Model C2 Plus & G Plus Feeding Systems

The Model C2 Plus, G Plus Control Units use a 348 R.P.M. Gearhead, delivering
approximately 17 pounds per minute or 7.7 kg per minute. This rating is based on feed with
a density of 40 pounds per cubic foot or 640 kg per cubic meter.
Single phase 60 Hz and single and three phase 50 Hz Power Units are available for the
Model C2 Plus , G Plus Feeders.
Systems up to 300’ (91 m) require 1/3 H.P. Power Units. Systems over 300’ (91 m) require
1/2 H.P. Power Units.
General Management Recommendations that apply to Model C2 Plus, G Plus Feeder
systems are covered below. In addition, each style of feeder has a section, explaining some
of its individual features. Refer to the section that applies to the feeder you have purchased.
The Model C2 Plus Features are covered on pages 12 through 14.
The Model G Plus Features are covered on page 15.
These sections provide you with valuable information concerning feeder installation,
operation, etc. It is important that you read this information and understand how the feeder
was designed to operate. Then, you may custom operate the system to fit your individual
needs.

General Management & Start-Up
Partial House Brooding
It is recommended that the power unit end of the house be used for the brooding area. This
helps avoid any section of the system running dry. Also, Intermediate Controls are not
needed in this situation. Houses over 400’ (122 m) should be split in the center, allowing
either end to be used for partial house brooding.
If partial house brooding is required, the Intermediate Control is available.
With the recommended toggle switch wired into the system, the feeder line can be changed
from full house brooding to partial house brooding with the flip of a switch.
Maintain a lower feed level in the Intermediate Control than in the rest of the feeders. This
will cause the Intermediate Control Pan to empty more often, thereby starting the feeder
line before the other pans become empty.
Do not hinder the bird movement around the Intermediate Control pan. Locate the curtain
or partition several pans away from the Intermediate Control pan.
Provide adequate lighting so that the birds will not shy away from the Intermediate Control
area.

Electro-guard Operation
Electro-guard cables should be tight to prevent sagging onto the feeder and shorting out.
Tight cables also help keep pans in line on the tube.
The feeding equipment must be grounded through the power unit wiring or a separate
ground wire for the electro-guard to work properly.
Electro-guard chargers should be operated on a separate circuit so the anti-roost system can
be disconnected using a switch at the door when someone enters the pen. Birds are less
likely to become wild and flighty if the electro-guard can be disconnected when people are

Model C2 Plus & G Plus Feeding Systems

Start-Up Information
Operate the equipment, if possible, before birds are housed to check installation, switch
operation, and fill the feeder lines with feed.
The oil coating on new auger will cause the auger to deliver feed at a slower rate. To reduce
the load on the motor while the equipment is being broken in, auger 50 pound (20 kg)
increments of feed out to the pans. Allow the system to run for approximately 30 seconds,
then add another 50 pounds (20 kg) of feed. Repeat this procedure until feed has been
supplied to all the pans.
Birds avoid dark or cold areas. Do not locate a control unit or intermediate control in such
an area. Also, do not locate the Control Unit close to the end of the building. Allow a
minimum of 10 feet (3 m) between the Control Unit and the building wall. If these problems
are anticipated, they can be avoided during installation. Later, artificial lighting can
partially correct the problem.
During the first 5 days the system should be run manually with the feeder pans setting on
the floor.
If the system accidentally runs out of feed and birds are without feed for some time, care
must be taken when the pans are refilled.

Feed hoppers can be filled prior to starting the feeder lines to give the fill system
a head start.
When feeders are turned on, it may be necessary to walk up and down the lines
to scatter large groups of birds as they rush to the feeders.
It may be desirable to raise the feeder line so birds cannot reach it, fill all the
pans, then carefully lower the line.
When birds are removed, all the remaining feed in the hoppers and the feeder pans must be
removed. If possible, allow the birds to clean up feed prior to their removal.

