The fish feeder will come completely assembled, but you will have to install the battery and timer. You’ll receive detailed assembly instructions with your fish feeder, but it’s really pretty simple.
- Remove the main feeder lid and inner canister lid.
- Unwrap the battery and timer from their protective packaging and locate the three wires: one for the timer and two for the battery.
- Slide the wires onto the battery terminals matching up red to red and black to black and set the battery in the canister with the wires toward the top.
- Push the timer plug into the side of the timer and set the timer inside the canister.
- Follow the operating instructions on the back of the timer to set the clock and run times.
*We recommend 2 settings per day: 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening, with a run time of 3-4 seconds. This will feed approximately 1.5 lbs of fish food per feeding. - Carefully arrange the timer, battery and wires back inside the canister and replace the lid – making sure none of the terminals are touching the aluminum and you don’t pinch any of the wires with the lid.
- Replace the main feeder body lid and secure it using the green cable.
- Mount the feeder onto a 2” square post about 2-3’ off the water using the bolts provided.
