the hoppers can be bolted to the supports. Refer to the
drawing for approximate dimensions in inches. You
may need to re-adjust the supports again when
mounting the hoppers.

4. Make sure auger is assembled correctly. Tilt the hop-
per so you can see the auger. Using a wrench to rotate
the shaft, turn the shaft in the same direction the drill
will travel. Watch that the auger rotates so fertilizer will
be pushed to the outside. If fertilizer will be pulled to
the center of the hopper, remove auger shaft and re-
assemble properly.
