Operating instructions

Once a suitable, level location for the feeder is identified and the unit is properly erected, open lid and fill container with feed/seed to desired capacity, never to exceed 150 lbs.

Once done, close the lid and lock the latch securely to insure it does not come off in the event of high winds, etc.

This unit is designed to be used primarily with 1/4” or smaller fish food. This unit is not intended to be used with a wide variety of other type feeds. The unit can accommodate other types of feed but depending on both the brand and type of feed being used, you may encounter instances whereby the feed may bridge or clog over the funnel opening leading to the power control unit. In the event that this happens, you can clear the bridge manually, but it is then recommended to use 1/4” or smaller fish food with this feeder and not alternative of feed products that may be more affected by moisture.

Each and every feeder design endures a rigorous field-test routine prior to coming to market, but no feeder can address all the environmental and feed type variations. With this being said, consider all the factors when operating this feeder and be sure to assess all of your environmental factors thoroughly.

GENERAL SAFETY

Always make sure that the unit is placed on level ground/surface and is level before you fill the hopper with any feed. If the unit is not level and the hopper is full, you run the serious risk of the unit tipping over and causing harm to both you and the product itself. Always exercise caution and care when loading/filling the unit with feed material. Please make sure that the unit is properly supported so there is no chance of anyone getting hurt.

SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE

To insure proper functionality and a long life, BA Products strongly recommends that you service your feeder at least once every year.

The Model #ADF-150 should have the hopper thoroughly cleaned out at least once a year. Some feed types have the tendency to cake and may build up over time, thus reducing overall hopper capacity, clogging feed flow or generally interfering with the overall functionality of the feeder unit.

It is also important to check the bolts located at the hopper flange regularly to insure that they are securely tightened and have not come lose. With prolonged use in the field, animals and other forces may exert force against the feeder unit which may cause certain components of the feeder unit to loosen.
