Lift the left front of machine and pull out. You will then see a hidden button on the back of the machine.

I just used a simple hook. iIf you want to lower the balloon, I suggest using a bit of fishing line--it's flexible and won't break as easily as string.

My dog destroyed it (twice), so I don't 100% remember. If memory serves there weren't any buttons, just stitching.

There is a strap by their feet (you can't see it in photo above) and a button that you hold dsown. While holding the button you pull the strap to tighten the shoulder straps or pull the shoulder straps to loosen to them. It's easy.

You have to allocate the buttons on the controller with Nestopia. This is what you do: Options --> input. Select "Pad 1" and allocate the movements. Push "down" for down, "select" for select etc. Hope this works.

there is a plastic tab release on each side. There are a few different types. I don't remember if they are the press in type or the lever type that you push one side down and the other up. You can try both.

You could purchase some wooden dowels with the same diameter at Lowes and cut to length. They wouldn't have the same button end, but you may find a wooden bead that could work as a cap (if needed) at Hobby Lobby/ Walmart

Just lift the rope up place treat near opening and push rope down... Easy to fill...

Once you lower the unit, you would simply pull it open. I don't bother closing mine as it is used so frequently. The string would hang freely at one end. I put a hook on a nearby wall & hook the string there to make it safer as we have young children who might reach up and pull the string. I'm very pleased with this product overall.

I never noticed a button on mine. It just popped open when I pulled it like those fold up chairs. My dogs are older and were not interested in sleeping on these so I gave it to a friend. Her dogs love them. Sorry I wasn't much help.

There are a dozen or so buttons along the bottom. They're "hidden" in that if you iron along the seam, they sit inside and then fold the seam over.

Personally, I would sew or glue loops on the edge and then string on some type of string or twine. I guess you could staple them also but I'd prefer what ever method would do the less damage.

I discovered that the adjustment of tension can be modified by taking off the tension by unlatching the pawl then push the pawl until the nut clears the retaining pin and then screwing the nut in or out depending on whether you wish the tension increased or decreased once the lever(pawl) is latched. Directions should have been included to tell one this but not included with mine.

From another review: I made myself a little cheat sheet for the programming process, printed it out and stuck it on the fridge. Maybe it will help someone. I use two feeding times. Also I use the default "smallest" feeding portion, so I don't have to change that: 1) Turn feeder on. 2) Within 90 seconds, set time: 3) Press "Clock" to set hour / press "Timer" to set minute 4) Press "Set" to confirm. 5) Press "Clock" to toggle between 12/24 hours. 6) Press "Start" to confirm clock settings. 7) Display now shows "1 07" (first feeding at 0700) 8) Press "Set" for two seconds until display flashes. 9) Press "Timer" to set desired feeding time. 10) Press "Set" to program second feeding time. 11) Press "Timer" to set desired feeding time. 12) Press "Start" to save and exit. [To change portion size:] 14) Push VOL key to display portion size. 15) Press and hold the SET key until the digit blinks. 16) Press the VOL key to set the portion size. [ 1 = 1/4 cup, 2 = 1/2 cup etc... ] 17) Press the START key to confirm.

I use the same for all size dogs and my birds. I would just use the lower setting for smaller dog, especially if they tend to wiggle.
