• Make sure that the thumb screw is not protruding from the inner wall. Push the adaptor into the threaded boss making sure that the ridge which runs down the outside of the adaptor is aligned with the corresponding groove on the inside of the boss. N.B. when using the 12mm adaptor the 22mm adaptor will need to be inserted into the threaded boss first.
• Fit the assembled baffle to your feeding device.
Raise the baffle to the highest point on the pole that is practical. Tighten the thumb screw to secure
the baffle in place.
• Position the feeding device so that squirrels can only approach the feeder/s from below so that their path to the feeders in obstructed by the baffle. Squirrels are good at jumping; make sure there are not platforms nearby that will allow them to jump onto the upper part of the pole thus avoiding the baffle.

Care
We recommend that you clean your feeders (and all bird feeding devices) with a mild disinfectant solution once every two months or more often in warm weather. Remove as much old food and debris as possible. Wash and thoroughly rinse all items*
Periodically reposition your feeders and tables to a different area within the garden to avoid an accumulation of unhygienic deposits.
* Wash equipment outdoors, wear gloves and wash hands thoroughly afterwards.
