Troubleshooting

Trough is unstable when mounted.

Ensure the trough is mounted on a fence or rail of appropriate width. Check that the integral hooks are fully engaged and the stay pins are secured. If the mounting surface is uneven, consider shims or alternative securement methods.

Difficulty cleaning the trough.

Use a soft brush or sponge with warm, soapy water. For stubborn residue, a mild degreaser may be used, followed by thorough rinsing. Ensure all cleaning agents are removed before refilling for animal use.

Trough appears to be damaged by impact.

While designed to be impact-resistant, severe impacts can cause damage. Inspect the trough for cracks or deep gouges. Minor scuffs are normal wear and tear, but significant damage may compromise its integrity and require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The trough is designed for hook-over mounting. Simply position the trough so the integral moulded hooks align with the top edge of your fence, gate, or rail. Ensure the stay pins engage securely to prevent the trough from shifting. For optimal stability, use on rails or fences with a compatible width that allows the hooks to grip firmly.

Compatibility: This trough is suitable for a wide range of livestock including horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. It can be used for both dry feed and water. Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the weight of the trough when full.

Care: Cleaning is straightforward due to the smooth interior surface. Use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the plastic. Regular cleaning helps prevent the buildup of algae or feed residues, maintaining hygiene.
