Leave a gap of approximately 10mm between the spacer
channel and the side of the boiler at this stage of the
installation.

Lubricate the outer surface of the auger extension pipe (at the
unpainted end) with some silicone grease, washing up liquid or
similar.
8. Working from within the boiler hopper, locate the unpainted end
of the auger extension pipe over the end of the auger spiral.
9. Looking through the 10mm gap between the boiler and side
pellet store spacer channel, carefully push the end of the auger
extension pipe through the diaphragm seal and into the auger
pipe socket.
10. Ensure it is fully pushed in and then secure in place by tightening
the auger pipe clamp bolt.
