(Hardware A)
Grasp the upper guide assembly from the sides and
squeeze in and slide it over the inlet guide so the
edges are under the stop washers. Adjust so the
■ holes in the upper guide assembly are aligned with
the holes in the inlet guide. Insert the hex bolt, 8-3/8"
long through the upper guide assembly and the inlet
guide. Secure with flat washer and lock nut.
NOTE: Make certain the upper guide assembly can
pivot by lifting it up until it locks in the raised position.
If it does not pivot freely, loosen the hex lock nut a
turn or two and test.

Your shredder has been shipped with the upper guide
extension attached to the hopper assembly. See figure

assembly as follows. Be certain to place heads of all
■ truss machine screws inside of hopper assembly.
1. Remove one truss machine screw and nut from
each side of hopper assembly as shown in figure

part of hopper as you place hopper assembly
(both pieces) inside upper guide assembly.
Replace truss screws and nuts just removed, using
the front upper hole in assembly as shown in figure
4, one on each side. Tighten finger tight only.
NOTE: You may have to squeeze in the sides of the
hopper to start the screws. If you have difficulty align­
ing the holes, loosen the two screws on the upper end
of the hopper assembly.

found in hardware pack in the remaining holes of
hopper assembly, alternating sides of the unit and
tightening finger tight only.
