Locating

The heater is designed to provide radiant heat to the entire
creep mat or creep area on both sides of the crate divider.

To properly utilize the heater, the producer must determine:
a. Desired position of the heat zone relative to the sow
b. Location of the creep mat relative to the sow.
Individual preferences will vary from producer to producer.
Nonetheless consideration must be given to prevention of heat
stress on the sow. See Fig. 3 for typical heater location.

Regardless of mat location, the heater is mounted
6 - 8 inches from center of mat (away from sow’s head) to

provide proper heat coverage of the mat.

Mounting

To steel crate panels

Position the heater onto the crate panel at the desired
location.

Mark the location using the heater’s saddle bracket
mount as a template. See Fig.4. Remove heater.

FIG. 4

c. Using the drill template from the safety chain kit

(included) position its holes at the locations previously
marked. Drill 1/8 in. pilot holes at both sides. See Fig.5.

FIG. 5

Remove and drill 5/16 in. holes through both sides of
the metal crate panel.

e. Position the heater back onto the panel. Align the holes

in the heater’s saddle bracket with the drilled holes in
the panel. Lock the heater into place by pushing the
retaining pin completely through both sides of the
bracket. See Fig.6. Proceed to Safety Chain Installation
Instructions

FIG. 6

To PVC or ABS crate panels.

All installations with PVC or ABS crate panels must use
kit # 26769, which includes base mounts and hardware
to install two heaters. The base mount must be used as
it supports the heater while acting as a heat shield

a.. Position the heater to the base mount using the

retaining pin.See Fig.7, next page.
-- Saddle bracket of heater aligns to either set of upper

holes at ends of base mount.

-- Heater canopy must be positioned over the base

mount. See Fig.7.