Feeder Management
General Operation of the Model C2 Plus and Model G Plus Feeders
These recommendations are guidelines to aid producers in developing a feeding program. Many
factors such as feed content, type of bird, etc. may dictate change from these recommendations.
Start young birds with the feeder pans resting on the floor. The Model C2 Plus has the ability to fill the
feeders while setting on the floor or suspended. With the feed windows open, feed will spill out in the pan,
making it easier for the birds to find feed, adapt to the feeder, and begin to eat. Make sure all the feed
windows are in the same position, OPEN or CLOSED.
Raise the feeder as the birds grow. This will automatically close the feed windows. Chore-Time
recommends opening the feed windows in the pans for the first 5 to 10 days, for broilers. Open the feed
windows in the pans for the first 10 to 14 days, for turkeys. The feeders will need to be operated at least
twice a day for the first 5 days, thereafter pans may need to be resupplied 3 times a day or as birds eat feed
level down.
Keeping the pans at the proper height prevents birds from raking feed excessively. For additional
information on pan height adjustment refer to the diagram on page 20 in this manual.
DO NOT RUN THE SYSTEM ON AUTOMATIC (FULL FEED) WHEN FEED WINDOWS ARE OPEN.
In most cases, setting #4 is recommended. However, feed texture, fat content, type of bird, or some other
variables may make it necessary to change to another setting. The combination of proper pan height, feeder
setting, and time clock operation, will result in optimum feeder performance. The operator will learn what
works best for his/her situation by experience.

Optional Slide Shut-Off
An Optional Slide Shut-Off is available for Non-Windowed Feeder Assemblies. The Slide Shut-Off may be
used on either style of feeders.
To assemble the Slide Shut-Off to the Non-Window Feed Cone, remove the thinned area from the NonWindowed Feed Cone, then insert the Slide Shut-Off into the slots, as shown in Figure 14.

Feeder Assembly
Assembly Box Construction for Model C2 Plus Feeders
This information and assembly only applies to Model C2 Plus installations.
Chore-Time recommends building an assembly box to aid in assembling the Model C2 Plus
feeders.
To build the assembly box for the C2 Plus Feeder, use a 16" (406 mm) square piece of
plywood and four 14-1/2" (368 mm) long pieces of 2 x 10 (20 x 250 mm), these can be cut
from a 5’ (1.5 m) section of 2 x 10 (50 x 250 mm).

1. Cut a 3/4" (20 mm) piece of plywood 16" (400 mm) square. See Figure 15A.
Cut a 4" (100 mm) piece out of the middle of one side. See Figure 15A.
2. Center the grill on the 16" (400 mm) square piece of plywood. Use a pencil and
draw around the outside edge of the grill as shown in Figure 15B.
Mark a "V" at each strut location.Remove the grill.
Use a 7/8" (22 mm) spade bit to drill a hole at each strut location, as shown in
Figure 15C.
3. Use a sabre saw to cut along the inside circle, between the 7/8" holes. See
Figure 15D.
4. Use (4) 14-1/2" (370 mm) 2 x 10’s (50 x 250 mm) to construct the box sides.
Nail the 3/4" plywood fixture to the box. See Figure 15E.
It is important to use at least 10" (250 mm) sides for the box. Smaller lumber
will not allow sufficient depth for the grill to be placed in the box face down.
Figure 15F shows how the grill should fit down in assembly box. NOTE: Board
is cut away for clarity only.

Model C2 Plus & G Plus Feeding Systems

Suspension System
The feeder line suspension system is a vital part of your feeding system. Proper planning
and installation is necessary to insure proper operation of the system.
The suspension system is the same for the Model C2 Plus & G Plus Feeders. The type of
installation required depends on feeder line length. Figure 22, on page 29, shows the
suspension system for feeder line lengths to 350’ (107 m). Figure 23, on page 30, shows the
suspension system for feeder lines over 350’ (107 m).
IMPORTANT: Special support is required at each Power Unit and Hopper location.
Figures 22 and 23 show the additional suspension required at these locations.

•

•

Power Unit locations: The feeder line must be supported within 3 feet (1 m) of
the Power Unit. This is in addition to the required Power Unit suspension. If
the Control Unit does not come out directly under a truss, fasten a pulley to a
2x8 (50x200 mm) board that will span 2 trusses to support the Control Unit.
Feed Hopper locations: The feeder line must be supported within 1 foot (30
cm) of the Feed Hopper. This is in addition to the required Feed Hopper suspension.

