8. Mount the material conveying system receivers on the top of the
blender supply hoppers.
9. Align the weigh hopper on the load cell brackets. Carefully adjust the
load cell brackets to ensure that the weigh hopper is centered on the
brackets without rocking. If for some reason the locating tabs do not
align with the weigh hopper, they can easily be loosened and adjusted.
Important!
Use extreme care when tightening bolts on top of the load cells so
you do not spring the load cells. The load cells are extremely
delicate and should be treated with care!
