(1) First, install one clear extension on feeder and secure it with one small screw and washer on one side only, facing the "L" shaped metal bracket.  (2) Install the bracket with four 3/8" long screws.  (3)Install metal strap with one small screw and no washer on front side.  (4) Install "L" bracket and retaining strap to wood mount with two large head screws on each side of bracket (4 ea. supplied), or as directed by plastic stand instructions.  (5) Plug power adapter plug into feeder jack.  (6) Plug power adapter directly into wall socket and feeder should "dry" run for one cycle.  (10) Adjust black “volume” screw so opening between roller and gate is about the size of food so it does not drop straight through.  Fill feeder with dry food.  Some pieces may initially fall through.  (7) Lift rubber plug to expose feed time controls.  (8) Place bowl under feeder, push reset switch momentarily to activate feeder.  If not enough food was dispensed, turn white dial (7) clockwise, then push reset switch again and note amount of food dispensed.  If too much food came out, turn dial counterclockwise.  Always turn dial in extremely fine increments!  If still not enough food is dispensed at maximum time setting, turn the volume screw (10) counterclockwise and try again.  If still not enough, program extra feed cycles with remote timer.  Time duration of feeder's own adjustable feed cycle is what primarily determines amount of food dispensed, not the remote timer. When the rubber plug is closed (9), push its right side for additional feed cycles while the feeder is powered (no need to open rubber plug).

(11) Program any remote timer of choice.  (13) If using timer with non-removable tabs, push one tab at time you want feeder to "trigger."  (10) If using timer with removable tabs (11), place one "on" tab at time you want to trigger the feeder, and then place one "off" tab any time later.  Set rotary dial to current time.  If using a digital timer, set current time, then program one "on" time of at least 2 minutes at each time you want to feed.  For all timers, program at least 45-60 minutes of "off" time between feed cycles to reset feeder (standard reset), unless your feeder came with the short reset as indicated on its packaging bag.  If it came with the standard reset and you would like several feed cycles in a short time span, that function can be reduced to only 1-2 minutes (see "special notes" page 3 on how to do that).  Select timer function to “timer,” “auto” or “auto- off” mode depending on type of timer, and then plug the power adapter into the remote timer (12/13).   Most timers have an "override" function to manually turn the timer on, if needed.  Push the reset button (8) one final time for 5 seconds to void the normal reset time while remote timer/feeder are off.   Finally, plug remote timer in wall socket (14).  At each programmed time, the feeder will be triggered and will run through its own feed cycle as pre-adjusted.  If included, install 1.5 gallon hopper (15) on top of clear extension(s) supplied with quart set-up, securing it with one small screw and washer on each side.  Only tighten as needed to lock hopper in place.  You will not need upper hopper strap with short vertical mount.  Finish filling your feeder with dry food.  Lid (16) can also be secured with two small screws and NO washers on large hopper. NOTE:  Terminal strip underneath feeder may be used with a wire of your choice from power adapter.  FEEDER ONLY APPROVED FOR 9 TO 24 VOLT AC OR DC---DO NOT POWER WITH HIGHER VOLTAGE BECAUSE YOU WILL BURN UP THE UNIT AND VOID WARRANTY!!

Although these installation instructions are for the CSF-3 cat feeder, basic operation is the same for all Super Feeders®. Tip:  You do not need to use a screwdriver each time to remove/lock lid in place, just squeeze upper front and back sides of hopper or extension.
