Hopper Sheets
When starting to attach hopper sheets to sidewall it is recommend that the first hopper sheet seam be
positioned halfway between leg positions. Lap the hopper sheets as shown in
Figure 11B on Page 55 .
Apply two (2) strips of caulking on all seams at sidewall to hopper and hopper sheet to hopper sheet. Be
sure to place the head of the truss bolt on the inside of hopper. Leave one hopper sheet out to allow room
to install hopper collar. Be sure to use two (2) strips of caulking between hopper collar and hopper sheets,
then put last hopper sheet in place.
