Installing the Hopper Frame
1.
Remove the hairpin from the hopper frame. Insert
the hopper frame into the LH hopper mount bracket
(see Figure 15). Rest the other end of the hopper
frame between the tabs on the RH hopper mount
bracket. Reinstall the hairpin to secure the hopper
frame.
Note:
If the hopper frame does not seat properly in
the mount brackets, carefully use the hopper frame
to slightly adjust the alignment of the brackets. The
frame is designed to initially fit tight in the mounting
brackets. It may be necessary to use a mallet to
install.
