FAQ's
Q: How do I load the hay?
Remove two of the four feed plate retaining buckles by moving the buckle and washer to the end of the strap and rotate them vertically. Push them upward through the slot in the feed plate. Lift the plate up and fill the feeder with hay. Push the buckle and washer together and feed through the slot for each strap. It's not complicated! Just watch our video to see how fast and easy it is to load the feeder.
Q: How much hay does the HelixFeeder hold?
The feeder can easily hold 50 pounds of hay. It works just a well with lesser amounts of hay and hay of any type.
Q: Should I attach my HelixFeeder to a wall or post?
We recommend that you don't attach the feeder to anything. This allows the helical coils to work properly and gets the horse's mind working as they eat. Securing the feeder to a wall or post while feeding on the ground is not covered under our warranty. That said, if you really need to secure the feeder you can by using a soft bungy cord..
Q: How do I clean the HelixFeeder?
Release two of the four buckles and hang the feeder upside down by the two bottom loops. Using a hose, spray down the outside and inside of the feeder. If the feeder becomes caked with mud, it's time to clean it so it has the flexibility to work at its best.
Q: Can I soak hay in a HelixFeeder?
Yes. You can soak your hay directly inside of the feeder. Just submerge the hay filled feeder in tub with enough water to cover the hay inside the feeder. Drain the tub or simply lift the feeder out of the tub. The feeder will drain completely while the horse eats so just use feeder as you normally would.
Q: Is the HelixFeeder safe to use in any situation?
Yes. Any horse using the feeder must have hooves that are at least one inch larger in width than the diameter of the openings in the feeder plate.
Q: Can I use the feeder hanging on a wall?
Yes. The HelixFeeder can be hung on its side by looping a length of soft bungy cord through the top and bottom straps that are located on the side of the feeder. Tie the bungy cord off at head height. This will allow the horse to eat from the feeder while allowing the helical coils to compress as the horse empties the feeder.
