1. Introduction
Cumberland’s Hi-Lo Pan Feeder is a revolutionary two-stage feeder bringing together features and
advantages of other systems, and introducing original and effective solutions to some persistent
problems and concerns.
ThePan FeederSystem isdesignedtoconveygranularorpowderedpoultryfeedfromexternalfeedbins
into the poultry house. It utilizes a screw auger to supply feed to Pan Feeders. The auger and pans are
located in the building, and the birds feed directly from it.
Feed is delivered from the feed bin via a feed conveying system such as the Flex-Flo, which is designed
to run in conjunction with the Pan Feeder.
For clean out purposes, the Pan Feeder may be raised up to a high level using a winching system. This
allows clear access to the building.
The Hi-Lo Pan Feeder System is designed for simple installation, though it is recommended that a
specialist be consulted with for the electrical wiring installation.
Because the first 7-10 days of a broiler’s life are critical, the Hi-Lo Pan Feeder rests on the house floor
and presents a lip height of 2.1" (5.334 cm) the average height of traditional “feeder lids”. Young chicks
can easily get in and out of the pan and are eating out of the pan from day one. And because the pan
need not be flooded, they get fresher feed. The Hi-Lo Pan Feeder provides an excellent start for
young birds.
As the birds grow, and the feed line is raised, the Hi-Lo Pan Feeder expands into the more easily
managed 3.5" (8.89 cm) deep pan.
For larger birds, the higher wall and feed saver lip (wider than the lip currently on the standard grilled
feeder) prevent waste from raking and eliminate bill-out. The additional height also compels the birds to
eat nearer the edge of the pan, assuring a more even “first in, first out” utilization of feed (which both
saves feed and maintains freshness).
Cumberland values customer feedback and suggestions to help determine what features and functions
most enhance the efficiency and profitability of operations. Many of Cumberland’s design and
manufacturing advantages, including the Hi-Lo Pan Feeder, have been direct responses to customer
comments and suggestions.

Electrical Safety
An adequate and safe power supply to the Pan Feeder System unit is essential for safety. A competent
and qualified electrician must undertake all electrical wiring. All wiring is to be installed according to the
National Standards and Regulations relevant to your Country and Region.
A main isolator should be installed with the Pan Feeder System and is essential for safety. This should
be installed as indicated in the enclosed installation instructions and in accordance with the relevant
codes and directives.
Users Manual
This manual contains information and instructions essential to the safe installation and use of the
Pan Feeder System. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting any installation or use of the
Pan Feeder System. Keep this manual with the Pan Feeder System or in a location where it can be
readily accessed. Failure to read this manual and its safety instructions is a misuse of the equipment.
Structural Safety
Raising and lowering the Pan Feeder System in a poultry house imposes additional load on the building.
It is essential that the building is able to bear this additional load. Consult a structural engineer to verify
the building’s load capacity. Likely/estimated weights of the Pan Feeding System are provided in the
table in the Installation Manual.
Correct Use of the Pan Feeder System
The Pan Feeder System is designed solely for the purpose of conveying granular or powdered
agricultural feed products for poultry feeding. Use of the system in any other way is a misuse of the
system and may endanger safety and health.
Only genuine Cumberland parts are to be used in installation and use of the Pan Feeder System. Use
of other non-genuine parts is a misuse of the system, and may lead to dangerous situations imperilling
the safety and health of you and others.
This machine is not designed for use in atmospheres where there is a risk of explosion. Such
environments may include enclosed areas of high dusts concentrations, gas vapors and fumes.
Use of the Pan Feeder System in such an environment is prohibited. If in doubt, contact Cumberland
or your dealer.
Operate Motor Properly
In an emergency, shut down the power source.
Turn OFF and lock out all power sources before performing
any maintenance.
Do not operate electric motor equipped units until motors are
properly grounded.
Disconnect power on electrical driven units before resetting
motor overloads.
Do not repetitively stop and start the drive in order to free a
plugged condition. Jogging the drive in this manner can damage
the equipment and/or drive components. Electric Shock Hazard

2. Safety
PNEG-250 Pan Feeders 9
Safety Guards
The Pan Feeder System contains many moving and electrical parts, which will cause serious injury or
death if touched. Guards are placed on the machine for your protection. Operating the machine at any
time with guards removed or incorrectly fitted is a serious misuse of the machine and endangers safety.
Safety in Handling the Pan Feeding System
To prevent injury, use suitable hand protection when manually handling the components of this system.
Safety in Maintenance
While the Pan Feeder System is designed to keep maintenance to a minimum, some repairs will be
necessary in the course of thelife of the machine. Do not attempt any repairs on the machine unless you
are competent to do so. Remember that the Pan Feeder System may operate under automatic control
and start without warning. Never attempt any work on the Pan Feeder System without first isolating the
machine from the power and locking the isolator so that only you can turn the power back on.
When working on or around the auger, be aware that it may be under tension and may move suddenly
when released. Approach the auger using a suitable tool rather than your hands until it is clear that the
tension is released and the auger is slack in all places.
Follow all guidelines given in the maintenance section of this manual.
Before restarting the Pan Feeder System, ensure that all electrical enclosures are locked closed and all
guards and other safety measures are correctly fitted. If in any doubt, contact your dealer or Cumberland
for assistance.
Dust
Under normal working conditions, the Pan Feeder System should create little or no dust hazard.
However, some feed materials may create dust when being moved. This dust may be harmful to your
health if inhaled. Seek advice from your feed supplier and use a suitable dust mask as needed.
Noise
Tests on this machine indicate noise levels at a position 1 meter from the drive unit, 1.6 meters above
the ground do not exceed 70 dBa, continuous ‘A’ weighted sound pressure or 63 Pa, instantaneous ‘C’
weighted sound pressure.
Use Caution in the Operation of this Equipment
The design and manufacture of the Pan Feeding System is directed toward operator safety. However,
the very nature of a Pan Feeding System requiring electrical power and possessing moving parts does
present a hazard to personnel which cannot be completely safeguarded against without interfering with
efficient operation and reasonable access to components.
Continued safe, dependable operation of automatic equipment depends, to a great degree, upon the
owner/operator. For a safe and dependable Pan Feeding System, follow the recommendations within
this manual and make it a practice to regularly inspect the operation of the unit for any developing
problems or unsafe conditions.
