SKIRTS AND SEALS
HOPPER LIP SKIRTS
The hopper lip skirts are located on the bottom rear
of the hopper. Their purpose is to float over debris
and help deflect that debris into the hopper. The
hopper lip skirts are made up of five bottom lip
segments.
The hopper lip skirts should be inspected for wear or
damage daily.
TO REPLACE HOPPER LIP
1. Empty the machine debris hopper.
2. Stop the machine on a level surface and
engage the machine parking brake.
3. Raise the hopper, engage the hopper support
bar, and lower the hopper onto the hopper
support bar.
WARNING: Always engage the hopper
support bar before working under a raised
hopper. Do not rely on the machine hydraulic
system to keep the hopper in the “raised”
position. The hydraulic system may leak
internally, allowing the hopper to lower, crushing
anything under it.
4. Stop the engine.
WARNING: Always stop the machine on a level
surface, stop the engine, and engage the
parking brake before working on the machine
to keep it from rolling.
5. Remove the hopper lip retaining strip mounting
bolts.
