2.3 OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION
This model can be reconfigured so the axle is under the
engine and the discharge is right above the hitch. This
configuration is convenient for:
●
Lightening the weight over the hitch or
●
Directing discharged materials into a truck bed using
the optional Elevated Discharge Tube Kit.
Follow these steps to reconfigure the CH4420:
1. Disconnect the axle brackets from trailer by removing
the two bolts running through the trailer. Remove the
two bolts that hold left hand trailer light bracket to the
trailer.
2. Disconnect the hitch from the trailer.
3. Remove the bolts connecting the right hand trailer
light bracket to the trailer.
4. Hoist the trailer up and turn it 180 degrees.
5. Locate the holes on the sides of the trailer closest to
the engine. Align these holes with the top holes on
the axle support brackets located on the axle. Attach
with one 3/8 x 1" bolt and one 3/8 x 1-1/4" bolt on
each side.
6. Reattach the hitch and light brackets to the trailer.
7. Test the blinker and brake lights to ensure the wiring
is properly connected.
