Floor Clearance and Dump Angle Adjustment
NOTE: In order to perform properly, the hopper must
maintain a distance of 3½” (8.89 cm) from the
floor to the rear hopper entrance lip. The front
of the hopper should be adjusted so that the
front bumper aligns with the hopper frame
where the two meet. When properly adjusted,
the front edge of the hopper will be 5” (12.7
cm) to 6” (15.24 cm) from the floor.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, shut off
the engine and engage the parking brake.
WARNING
Do not rely upon the hydraulic cylinders to keep
the hopper raised for maintenance. Always
engage the safety arm before servicing the
hopper.
2. Adjust the lift arm stop bolts located on top of
the wheel wells as low as possible while still
allowing the side broom assembly to clear the
lift arms when the hopper is in the NORMAL
position. Be sure that both lift arms contact
the stop bolts at the same time.
NOTE: This may involve raising and lowering
the hopper several times.
3. After adjustment, with the hopper down,
use the two adjustable stops located on the
rotation plates on both sides of the hopper to
establish 3½” (8.89 cm) clearance between
the rear hopper entrance lip and the floor.
