If you’re adding the Feeder Helper to an existing feeder, you must remove the timer from the feeder. Once seperated, simply install everything as stated below.

For New Installation: On a flat surface, place your Feeder Helper upside down to mount your timer. With you timer squared and center on the Feeder Helper, either drill the appropriate bolt pattern or use the self-drilling screws. Timers come in a variety of mounting designs, simply install your timer to the Feeder Helper as you would to any deer feeder.

• For metal barrels, use the (4) provided 5/16th head self-drilling screws in each corner square or towards the outermost perimeter as allowed. Do not over tighten mounting screws. The mounting scews may be loosened as needed to assist with correct valve operation, but a slightly tighter fit is preferred.
• For plastic barrels, use the (4) 1/8" x 2" toggle bolts and washers, placing one in each corner. A 3/8" Drill bit will be needed
• For plastic conical feeders with provided threaded holes, use their provided screws for mounting the Feeder Helper, then use our provided scews for mounting your timer to the Feeder Helper.

With the deer feeder in the upright position, join both halves by using the draw latche loops to help support the timer and replace the hinge screws. Do not operate the Feeder Helper if your deer feeder is upside down as the unbalanced, unsupported weight could compromise the hinges. You're finished.
