(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 stand or other mount as shown with two large head screws on each side of bracket (4 ea. supplied). (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, but that is o.k. (7) Lift rubber plug to expose feed time controls. (8) Place bowl under feeder, push reset switch and food should come out. If not enough food is 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 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, place one "on" tab at time you want to trigger the feeder, then place one "off" tab anytime 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 for each time you want to feed.　 For all timers, program at least 45-60 minutes of "off" time between feed cycles to reset feeder. Reset "off" time 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, 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.　 Finally, push the reset button (8) one final time for 5 seconds to void the normal reset time while remote timer is off. Finally, plug remote timer in wall socket (14). At 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 washers. NOTE: Terminal strip underneath feeder can also be used with a wire of your choice to power adapter.　 FEEDER ONLY APPROVED FOR　6 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.
