Page 5: Programming The Timer
Introduction You will find there are several possible feeding options for your horse with the Stable Grazer. First, you need to decide how many times per day you would like to feed. We recommend a minimum of three feedings a day (more is even bet- ter) because we believe that frequent, consistent feedings best simulate grazing and are most beneficial for your horse.

So, for example, if you want to feed four times a day you would program timer number 1 thru 4 with your feeding times and set the run time to :02 seconds.

Page 9: Loading The Feeder
Loading the Feeder Instructions You will need to decide how much of your horse’s diet will be hay forage. Again, we recommend feeding a mini- mum of three times a day for optimal health. If this is what you choose, the next step is to divide the amount of hay forage you want to feed each day by the number of feedings.
Page 10 (2, 4, or 6 feedings). The Stable Grazer can be loaded after an odd number of feed- ings; the cam shaft will simply need to be retimed and each shelf will need to be loaded.
Page 11: Care And Maintenance
Care and Maintenance Cleaning and Care The stable Grazer requires very little cleaning. The dry hay fines and dust that will inevitably accumulate inside the feeder should present no problems for the operation of the feeder. However, it is best to clean out the excess matter periodically because when the dust and hay fines become damp from humidity or rain and snow, problems can arise.
