ONE-HOLE SUPPORT: Insert one-hole support into the left-hand side support guide with tab facing away from the spin plate.
TWO-HOLE SUPPORT: Insert two-hole support into the right-hand side support guide with tab facing towards the spin plate.

While holding the tab on the bottom of the door, pull up and then back towards you to unhook it from the door guides.

From the inside of the feeder kit, remove the timer from the stand for clearance and thread (1) M6 bolt into each welded nut and tighten, ensuring that the bolts pass through the vertical support adjustment slots.
Place (1) flat washer and (1) wingnut on both
protruding bolts on the outside of the feeder kit and hand tighten the
wingnut.
The feeder kit can be moved up/down to accommodate various feed types.

-
Place the mounting plate onto the top of the vertical supports with the funnel facing downwards, and all 3 bolt holes aligned.
