LOWERING THE HOPPER MANUALLY
1. Remove the hopper safety arm from between
the frame of the machine and the hopper and
place the safety arm into the storage clips.
2. Slowly turn the hopper pump needle valve
knob fully counterclockwise and allow the
hopper to completely lower down to the frame
of the machine.
NOTE: Several personnel may be necessary to
push the hopper over the center point so the
weight of the hopper lowers the hopper.
WARNING: Lift arm pinch point. Stay
clear of hopper lift arms.
NOTE: Keep personnel clear of the area around
the hopper before manually lowering the hopper.
3. Turn the hopper pump needle valve knob fully
clockwise to close the needle valve.
NOTE: The power hopper tilt system will not
operate if the hopper pump needle valve knob is
left open.
