Terminal strip underneath feeder may be used instead
of plug for direct bare wire hook-up to keep your pet
away from power adapter plug/wire. (See Fig. 13)
The Super Feeder is only approved for 9 to 24 volt AC
or DC. Any other power adapter with that voltage
range can be used. DO NOT power with higher voltage
because you will void the warranty.
You should place your Super Feeder so that its power
adapter and timer will be within reach of a suitable
power outlet and not easily accessible to your pet. If
you think that your pet may be capable of pulling the
cord’s plug out of the feeder’s jack, be sure to loop the
wire around and under the end of the feeder through
the plastic cable clamp located underneath the feeder.
(See Fig. 13)
If your pet is prone to chewing on the wire, or the feeder
is installed outdoors, you should use larger wire slipped
through 1⁄2" vinyl tubing or other protective device
(available at most lumber stores or purchased from
Super Feed) from the power adapter to the auxiliary
input power strip screws located underneath the feeder.
If planning on using the feeder outside, be sure to
keep the power adapter indoors or well sheltered and
to follow the remote timer manufacturer’s instructions
and recommendations. If you cannot keep the supplied
indoor power adapter and/or timer out of the weather,
outdoor power adapters and timers are also available
from us.
Cleaning information
It is highly recommended that you periodically
inspect and remove excess food residue that may have
accumulated on the slide at the chute’s outlet. Never use
sharp objects to clean parts of your feeder, especially the
special stick resistant and flexible polypropylene slide.
A soft dampened cloth works best to wipe off excess
food residue.
For a thorough cleaning of your Super Feeder, you may
clean the interior of your feeder by brushing the roller
with a tooth brush and wiping the inside parts with a
damp cloth. You may also remove the six small screws
retaining the base of the feeder. The base will come out
General Information
with gear box and electronics board all in one piece.
You can then submerge the whole upper housing in
soapy water for a while and flush it out under a faucet.
Thoroughly dry it and re-assemble the base while
holding the feeder upside down, making sure that the
slide shaker loop wire is resting against the bottom of
the slide so the slide will shake.
The shaking action of the distribution slide is primarily
designed to help expel food and prevent clogging. It
is also used to alert your pet at meal time like a slot
machine. If you want a quieter operation, you can
disable that feature as follows: Facing the chute outlet,
lift slide, and using a thin small object, flip the trip-wire
loop underneath the slide forward and down (toward
you) and away from the bottom of the slide.
Note: You should not disable shaking action if using a
chute cover! Use the smallest food possible with the chute
cover. 1/4" round pellets are perfect and recommended!