After determining the type of suspension system required, decide where the feeder line is
to be installed. Mark a straight line on the ceiling or rafters the full length of the feeder line.
Use a string, chalk line, or the winch cable, temporarily attached with staples, to mark the
line. Center the line directly over where the feeder is to be installed.
The recommended distance between the drops for the Model C2 Plus & G Plus is 8’ (2.4
m) on center. Do not exceed 10’ (3 m) spacing on drop lines.
If the distance raised is greater than the distance between the drop spacings, offset the hooks
3" (75 mm) to each side of the line to prevent the cable clamps from catching the pulleys.
See Figure 21.

Auger Brazing
The auger should be brazed if it is necessary to splice or lengthen it. A bronze, flux coated rod is
recommended.
The ends of the auger should butt against each other, DO NOT THREAD INSIDE EACH OTHER. See
Figure 56. The joint should be well filled with no sharp edges or rough corners to wear against the tube. To
align the auger for brazing, lay it in angle or channel iron and clamp it firmly in place. Use low heat. Allow
the joint to air cool; rapid cooling will cause the auger to become brittle.

Proximity Switch Adjustment
The Proximity Switch requires a constant 230 volt power supply between the black and white wires.
Warning: Make sure ALL power sources supplying your system are disconnected at the circuit
breakers before performing any service work.

Setting the Delay
The Proximity Switch includes an adjustable delay. The delay may be set from 1 second to 10 minutes.
Use the small screwdriver provided to turn the Delay Adjustment. Turn the screw counterclockwise until
the light stays on. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise one complete revolution. This sets the delay to 1
second.
To increase the delay, turn the adjustment screw clockwise.
Quick flashes = shorter time delay. Slow flashes = longer time delay.

Adjusting the Sensitivity
The Proximity Switch includes a Sensitivity Adjustment Screw. It may be set to sense feed 0 to 15 mm from
end of switch.
The switch is set to the recommended sensitivity for most feed types.
If sensitivity does need to be adjusted, remove the sealing caulk to allow access to the Sensitivity
Adjustment Screw.

Meal-Time Feeding Guidelines
Chore-Time Programmed Meal-Time Feeding is recommended for use with Model C2 Plus & G Plus
Feeders. Basically, it means the birds are fed meals and are allowed to clean up the feed between meals. This
stimulates appetite, reduces protein excretion, and, when combined with good poultry management, can
yield a heavier bird with improved feed conversion.
Chore-Time Programmed Meal-Time Feeding does not limit or restrict feed. Only the numbers and lengths
of feedings per days are regulated - not the amount of feed.
Based on working experience, Chore-Time has set down the following guidelines. Chore-Time emphasizes
that these are GUIDELINES. Individual situations will require monitoring and judgment to determine best
performance on the Chore-Time Programmed Meal-Time Feeding system.

1. Start birds with pans on the floor. Empty the Control Unit pan several times a day so the
feeder will run. The sound of the feeder will alert the birds and they will use the pans more
quickly.
2. Model C2 Plus & G Plus only: Set the Feed Windows in open or brood position to begin
feeder operation.
3. Adjust the feeder height weekly. At 3 weeks, the feeder should be high enough so that birds
will not stand with one foot on pan lip but still will be able to reach feed.
4. At three weeks, begin the Meal-Time Feeding Program. The following is an example of a
Meal-Time program.
Birds should be fed 4 meals per day - at 7 A.M./ at 1 P.M./ at 7 P.M. / and at 1 A.M.
Try to be present during the feedings. Use the "Running Time" chart on this page as a guide for
determining length of running cycles.
5. After the Chore-Time Programmed Meal-Time Feeding is begun, determine whether running
times need to be adjusted. Remember: ONLY LENGTHEN OR SHORTEN RUNNING
TIMES. DO NOT DEVIATE FROM 4 FEEDINGS PER DAY.
The biggest cause of operator concern is usually when birds are without feed. If you are
managing this concept for best results, the birds will be without feed. This maybe for as long
as 2 hours depending on energy content of the feed.

55

Model C2 Plus & G Plus Feeding Systems

6. Adjust running time weekly. The adjustment should be made on the same day each week. It
may be convenient to adjust the feeder height at the same time.
7. At the end of the grow-out cycle, allow the birds to clean up feed in the pans. This will further
reduce feed waste and reflect in good final results.
Following Chore-Time Programmed Meal-Time Feeding improves results and minimizes labor, energy
usage, and wear on equipment while reducing feed cost per pound of gain and improved feed conversion.

Controlling the Feeders (optional equip.)
The Model C2 Plus & G Plus Feeding Systems may be controlled by the 34385 Control Panel or the 34574
Time Clock Control.

