2.Fill weight bag with desired amount of sand.

3.Place weight bag on top of auger housing with mount- ing clamp at front edge of auger housing as shown.

4.Insert weight bag between the auger housing and the bar of the mounting clamp as shown and secure with 5/16-18 x 1-1/2 capscrews. Tighten securely.

IMPORTANT: Mount the weight bag in a location which does not cover the warning decals on top of the auger housing.
