STABLE GRAZER GENERATION II Installation Manual Download Page 2

Congratulations  on  your  purchase  of  the 

Stable  Grazer®  Generation  II

  automatic  hay  feeder.  The 

following instructions may be used as a general guide for installing the 

Stable Grazer® Generation II. 

If  you  are  unsure  of  your  ability  to  install  the 

Stable  Grazer®  Generation  II

  you  should  consult  a 

licensed  contractor.  Before  modifying  any  structure,  consult  with  your  local  building  inspector to  be 
certain of your local and state building codes. 

The 

Stable  Grazer®

  is  very  versatile  and  can  be  mounted  almost  anywhere.  Several  different 

installations will be covered in this guide. Whichever installation you choose, it is recommended that 
the feeder be installed in such a way that your horse can not access the door. If your only choice is to 
install  the  feeder  so  your  horse  has  access  to  the  door,  it  will  be  necessary  to  install  some  type  of 
device to keep the horse from rubbing on the door area. The  following  installations are  for reference 
only.  Each  situation  is  different,  therefore  making  it  impossible  to  give  exact  information. 

You  are 

responsible for determining your own measurements.
