LOADING AND UNLOADING THE
HOPPER
For a safe and fast hopper load, the best option is using a
screw conveyor. An hydraulic crane can also be used for lift-
ing the BIG BAG and put it on top of the hopper for coupling
it; follow the manufacturer instructions.
IMPORTANT:
BEFORE EMPTYING THE HOP-
PER, MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING REMAINS IN-
SIDE THE HOPPER.
BEFORE FILLING THE HOPPER, MAKE SURE THAT
THE EMPTYING TRAP DOORS ARE CLOSED.
For
FILLING
the hopper:
1-
Pull the lock (1, Fig. 5.13) for releasing the hopper landing,
then move the ladder until it reaches the horizontal posi-
tion.
