SETUP AND ASSEMBLY
for a good contact and alignment of the side hopper
panels with the front and rear panels. If a gap is
found, apply a small amount of silicon sealer along
the joint (on the inside of the hopper) to fully seal the
hopper.
INSTALLATION OF SPINNER SHIELD
(See Figure 6)
Step 16.
Install the spinner shield to the 1530 frame.
Use 1/4” x 5/8” hex head Whiz-Lock screws and
nuts (Quantity 4). Tighten securely.
Step 11.
Attach the metering gate to the rear of the
hopper. Use 3/8” x 3/4” long hex head screws, lock
washers and nuts. Insert the screws from the inside
of the hopper and the nuts on the outside of the
mounting brackets. Tighten screws securely.
Step 12.
Tighten the 3/4” nylock nuts on the metering
gate. Leave nuts loose enough to allow movement
of the gate, but tight enough to keep metering gate
in position during operation.
NOTE: The metering
gate should not touch the rear hopper panel when
opened and closed.
Step 13.
Check the alignment of the hopper to the 1530
frame. The metering gate should be level with the
surface of the conveyor belt (metering gate does
not fully close to the surface of the conveyor belt).
If the hopper is in alignment with the frame and the
metering gate, securely tighten all of the screws
holding the hopper to the frame.
Step 14.
After tightening the screws holding the hopper
to the frame, re–check the operation of the metering
gate. If the gate operates properly, tighten all of the
hardware holding the hopper panels together.
Step 15.
Check all of the lower outside corners of the
hopper assembly where it meets the frame. Check
