I purchased one of these a month ago along with the recommended line. I cannot get the bump feed to actually feed. Any ideas?

You tube "echo speed feed" there are several videos out there. Or copy and paste this: http://youtu.be/kqO3kKZttWc

Mine was working for a little bit then the bit that spins the feeder broke. Unfortunately I found out while on vacation. Tried to fix it but couldn't. So when the time came for the feeder to feed, it wouldn't spin. I don't think your missing a step. I noticed this thing broke really easily. Probably fed 2 cycles on mine and then broke.

I have that exact model and never could get it to work, but I purchased a used emitter on e-bay, that may have been my problem. Sorry that's probably not a lot of help other than not to purchase a used part.

When I bought mine last year I had the same problem. Even level it didn't work. Called company and they sent me two little pieces of PVC pipe that were cut to fit over the places where the water tank nozzles are pushed up and are supposed to empty. Not explaining it well but basically if it won't work after being level, call the company and they can help.

I started having that issue when I first got this. I realized my problem was overfilling. The liquid level needs to be around the level stated in the instructions. Once you get an idea of where that is using the funnel, you can eyeball it from that point and you should not have anymore problems.

I have found that shake and water afterwards works best. It makes the feed trickle into the dirt :)

Sorry your having problems. I set-up two profiles on mine, the first on did just fine but the second one did like yours. After a couple of trys and adjusting where I stand on the scales it started working right. The scales have to be level, feet dry and covering the silver circles completely. Hope this helps!

Is this the first feeder you have had in that area?Maybe move it to another place. Make sure your seed is fresh. You can try mixing fine sunflower chips with the thistleBe patient

I had the same problem, probably water going from top tank to the bottom one is not fast enough to fill water above the sensor. I was changing level a little bit (adding something very small under the Luma and found the best angle (very small change) and now is working without problems more than 1 year

Mine doesn't have any play in it. Maybe there is some type of defect? It might be worth it to do an exchange on it....after you hear from other purchasers to see if any others have the same problem. Sorry I could be of more help!

I bought this for my husband, and he does all the feeding. I think you unscrew the center top and lift if off. If that doesn't work, email me back, and I'll ask him how it works. Thanks. Diane. Email me at ddw@srt.com.

Make sure you have charged the top of the feeder. It will have a green onsite near the off/on switch. To test it touch the feeder and push the remote button. You should get a slight shock if it is working!

After the 6th feeding and filling the feeder with food I hit start tomorrow and it works for the next six feedings. Hopefully this helps.

I have only used the trimmer ounce but had no trouble at all with the bump feed.

You may want to send it back for a replacement. I myself, as well as my pet, love this feeder and I would recommend this feeder because not only is it a healthy way of feeding but it holds the right amount of food for my pet. The people who designed this feeder are very concerned about satisfaction and wellness of your pet.

Mine leaked as well and I discovered that if I tilt the feeding tube back a bit it helped. In other words raise the end up. Sometimes it helps to totally stop the leaking and other times to a small drip. At least its better.
