Loading Material
Load the MH-400 from the top or from the rear.
For most materials, such as sand or gravel, you can use a
front-end bucket loader. For materials such as
landscaping ties or fertilizer bags, load from the rear by
placing the material on the conveyor belt and setting the
hydraulics in the load position.
You may need to remove the rear gate for easier access.
If sacks of material are being used, empty the sacks into
the loader’s bucket before loading the material into the
hopper. To ensure stability, distribute the load evenly,
front to back and side to side.
Unloading Material
W
ARNING
:
Do not stand behind the
MH-400 while unloading.
Bulk Unloading
1. Back the MH-400 into the location where you want
the material deposited.
2. Release the rear gate latches and turn on the
conveyor belt.
3. If desired, raise the rear of the MH-400. This unloads
material at a different angle, and allows quick
unloading of the entire load.
Controlled Unloading
1. Close the rear gate latches.
2. Use the jack handle to open or close the adjustable
section of the rear gate (Figure 15). This restricts the
flow of materials when using an option.
