Mounting for Optional Stand with Cabinet:

You will need the following tools:
  • Control Feeder Stand
  • Electric Drill and Screwdriver
  • Two 2x4 Wood Pieces
  • Optional: 3/4" hose cut to desired length to extend out of stall
Installation:
  1. The stand needs to be bolted to the feeder with the three 1/2" black carriage bolts, washers and nuts, which are supplied.
  2. The rounded head of the bolt shows on the outside of the feeder.  When the nut is tightened, the bolt will sit snugly against the feeder.  Put on washer and one nut on each carriage bolt and tighten.
    NOTE:  The Z-bracket is not used when the feeder is installed with the stand.  We prefer that the feeder and stand are mounted above the stall floor.  We have found in our testing that setting the assembled stand and feeder on a temporary spacer, such as the 3 1/2" edge of a 2x4, works well for most horses.
  3. Temporarily attach a couple of 2x4 pieces in the corner.  The can be removed when the installation is complete.
  4. At this time, determine if you need or want to extend the drain at rear of the stand.  A 3/4" hose will fit over the 1/2" IPT threads of the 90 degree plastic fitting.
  5. Set the feeder with the bolted-on stand on the temporary 2x4 spacers.  This allows the feeder and the stand to be suspended ave the stall floor and will make cleaning the stall easier, as well as help keep shavings out of the storage area.
  6. Remove the disk.
  7. With the lid in the closed position, lift the feeder and stand into position on top of the 2x4's.  Make sure the feeder is seated flat against the corner walls.
  8. While pushing the feeder flat against the wall, mark the two mounting-hole positions.
  9. At this point, prefer to the final steps of either the wooden wall or masonry wall instructions and complete the installation.

REMEMBER! Don't forget to reach inside the stand and connect the drain hose in the stand to the connector on the bottom of the feeder.  (This is a standard garden hose fitting; just make sure you don't cross-thread so that you get a water tight seal.) Hand tighten.

NOTE: A small flashlight stored in the front of the included 5 1/2"x 10" storage tray is a handy item for finding what you are looking for in the storage area.
