Filling the Tank:

1. Prepare the Tank: Place the tank on a flat surface with the handle down.
2. Add Syrup or Water: Remove the cap and fill the tank with 1 gallon of room temperature syrup or water. Avoid using warm or hot syrup as it can create pressure and cause dripping. Don't forget to add HiveAlive!
3. Fill to the Top: Make sure to fill the tank completely to create a vacuum. Partial fills won’t work properly.
4. Secure the Cap: Screw the cap on firmly but don’t overtighten.
5. Check for Leaks: Invert the tank while covering the nipple with your hand. If it leaks, reseal and tighten the cap.
6. Store the Tank: Keep the tank stored with the nipple facing up. You can hold the tank by the side grips or the cap.

Installing a Single Feeder:

1. Fill the Tank: Ensure the tank is filled to the top.
2. Prepare the Hive: Place a medium or deep box on the inner cover.
3. Position the Tank: Place the tank on the inner cover, holding it by the sides. Ensure the nipple fits into the center hole using the alignment pins for correct placement.
4. Secure the Hive: Install the telescoping cover. Use a rock or strap to keep the cover in place.

Installing Dual Feeders or a Raised Tank:

1. Fill the Tank: Ensure the tank is filled to the top.
2. Attach the Riser Feet: Remove the 4 riser feet from the cap and attach them to the bottom of the cap. The alignment pins should fit into the support rings.
3. Store Riser Feet (Optional): When not in use, store the riser feet on the top side of the cap.
4. Prepare the Hive: Place a medium or deep box on the inner cover.
5. Position the Tank: Place the tank anywhere on the inner cover, holding it by the sides. For 8-frame boxes, use 1 feeder; for 10-frame boxes, you can use 2 feeders.
6. Secure the Hive: Install the telescoping cover. Use a rock or strap to keep the cover in place.

IMPORTANT NOTES
■ The tank may drip a little until a vacuum is formed.
■ Always fill tank with room temperature syrup to prevent dripping from pressure build up from hot/warm syrup.
■ Fill the Tank to the brim before installing.
■ If tank continues to drip, make sure the gasket is properly seated and the cap is firmly screwed on. To test seal put hand over nipple and invert, if leaking re-seat/tighten cap. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
■ Installing a partially filled tank will cause excessive dripping until vacuum is formed, always refill tank to top before re-installing.
■ Changes in temperature and barometric pressure may cause a small temporary drip.
■ Bee Smart Feeder MUST be used with an inner cover.
■ Works with any 8 or 10 Frame hive.
■ Syrup level is easily viewed without opening hive or disturbing bees
