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.

strictor Tube to increase feed flow. See Figure 20.
4. CAREFULLY remove the locking pliers while holding on to the
Anchor and Bearing Assembly and auger securely.
5. CAREFULLY allow the auger to draw the Anchor and Bearing As-
sembly back into the Lower Boot. DO NOT ALLOW THE BEARING
TO BE SLAMMED BACK INTO THE BOOT.
