# Hopper Guard Installation

## A quick and easy addition to your hopper that will keep cards and weight in place.

Something that we are excited to introduce to the PhyzBatch-9000 is Hopper Guards. These are 3D printed pieces that go along the edges of your hopper to provide more stability to the cards and weight as they go down the hopper. This is a very easy install. 

- When you receive the hopper guards, they will look like this:

![hopper guards](https://support.tcgmachines.com/hs-fs/hubfs/hopper%20guards.jpg?width=228&height=303&name=hopper%20guards.jpg)

- The hopper guards then slide right on to the sides of the hopper.

- To lock them in place (after loading cards and weight) slide the guards towards the middle of the hopper until they lock.
