An access hole must be cut for the stiffener in bottom of the transition housing. Cut a 9" x 6" hole in the
bottom center of the transition before attaching the transition to the bin. Attach transition to sidewall sheet
as shown in
Figure 9E . Field drill 3/8" stiffener holes through transition entrance collar. A hole must now
be cut in the top center of the transition. Mark a 9" wide x 6" opening for the stiffener to enter. Cut along
the line. Bottom edge of entrance collar will also need to be trimmed to provide clear access for stiffener.
Place stiffener through transition housing and attach to sidewall. Be sure stiffener anchor is located on

and use the self-drilling screws to fasten cover plate to transition. Repeat this procedure on the inside
bottom of the transition housing. The cover plates will need to be trimmed to fit properly on the bottom.
Caulk and seal everything well when plates have been secured.
