3.12. INSTALL THE HOPPER LIFT ARM AND WINCH
1. Determine which side of the auger the hopper will be operating on.

Note: Feed side of hopper must face the main auger when in transport.
2. Position the hopper lift arm assembly on the mount bracket on top of the
lower auger tube with the arm overhanging the side of the auger that the
hopper will be operating on.
3. Fasten hopper lift arm assembly to the mount bracket with four 7/16” x 1-1/4”
bolts (18698) and 7/16” locknuts (17593) (Figure 3.33).
4. Install winch and winch bracket assembly to auger boot (opposite to side of
hopper operation) with one mount pin and a hairpin (Figure 3.34).
5. Thread the cable through the hopper lift arm and pull the cable to the winch.
6. Wrap the cable over and around the winch spool at least three times, then
insert the cable end through the hole provided in the side of the spool and
secure the end with the provided cable clamp (Figure 3.35).
7. To place hopper into transport position, attach cable hook to hook on the
hopper transition, then fully raise hopper with intake side facing main auger.
Secure hopper to lift arm by connecting the safety chain (Figure 3.36) to the
hopper cable attach bracket.
