Chain Feeding System
General Safety Statement
Electrical Safety
An adequate and safe power supply to the Chain 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 Chain 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.
Structural Safety
Raising and lowering the Chain 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 Chain Feeding System are provided in the
table in the Installation Manual.
Correct Use of the Chain Feeder System
The Chain 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 the installation and use of the Chain 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 Chain Feeder System in such an environment is prohibited. If in doubt, contact Cumberland or
your dealer.
Safety Guards
The Chain Feeder System contains many moving and electrical parts, which will cause serious injury or
death if touched. Guards are placed on the machine for protection. Operating the machine at any time with
guards removed or installs is a serious misuse of the machine and endangers safety.
