Use 2” bolts (No.14) for the two lower holes in each side. In

HCO Collapsible Game Feeder (225/450) Installation Instruction
The large flat washer will be on the outside of the feeder. Use
the lock nut (No.17) for inside of the feeder.
* Tip: Leave a long bottom bolt off of two of the legs until after
step 10. This will make assembly easy later.
2 The lip on the side panels will face to the inside of the feeder.
3 Repeat step 1 until all four sides are assembled, making sure
the leg bases are attached. Make sure the two panels with the
¼” holes in the center top are opposite each other. Do not fully
tighten bolts yet.
4 The bottom part of the feeder is put together using Item No. 5
referred to as “Pan” in the illustration. There are four small
panels that make up the bottom pan. Secure together with the
0.625” bolts (No.15) and lock nuts (No.17). Do not tighten just
yet. The lip will face outward when assembled.
5 Put together the gravity feed head. Slide Item No.6 (chute) and
Item No.7 (chute) together making a chute. You will notice a lip
on the sides of each chute piece. You will slide the two
together to form the chute. Later you will attach the gravity
head tray using the 4 thumb screws and flat washers (No.16).
6 Attach the gravity feed chute to the bottom of the feeder
referred to as the “Pan” (No.5) which makes up the bottom of
the feeder by sliding the chute down through the square hole
of the “Pan” using four of the 0.625” bolts (No.15) and lock
nuts (No.17). Tighten securely.
7 Now tighten all the nuts and bolts of the bottom “Pan”.
8 Place the assembled “Pan” (bottom part of the feeder) down
through the top of the main body of the feeder. You will need
to angle the assembled “Pan” with the chute attached. The lip
on each of the four sides will hang on the lip of the feeder body.
NOW attach the last two long bolts through the legs left off in
step 1 (If you choose to follow the Tip).
9 Tighten all bolts at this point.
10 The tray of the feed head is secured to the chute by using 4
thumb screws and 4 small flat washers (No.16). Note: Feed
head is designed to allow for feed flow adjusting with the
thumb screws.
11 The lid of the feeder is secured by the two springs and S
hooks provided. Use the two thumb screws and flat washers
(No.16) to secure each spring to the two side panels that have
the holes toward the top. When complete the lid is held
securely in place by attaching the end of the spring with the S
hook to the small hole in the middle of each side of the lid.
12 Place the feeder on its side and attach the supplied legs to the
feeder. Add the leg pieces (No. 10&11). Align the bolt holes
between the leg bracket (No.14) and the upper leg (No.10).
Repeat this with the upper and lower leg. Once aligned,
secure with thru bolts (No.18) through the two joints in the
assembly. Repeat this for all four legs, and then stand the
feeder upright.
13 Check all bolts one last time to make sure they are tight.
14 Now the feeder is now ready for use. Good Luck!
