Mounting in cement block or masonry:
NOTE: Warm Springs Products does not supply wall anchors for masonry fastening, simply because there are many types and styles available.  Your local hardware supply can help you decide on the type of fasteners that are the most suitable and secure for your situation.  We highly recommend that during your trip to the hardware, you take one of the lag bolts and one of the wood screws supplied with the feeder to ensure that they will fit your choice of fastener.

You will need the following tools:
  • Fasteners for cement or masonry (not supplied)
  • Electric Drill and proper size masonry bit for fasteners you've selected
  • 9/16" socket and ratchet
  • Pencil
  • Tape Measure
Instructions:
  1. In the corner you have chosen, make a mark at the level you select for the top of the feeder above the stall floor.
  2. Measure down from mark 26" and install the Z-bracket between 10-15" out of the corner with the two wood screws and masonry fasteners.  You want the front to be high enough that your horse can not step into the feeder.
  3. Remove the disk.
  4. With the lid in the closed position, lift the feeder into position with the top being a few inches above your mark.  Make sure the feeder is seated flat against the corner walls and let it slide down on the Z-bracket.
  5. While pushing the feeder flat against the walls, mark the two mounting-hole positions.
  6. Drill the recommended size hole for your fastener.
  7. Install fastener.
  8. Put the washers on the lag bolts. Place bolts with washers and socket and driver in the feeder's hay well for easy access.
  9. Lift the feeder into position on the Z-bracket.  Push against the feeder body to hold it in position against the wall.
  10.  Carefully start one lag bolt with washer using the socket and ratchet into one of the masonry fasteners.  Tighten 1-2 turns, then start the second lag bolt and tighten 1-2 turns.  Make sure fasteners are not pulling out of masonry wall.
  11. Make sure the feeder is seated properly against both walls and tighten both lag bolts snuggly against wall.
