the
unit. Wire the switch into the system as specified in the appropriate wiring diagram in this manual.
Types of Boot Installations
Straight-Through Tandem Boot Installation
The Straight-Through Tandem Boots allow a single auger to remove feed from two separate feed bins. Feed should
only be drawn from one bin at a time.
Boot Baffles are required and included with the Straight-Out Boot Assembly.
Model 108 Straight-Through Tandem Systems do not use Feed Restrictors.
1.Install boots on both feed bins. Be sure the outlets on the boots are in line with the slotted tube anchors facing
in the direction the auger line will go. Figure 21 shows a typical Straight-Through Tandem System.
