INSTALLING TANKS & STRAPS
INSTALLING TANKS & STRAPS
1. Use the stainless steel 3/8"
fl
anged cap screws
and 3/8" locknuts to install the tank trays to the
tank bracket.
2. Insert a 3/8" x 1" carriage bolt into the tank tray so
that the button head is facing the tank.
3. Place the tank on the tank tray. Verify that the
recess in the bottom of the tank is seated into the
tray.
4. Use the 3/8" x 1" carriage bolt and 3/8" hardware
to install the tank support strap.
5. Loop the 3/8" x 8" J-bolt through the tank support
strap and insert it through the knockout hole in the
hopper body. Loop the J-bolt so that the hook is
facing upward.

6. For the J-bolt, place one 2" fender washer and
locknut on the inside of the hopper with the
locknut facing toward the auger. Tighten the nut
toward the hopper body.
NOTE: Do not use power tools to tighten the
J-bolts; use hand tools only. Overtightening can
cause galling of the stainless steel threads.
7. Cut the excess bolt length from the J-bolt if
desired.
8. Repeat Steps 1–7 for the remaining tank.
NOTE: If installing the 100-gallon expansion kit,
install the brackets and tanks in the same fashion.
