When properly installed, the trough joint will be approximately 8" (20 cm) to the right of
the Cage Support—This dimension should not exceed 12" on Trough Systems. Refer to
Figure 8 when determining trough starting locations, Power Unit-to-Trough connections,
etc.
• Always work from left to right when installing trough.
• On All cage systems with swing down doors, install the cage doors prior to installing the trough.
