Instructions are to long winded for me.
Illustration is OK though, but needs part ID to help stop reading instructions
Wire cradle for feed head is a bitch to fit
Everything else fairly straight forward.
It works
But having teething problems with mine - thread to follow.
Once i get it sorted it will be a good buy at the price.
Top Tips:
1) Use thicker oil than Engine oil.
2) Place bottle where you can squeeze it while riding or you'll end up with a pool of oil on the ground before heading off.
3) get the feed head as close as possible to the sprocket making the feed legs as short as possible.

UPDATE:
So it's been on a while doing it's job and initial reaction was
" Oh fook, look at that fling on my rear wheel "
Glad to report i haven't had any scary moments with it being there but my chicken strips are huge
So i stopped squeezing it and waited for the chain to go just about dry before doing another , that has never come - seems to be an auto lube !!
What I reckon is the bottle is heating up and cooling down and this is delivering a small amount of oil into the system which is
Out today working on the bike and there is still some fling on the tyre but not puddles. The chain is the cleanest i have ever seen it and wet, the sprocket is clean which no thick gunge from spray lube and it was a doddle to clean everything off. Some parts cleaner on a rag and a wipe and it was done
Still very happy with it.
MM!

I've just removed mine as all the pipes have gone solid with the climate here - going to source some silicone based tubing to help it stay flexible.
Chain still looks good but back to using a rattle can for the moment