Both controls use the Agri-TimeTM Time Clock. Refer to the instructions shipped with each control
for information on installation, wiring, programming, and operating the controls.

4-Channel Meal-Time Control P/N 34385
The Meal-Time Control is primarily designed to meet the feeding needs of broiler applications. The MealTime Control is set up with Channel 1 being the feeder channel. Feeder line motors should be powered only
by Channel 1.
The Meal-Time channel (Channel 1) allows any feeder line that is running when the run time is finished to
continue to run until the line is satisfied.
The other channels (2,3, & 4) may be used to control other equipment (lights, fans, water solenoids, etc.).
Each channel has a 2 H.P. (max.), 230 V. power relay.

Maintaining the Floor Feeder
The Model H2 Plus Feeders require minimum maintenance. However, a routine periodic
inspection of the equipment will prevent unnecessary problems.
Maintenance should be done by a qualified technician.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER TO THE SYSTEM WHEN SERVICING OR
MAINTAINING THE EQUIPMENT. FAILURE TO DISCONNECT POWER MAY
CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
1. Check the oil level in the gear heads at installation and every 6 months. The Pipe Plug,
on the side of the gear head, indicates proper oil level. Add SAE 40W oil when
necessary.
The oil in the gearheads should be replaced every 12 months with new SAE 40W oil.
A. Remove the bottom Pipe Plug to drain the oil. Discard used oil in accordance with
local and national codes.
B. Wipe any debris off the magnet on the bottom Pipe Plug and reinstall. Remove the
side Pipe Plug and (top) Vent Plug.
C. Set the power unit in the horizontal position.
D. 2-Stage Gearheads: Add approximately 9 oz. (266 ml) of SAE 40W oil through top
hole. This should be just enough oil to reach the side Pipe Plug.
3-Stage Gearheads (3261-9, 3261-12, 3261-14): Add approximately 13 oz. (384
ml) of SAE 40W oil through top hole. This should be just enough oil to reach the
side Pipe Plug.
E. Install the side Pipe Plug and (top) Vent Plug.
2. Check equipment for loose hardware every 6 months--including the Anchor Block.
Tighten if necessary.
3. Switch Adjustment procedure for the Control Units:
A. Turn the adjustment nut counter-clockwise until the switch clicks.
B. Turn the adjustment nut clockwise until the switch clicks.
C. Turn the adjustment nut counter-clockwise 3/4 turn.
4. Keep anti-roost cables tightly stretched. This increases the effectiveness of the electroguard anti-roost system and keep the pans from being tilted when birds push against
them.

5. Remove all feed from the feeder when there are no birds in the house and when the

Model C2 Plus & G Plus Feeding Systems

building is washed and disinfected.
Turn the feeders off prior to removing the birds from the house. This will allow them to clean the feed
out of the pans.
6. If the system is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove all the feed from the feeder lines
and feeder pans.
Disconnect power to the system to prevent accidentally starting the system.
7. If the system must be disassembled, extreme caution must be used to prevent injury from springing
auger.
A. Disconnect power to the entire system.
B. Pull the Anchor and Bearing Assembly and approximately
18” (45 cm) of auger out of the boot.
C. Place a clamp or locking pliers on the auger to prevent it from
springing back into the auger tubes.
D. Remove the Anchor & Bearing Assembly.
E. Carefully remove the locking pliers.
CAUTION: Stand clear...the auger may spring back into the tubes.
F. Remove system components in the opposite order they were installed, according to this manual.
8. Replacing the battering in the Agri-Timer:
A. Disconnect electrical service at the breaker.
B. Remove the (6) screws and the face of the control.
C. Cut the wire ties to allow for battery removal.
C Replace the existing batteries with new “AAA” batteries.
D. Replace wire ties to secure the new batteries in place.
E. Reinstall the face of the timer and secure using (2) screws previously removed.
F. Reconnect electrical service to the Agri-Time Control.
9. Grease the winch every 6 months with 1 to 2 shots of common industrial or automotive grease. DO
NOT OVER GREASE THE WINCH.
10. Remove any feed build-up in the Safety Switch Boxes in the Control Units.
11. It may be necessary to periodically retighten the shocker cable. Be sure to disconnect power to the
shocker before servicing the equipment.
