3. OPERATION
3.5C Removing Finished Material
After each load is placed into the hop-
per, check the finished and tailing piles.
Allow adequate area to retrieve finished
material from under the hopper and shaker
deck area (fig. S0004).
For best efficiency, allow at least a full
bucket of material to accumulate before
retrieving.
Do not allow the product to pile up
around the shaker deck area (fig. S0005).
This will impede the shaker action and
could result in serious damage to the shaker
deck assembly.
Retrieve finished material from under
the high hopper side area (fig. S0006).
Drive into the material with the bucket low.
Use the screener as a back stop, curling the
bucket before you contact the deflector
plate (fig. S0006).
Do not raise the bucket excessively as
to contact the shaker deck assembly (fig.
S0009). Serious damage may occur.
Allowing excessive material to pile up
under the shaker deck may cause serious
damage to the machine.
