12" Standard Profile Hopper Assembly

A. Attach the rubber hopper wheel to the back of

the swing-away hopper using two (2) 5/8" flat
washers and 3/16" x 2" cotter pins. (See Fig.
2-B)

B. Fasten two (2) hopper caster wheels to front of

hopper using (4) 3/8" x 1-1/4" long (grade 5) hex
head capscrews and nylon locknuts for each
wheel.

FIG. 2-B

The hopper hanger bearing and bearing stub are pre-assembled on the swing-
away hopper. Therefore, in the drawings, those parts were exploded away from
the hopper to better show the proper assembly of the other components.

Tighten locknuts so the flat washers are firmly against the rubber sleeves.
DO NOT tighten so tight that the flat washers are against the flight tube.
Leave about 1/16" gap.
