Recommendations:
We recommend using only 1 bird feeder per hanger, the FeedSavr works at its best using 3 bird feeders.
Weight capacity of each hanger is approximately 8 lbs. Feeders that are too heavy can cause damage to your FeedSavr.
Placement of your FeedSavr is critical. For your Feedsavr to be critter resistant, place in yard away from houses, outbuildings and
trees.
Assembly Instructions:
1.
Dig foundation hole approximately 3 times the diameter of the ground sleeve. Recommended dimensions are 6 inches in diameter
by 18 inches deep. If using cement to secure ground sleeve, dig hole five times the diameter of the ground sleeve recommended 10
inches in diameter.
2.
Plumb ground sleeve and secure so that it will not move when dirt (or cement) is filled in around the sleeve. Keep inside of sleeve
free from dirt or cement.
3.
Use bottom section of the pole and a level to check for straightness. Pack dirt in around ground sleeve.
4.
Assemble FeedSavr hangers. Screw the 3 black feeder hangers into the threaded holes in the black hanger sleeve (Do Not Over
Tighten) hooks pointing up.
5.
Slide the Tripod on to the bottom pole section with the ends of the three L shaped pins facing up (do not tighten wing nut). Take
both halves of the metal squirrel guard (deflector) in your hands. Slide the two halves of the deflector plates together (one folded
lip into the other) to make a complete circle. Place the hole in the deflector plate over the bottom section of pole above the tripod.
6.
Line up rope cleat with holes in middle section aluminum pole. Insert screws and tighten with a screw driver until just snug. (Do Not
Over Tighten). When the pole is completely assembled the cleat will be closest to the upper pole section.
7.
Slide the hanger sleeve assembly on the middle section of pole, above the rope cleat, with slotted rope hood open side down.
8.
Tie a knot on one end of the rope, feed the other end of the rope through the pulley and tie a knot in that end of the rope. Hold
both ends of the rope in one hand. Slide the end of the rope from the side of the pulley that will be closest to the pole through the
rope hood on the side of the hanger sleeve and pull on the rope until the knot slides under the hood.
9.
Place the middle section of the pole on to the bottom pole section. Place the pulley assembly on the female end of the top pole
section and tighten set screw.
10.
Line the slotted hood on the hanger assembly up with the wheel on the pulley assembly.
11.
Secure the Tripod just below the cleat with the bolt and wing nut provided.
If you want to mount the FeedSavr on your deck we have a support stand that can be attached to your deck. (sold separately).
