Troubleshooting, cont.
1. Feeding time too long. Using the supplied small plastic
screwdriver, turn portion controller’s dial or slotted sha to
the le in ne increments to achieve correct timing for desired
portion size.
2. Gate opening too wide. Reduce gate to roller gap by turning
large black screw above chute opening clockwise.
Unit Expels too much food?
Wires too exposed. Protect wires using exible vinyl tubing
or wire protective material found at Home Depot or Lowe’s or
oce supply place. Hide wires as much as possible. We also have
a wire protective Flex Guard available online.
Animals chew on feeder wires
Food type will dramatically aect portion accuracy with at
and/or large kibbles in any feeder. Best performance has been
shown using 1/4" diameter pellets from Science Diet Brand
or other uniformly shaped kibbles. You may ask about a slow-
drive replacement power adapter for very small portions if the
distribution roller spins too quickly.
Food comes out but portions not accurate
enough (CSF-3 model)
Install chute cover and/or tighten gate with black screw.Pet lis slide to get food out
Tighten/close gate with large black screw (more friction), mount
feeder bracket to wall or other item like play stand (mount
feeder either low on bowl or high up out of pet reach), or if
using plastic feeder mount, fasten base to larger plywood piece
that pets will stand on when eating.
Pet knocks food out of feeder easily
Check for stuck kibbles between distribution slide and chute
opening and/or roller. You may also disable slide shaking
mechanism (check manual for directions)--not recommended
with pellets/kibbles larger than 1/4" thick by 3/8" long.
Feeder very noisy
Make sure existing screws protrude into half-moon recesses of
inner extension or feeder. Use extra strap or wire at upper part
of upper extension (not Super Feeder Stand) and/or carefully
drill and install longer screws all the way through extensions,
or glue extensions with silicone sealant. Securely attach feeder!
