Mounting Brackets
First, slip one hopper extension on the basic
feeder. Then, slip one 4-40 fine thread screw through one washer and into
the lower end of the extension which will be next to the bracket, and tighten
securely. Next, install 4 ea. #6 x 3/8" long screws making sure the
rubber feet protrude through the 2 holes in the bracket. Install the
retaining strap (right) with the small 4-40 fine thread screw into the hopper
extension. Do not use a washer under this screw. You can then
attach the strap to the bracket and into a 2 x 4 using two of the 4 supplied #8
x 1/2" long screws. If you mount it to a pipe, you will need to use a
couple of screws and nuts to tighten the strap to the bracket (not
supplied). Additional straps may be purchased and attached to upper hopper
extension to stabilize stacked extensions. Each feeder also has a small
plastic loop clamp (not pictured) under the feeder and in the recessed area,
which you can use to secure the power adapter cord, whether is is plugged into
the jack or attached to the terminal strip. You should not use a jack plug
outdoors because it may let water in the electronics compartment.

Pipe mount using cable ties
If you think animals like raccoons may be able to put their paws into the chute underneath the hood on the KSF-2, you may use
the following technique below to keep that from happening. It's very effective, easy to do, and the pellets will still go through.
