Introduction
The WILDGAME INNOVATIONS Quick-Set 225 lb Game Feeder is designed to efficiently attract and pattern game by providing automated feed dispersal. This durable tripod feeder features a digital timer for customizable feeding schedules and a robust poly barrel construction for long-term outdoor use.
Setup
Assembly of the Quick-Set feeder is designed for speed and ease, typically requiring only about 15 minutes before it is fully operational.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify all components are present according to the packing list.
- Assemble Legs: The feeder comes with heavy-duty coated legs. Connect the 12-piece leg kit to form the tripod base. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Attach Feeder Unit: Secure the poly barrel and the digital timer unit to the assembled tripod legs. The built-in funnel should align with the galvanized steel spinner plate.
- Install Battery: A 6-volt battery (not included) is required to power the digital timer. Connect the battery leads to the appropriate terminals inside the control box. Ensure correct polarity.
- Position Feeder: Place the feeder in your desired location. Consider the 30-foot feed radius when choosing a spot to ensure optimal feed dispersal. The weather-resistant design allows for outdoor placement.
