Important Information
UNPACK AND IDENTIFY PARTS
The following steps will ensure that you have all
the necessary parts before you begin assembly.
1. Unpack the contents of the shipment and
place where you can easily inventory the
parts. Refer to the Bill of Materials/Spec
Sheets.

QUICK START GUIDE
For a quick overview of this product and its
components, consult the Quick Start Guide at the
back of these instructions.
ATTENTION: This manual describes how to
assemble one 111628E FodderPro 2.0 Full Feed
System — Expanded. If you are connecting this
system to another, minor adjustments must be
made to some of the procedures that follow.
Consult the diagram on Page 4 for additional
details regarding multiple systems.
ELECTRICAL WARNING
Fodder frame is metal and will conduct electricity!
Exercise caution if working around or on the
frame with electric power tools. Use cordless,
battery-power tools.
CONSULT THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICAL TECHNICIAN WHEN INSTALLING
ANY PUMPS, ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING,
OR OTHER ELECTRICALLY POWERED
ACCESSORIES.
OPEN SYSTEM
The 111628E FodderPro 2.0 Full Feed System
is an open system, which means that the water
is not recycled for use in the fodder system.
Unlike a closed system where the water is
stored in a reservoir and recycled, the open
system requires a water source and a drain to
accept the unused water. The unused water can
be recycled for use in other applications such
as watering other plants; however, to promote
healthy fodder growth, it is not recommended
for reuse in the fodder system.
REQUIRED TOOLS
The following list identifies the main tools needed to
assemble the fodder system. Additional tools and
supports may be needed.
• Tape measure and marker
• Variable speed drill (cordless with extra batteries
works best) and drill bit set with a 9/32" & 7/16" bit.
• Small hammer and gloves
• PVC Tube Cutting Tool
• Level 4' (or longer)
• Wrench set or adjustable wrenches
• Socket Set with Ratchet
• Straight Screw Driver
• 1-3/8" hole saw bit for the drain manifold
• Adjustable pliers
• 5/8" nut driver (or 5/8" socket)
• Ladder or work platform to work at the height of
the fodder system frame.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Wear eye protection.
• Wear gloves when handling metal tubes.
• Use a portable GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) when working with electric power tools
and cords.

Connecting a Stand-Alone Unit to a 3/4" Main Supply Line
The 111628E FodderPro 2.0 Full Feed System – Expanded includes all the components to assemble the main fodder frame, 12' channels, drain manifold, and supply manifold.
Additional components needed for the system are not included and require an additional purchase. These components—required, recommended, and optional—are noted in the
diagram below. Contact your sales representative for additional information and to purchase the additional components.
Consult the services of an electrician and/or professional contractor during assembly and when attaching the main water supply line to the fodder system. The diagram below
shows the basic items needed to supply and control the water to the fodder system.
ATTENTION: Stand-Alone System: Connect the main water supply to the top or bottom of the supply manifold. Diagram below shows a bottom connection. To connect multiple
systems, plumb the main water supply to the tops of the supply manifolds only. See the diagrams on the next page showing two fodder systems connected to a 2" main.

SPECIAL NOTES AND CAUTIONS
The support frame for the 111628E FodderPro 2.0 Full Feed System —
Expanded is designed to save assembly time and to better serve your
growing needs. Before you begin, read the information that follows.
CAUTION!
DO NOT CLIMB ON FRAME!
TO PREVENT INJURY AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE
FODDER SYSTEM AND RELATED COMPONENTS, NEVER
CLIMB ON THE ASSEMBLED OR PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED
FRAME.
NEVER USE THE FRAME ENDS AS A LADDER TO REACH THE
UPPER LEVEL OF THE FODDER FRAME!
ALWAYS POSITION THE FODDER TRAYS ON THE DIFFERENT
LEVELS IN A WAY THAT EVENLY DISTRIBUTES THE WEIGHT.
NEVER LOAD ALL HEAVY TRAYS ON ONE SIDE OR ON THE
TOP LEVEL OF THE ASSEMBLED FRAME. ALWAYS PLACE
HEAVY TRAYS ON THE LOWER LEVELS ON EACH SIDE OF THE
FRAME.
NEVER REMOVE MATURE FODDER FROM TRAYS ON ONE SIDE
OF THE FRAME ONLY. ALTERNATE FROM SIDE TO SIDE TO
MAINTAIN EVEN WEIGHT ON THE FRAME WHEN HARVESTING
FODDER.
AFTER FRAME SLOPE IS SET, ANCHOR THE BASE RAIL
OF EACH FRAME END TO THE CONCRETE USING ANCHOR
BOLTS WHEN POSSIBLE. PURCHASE BOLTS LOCALLY OR
CALL YOUR SALES REPRESENTATIVE FOR ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION.
CONSULT THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED CONTRACTOR FOR
OTHER WAYS TO ANCHOR YOUR SYSTEM WHEN IT IS NOT
POSITIONED ON CONCRETE.
ATTENTION: CONSULT ALL DIAGRAMS AND THOSE NEAR THE
BACK OF THIS GUIDE TO IDENTIFY CRITICAL DIMENSIONS, PART
NUMBERS, AND PART LOCATIONS FOR THE FODDER FRAME. Diagram above shows the end frame for your 111628E

Complete these steps to install the additional Tek screws:
1. After the frame is assembled, stretch and tie a string line from
end-to-end along the top of one outer rail. Verify that the string
line is flat against the 2-way fitting at each end.
2. Move to the middle support arm and check the distance
between the string line and the top of the 2-way fitting.
NOTE: Photo to the right shows a gap between the string
line and the top of the 2-way fitting indicating that the middle
support arm is not level with the support arms at each end of
the frame.

To ensure that all support arms are level, complete the
procedure below. Failing to complete this procedure may cause
the center support arm to drop below the level of the support
arms at each end. Uneven water distribution and water flow in
the fodder channels may result.
NOTE: Actual frame may differ from what is shown. Procedure is
the same however.
