section of the carriage bolt into the wall of the hopper. This 
will give more thread length at the end of the bolt to remove 
the nut and reinsert the lockwasher onto the bolt then 
reinsert the nut and tighten.

each bolt then slide a lockwasher onto each bolt. Thread an 
M8 nut onto each bolt and tighten using a 13mm wrench or 
socket set (

) while 

pivoting the bracket on the flow control assembly over and 
behind the curved guard (

flow control assembly bracket is not centered in slot on the 
curved guard, rotate the curved guard up or down as needed 
to center the hole in the bracket with the slot on the guard 
(
