The seals around the top of the pellet hopper are important to safe and efficient operation of the unit. The latch
installed on this unit is designed to pull the hopper lid tight against this seal. Over the course of operation as these seals
"wear in" and compress, the tension of the latch should be tested periodically, and adjusted if necessary.
To adjust the lid latch, the following tools will be needed; two ½ inch wrenches, or a ½ inch wrench and a ½ inch
socket.
In order to adjust the latch, first (with the unit unplugged and cooled down) open the hopper lid and then lock the
latch in its closed position. Take the ½ inch wrench and loosen the nut closest to the latch. This nut is then adjusted
closer to the lid itself to tighten the latch. After adjusting this nut to the desired location, hold this nut in place with the
½ inch wrench, the tighten down the holding nut on the end of the latch shaft with the ½ inch socket (or second wrench)
to hold the latching assembly in place.
After tightening the latch, test the latch for proper tension by locking the lid down and lifting each front
corner of the lid. The lid should be firmly held down by the latch. Repeat the same procedure if the latch is still
not tight enough.
Important: Hopper Lid Latch must be checked periodically and kept tight
