3. Before setting tank on hopper structure, make sure poly base sealer has been applied to bottom lip
of tank base angle. Set tank on hopper compression ring and align the holes in stiffener base plates
with the holes in the compression ring. Bolt stiffener base plate, compression ring and support
column top plate with two (2) 5/8" x 2-3/4" hex head bolt per stiffener. Shim all stiffener base plates

when needed. Align 4" bin hold-down with hole in center of compression element and attach with
5/8" x 1-1/2" hex head bolt. Field drill six (6) 3/8" diameter holes in tank sidewall to match pattern in
