the bracket slightly past where the manger starts as shown in Detail A. Repeat for the mounting bracket on the

Place the top mounting bracket in place with the bottom edge of the bracket approximately 3" from the top of
the feeder. The short leg of the bracket should be the same distance from the back of the feeder as the brackets
installed in the previous step. Make a mark in the center of each slot and drill a 5/16" hole at each mark. Attach
the bracket with two 5/16" x 1" carriage bolts, large washers and 5/16" nuts (included). Repeat for the top
mounting bracket on the opposite side.
