Raccoon Problem?
If you think animals like raccoons may be able to put their paws into the chute underneath the hood on the KSF-2, you may use the following technique below to keep that from happening. It's very effective, easy to do, and the pellets will still go through
Preventive Maintenance Information
It is recommended that you periodically inspect and remove excess food residue that may have accumulated on the drum and the slide at the chute’s outlet. Never use sharp objects to clean parts of your feeder, especially the special stick resistant and flexible polypropylene slide. A soft dampened cloth works best to wipe off excess food residue. For a simple cleaning of your Super Feeder, you may clean the interior of your feeder by brushing the roller with a tooth brush and wiping the inside parts with a damp cloth. Empty the machine and remove extensions leaving only one on the dispenser itself. Plug the power supply directly into an outlet and swipe the tooth brush side to side while running the machine by pushing the reset switch several times as needed. Use a vacuum want to remove residue. Wipe inside clean.
For a more thorough cleaning, you may also remove the six small screws retaining the base of the feeder. The base will come out with gear box and electronics board all in one piece. You can then submerge the whole upper housing in soapy water for a while and flush it all out under a faucet. Thoroughly dry it and re-assemble the base while holding the feeder upside down, making sure that the slide shaker loop wire is resting against the bottom of the slide so the slide will shake.
The shaking action of the flexible distribution slide is primarily designed to help expel food without clogging, portion accuracy and prevent bridging inside the machine. The click-clack sound will also alert your pet at meal time like a slot machine. If you want a quieter operation, you can disable that feature as follows: Facing the chute outlet, lift slide, and using a thin small object, flip the trip-wire loop underneath the slide forward and down (toward you) and away from the bottom of the slide.
