crossbar. Install washer and nuts (Items 22). Adjust length of bump bars
with the nut. Use pliers to hold the bump bars in place. When the wheel
is turned, the bump bars should only drag along the hopper bottom about
one-fourth of a full circle.
To train pigs on the feeder, set feed flow control to 1 1/2 to 2 and manually turn feed wheel until feed begins to flow into trough. Manually scoop feed into the
trough and fill for first use. As first trough full is eaten, pigs learn through play that the feed wheel dispenses feed. Adjust the cone height with feed flow control
as needed. Proper adjustment will vary based upon feed grind, moisture content and animal size.
