Introduction
4MC2507A
Chore-Time has designed the ULTRAFLO®Cage Free Feeding System to feed Poultry Livestock within a
Structured and/or Floor feeding environment.
Feed is delivered to the Intake Cups by a Chore-Time FLEX-AUGER System. Feed is drawn out of the Intake Cups
by the ULTRAFLO®Floor Feeder Auger. Chore-Time does not recommend feeding pellets with the ULTRAFLO®
system.
The system is designed to feed 4 birds per foot (13 birds per meter) of trough. The feeder will deliver feed at a rate
of 80 feet (24.4 m) per minute. The Feeder Auger will hold approximately .55 pounds of feed per foot (.82 kg of
feed per meter).
The Auger serves as a stirring devise as it delivers feed around the loop.
The ULTRAFLO®Feeder uses the Chore-Tronics 3 Control. The fill system and feeder lines are controlled by
separate channels. The length of run time will be set when the system is first operated. The length of run time is
adjustable and may be changed. The Control also allows settings for number of feedings per day.

Safety Information
Caution, Warning and Danger Decals have been placed on the equipment to warn of potentially dangerous
situations. Care should be taken to keep this information intact and easy to read at all times. Replace missing or
damaged safety decals immediately.
Safety–Alert Symbol
This is a safety–alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your equipment, be alert to the potential
for personal injury. This equipment is designed to be installed and operated as safely as
possible...however, hazards do exist.
Understanding Signal Words
Signal words are used in conjunction with the safety–alert symbol to identify the severity of the warning.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate
injury.
Follow Safety Instructions
Carefully read all safety messages in this manual and on your equipment safety signs. Follow recommended
precautions and safe operating practices.
Keep safety signs in good condition. Replace missing or damaged safety signs.
Caution!
Decal Descriptions
DANGER: Moving Parts
Disconnect electrical power before working on system, equipment may
start automatically. Otherwise personal injury will result.
Severe personal injury will result if the equipment is operated without
covers properly installed.
DANGER: Electrical Hazard
Disconnect electrical power before inspecting or servicing equipment unless
maintenance instructions specifically state otherwise.
Ground all electrical equipment for safety.
All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with
local and national electric codes.
Ground all non-current carrying metal parts to guard against electrical shock.
Electrical disconnects and over current protection are not supplied with the equipment.
Use caution when working with the Auger--springing
auger may cause personal injury.

Planning
6MC2507A
Carefully planning the system prior to beginning the installation will save time and effort.
Recommended Power Unit Locations
See Figure 2 for Power Unit locations.
Houses up to 440’ (134 m)
Two Power Units are recommended. These Power Units should be located at the center of the loop and
directly across from one another for ease of wiring. (See Figure 2, page 7)
Houses 441’ to 750’ (135m to 229 m)
Four Power Units are recommended. These Power Units should also be spaced evenly around the system.
To determine the proper placement of the power units, add the total length of the system, including 4’ (1.2
m) for each 90 degree elbow, and divide by 4. This will give an approximate distance between Power
Units, round up or down to the nearest suspension drop line. The Power Units should be evenly spaced
directly across from each other in the system. The Power Units should be placed in positions (See
Figure 2, page 7).

Feeder Loop Layout
Adequate overhead structure must be provided to support the weight of the Feeder, Birds, Power Units, etc.
1.Suspensions Drop Lines should always line up with Trusses. If attaching drop lines to Trusses is impossible,
adequate load baring structure must be provided.
2.Stagger Drop Lines as shown. When Staggered, Drops are spaced 4’ [1.2 m] or 5’ [1.5 m] apart to coincide
with 8’ [2.4 m] or 10’ [3 m] Truss Spacing.
3.Each 90° Elbow needs its own Suspension Drop.
4.Extra Drop Lines need to be added to support Power Units.
Trough Lengths
Troughs are available in 8’ [2.4m] and 10’ [3m] lengths. This allows for Troughs to line up with Trusses.
1.Plan so that Trusses line up with suspension points near Trough Joints. (See Figure 2.)
Loop Width
The ULTRAFLO®Feeder loop is 44" [1.12 m] wide (minimum). Additional width may be achieved by adding
a straight section of tube between Elbows.

Suspended and Stand Feed Loop Systems Installation
The feeder line suspension is a vital part of your feeding system. Take time to thoroughly plan the system to insure
proper operation.
Suspended Systems
Suspended ULTRAFLO® Floor Feeders typically utilize two types of suspension:
Winch-able: A winch-able cable system for raising and lowering the empty feeder loops during
installation and house clean-out.
Static Chain Suspension: A Static Chain Suspension used to support the load of the Feeding System,
feed and birds during regular operation.
1.Suspension Systems have a maximum length of 120’ [36.5 m].
2.A single Winch and suspension system is required to raise and lower the entire Feed Loop.
3.Double Back Pulleys required at the Winch.
4.Special Pulley Assemblies are required to route the Cable.
5.A suspension line is required on each side of any Power Unit to support the weight adequately.
6.A suspension line is required on each side of an Intake Cup to support the weight adequately.
Determine 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.
Two cable clamps are required to connect the main cable to the Double Back Pulley.
One cable clamp is required to connect each drop line to the main cable.
Stand Systems
The ULTRAFLO® Feeder Loops are designed to sit on Stands with the use of Supports. If you are installing a
Stand system, Skip to “Loop Components Installation” on page 18

Screw Hook Installation
Install Screw Hooks at locations shown in (Figure 9).
If distance raised (3) is greater than (2) then stagger Screw hooks (4) as shown.
Important! Suspension Drops must be alternated from side to side on the Feeder Loop to distribute Feeder
and Bird loads. This will space the Drops every 4’ to 5’ [1.2 to 1.5 m] depending on Truss spacing.(See
Figure 9.)

Suspension Drop Line Installation
1.Attach a Pulley (Item 1) to each Hook.
2.Thread the end of the 3/32” or 1/8” cable through the Pulley toward the Winch. Clamp this end to the 3/16” winch cable about 6” (150 mm) from the Pulley,
using a 3/16 inch Cable Clamp (See Figure 11.). Allow enough drop cable to reach the eye of the Hanger (Single Perch), or the Top Perch Tube (3 Perch)
and thread back through Adjustment Leveler (Item 8).
3.Begin installing suspension drops at the Winch and proceed toward the elbows.
4.Keep the main cable tight between drops. Hang a weight on the end of the main cable to maintain tension.

Loop Components Installation
The following will provide guidelines for the installation, beginning at Intake Cup location and proceeding in the
direction of auger travel.
Suspended Systems: Measure and mark the trough so that when it is installed, the joint with the next trough
will be located directly below a suspension drop line.
Intake Cup and Elbows Installation
1.Attach an Elbow (Item 2) to the Intake Cup (Item 1) using a Tube Coupling (Item 3) as shown.
2.Cut Elbows to length to achieve desired width.
Note: 44" [111.8cm] Minimum Center to Center loop width.
Important! Cut the same amount off of each Elbow and leave a minimum 2" of straight. (See Figure 14.)
3.If extra width or length is needed, add a straight piece of Pipe (Item 4). and an extra 2" Tube Coupling.
Clean-Out Installation
1.Install a Clean-out (Item 1) between the Elbow and the End Cap using Tube Couplings (Item 2) as shown.
