LONG TERM STORAGE
When received, the equipment should be carefully unpacked. Give the equipment a thorough visual
inspection to reveal any damage that may occurred during shipment. If damage is found, contact L-R
Systems, Material Handling Solutions and the shipping carrier at once.
If the feeder is placed in storage, prior to installation, store the feeder in the shipping carton.
CAUTION: Do not support the weight of the unit by the trough assembly. This will distort and damage the springs.
When storing the controller, plug all openings in the control box to prevent dirt, rodents and insects from
entering. L-R Systems advises placing a corrosion preventive inside control box. Cover the controller and
place it in an area protected from extreme heat. Do not drop controller. The force of the impact may
damage the components.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Do not lift the unit by the trough.
The feeder has been factory tuned for your specific application. Handling by the trough could cause
damage to the feeder.
When received the feeder and controller should be carefully unpacked. All packing bands, paper, etc.,
must be removed. Check the controller components for protective shipping blocks, tape etc.
Inspect all the equipment received and report any damage, which may have occurred during shipment. If
damage is found, notify L-R Systems, Material Handling Solutions and the shipping carrier at once.
When installing the feeder, consideration must be given to the area of support. Model F/DF-T01-A feeders
can weigh over 33 pounds (15 kg) and a support must be selected that will safely carry the full weight of
the unit under loaded operating conditions.
CAUTION: The feeder must not come in contact with any rigid object or adjacent surface that could
hamper its vibrating action.
A ½” (12.7 mm) clearance must be maintained. Any connections (such as dust seals) between the trough
and adjacent objects must be flexible, preferably cloth or rubber.
WARNING: Be certain the equipment is properly grounded.
