Installing the Hopper Cone Section on
the Floor Stand Assembly
After the hopper floor stand assembly has been secured to the floor, install the hopper
cone section on the floor stand using the following steps.
IMPORTANT:
You will need to consider the installation of your entire drying
system before permanently placing any system component.
1
Make sure any hoses, wires, etc. attached to the floor stand and cone section
(for shipping purposes), are positioned away from the mating surfaces of the
assemblies
so they will not be damaged during this procedure.

Using a forklift, hoist, or crane, lift the cone section assembly above the floor
stand.
CAUTION:
To prevent accident and injury, lift the cone and hopper sections onto
the floor stand assembly using a forklift, hoist, or crane.

Set the cone section on the floor stand as shown.
Make sure the holes in the cone
section mounting lugs align with the holes in the top of the floor stand assembly.

the floor stand assembly
using the four (4) sets of
1/2 inch - 13 hardware
supplied.
