Improperly installing the feed funnel on your Moultrie Feeder can cause all the feed to pour out of the feeder, or it can clog it completely. Below is short video that will help explain how the feed funnel works. Also included are some examples of our various feeder kits and proper ways to install them.

Before troubleshooting you will need to identify what feeder kit you have. Feeder kits manufactured after 2019 come with an adjustable funnel built in to the kit itself. No funnel installation is required.

- If using the Quick-Lock feeder kit with an older model Break Down Hopper as shown above, simply put the feed funnel through the Adapter Ring before bolting the adapter to the bottom of the hopper. The QL Adapter is included with the QL Kits.
- If using a traditional bolt-on feeder kit (non Quick-Lock), the funnel will go inside the hopper.
- If you are using a feeder kit purchased after 2019 then it will have a built-in adjustable funnel as shown above. Metal funnel is not required.
- There should only be 1/4" to 5/8" gap between the feed funnel and spin plate.

- If using the Quick-Lock motor kit without a built-in funnel, put the feed funnel through the Adapter Ring before bolting the adapter to the barrel.
- If using a Quick-Lock motor kit with a built-in funnel, simply bolt the QL Adapter to the bottom of the barrel. The QL Adapter is included with the QL Kits, or they can also be found here. The metal funnel is not required.
- There should only be 1/4" to 5/8" gap between the feed funnel and spin plate.
Pro Tip: The All-In-One, NXT Hunter, Gravity Feeder, Directional Feeder, Quick-Lock Directional, and Pro-Magnum motor kits all have a built-in feed funnel above the spin plate and do not require feed funnel installation.
