The Power of Clean
HOPPER
NOTE: It is not usually necessary to remove the
hopper on high dump models. However,
if it becomes necessary for maintenance
or to install an option, use the following
procedure to remove:
Hopper Removal
1. Park the machine on a level surface and engage
the parking brake.
2. Raise the hopper and position the high dump
hopper dolly, a platform truck or similar four
wheeled cart under the hopper.
3. Set the hopper down on the truck and turn the
engine off .
4. Cycle the rotation control handle (#2) in both
positions to relieve any residual hydraulic
pressure.
5. Remove three bolts, washers, nuts and backing
plate.
6. Disconnect the wire harness connections at the
right side of the hopper.
7. While spreading the dump arms slightly, roll the
hopper away from the machine.
Hopper Replacement
1. Position the hopper on the dolly so as to align
the mounting holes in the sides of the hopper
with the rotation mounts on the arms. Lift arms
should be positioned about ⅓ of the way up.
2. Engage the lift arm rotation plates with the
mounting bolts on each side of the hopper.
3. Start the machine and lift the hopper.
4. Drive away from the hopper dolly or cart.
5. Lower the hopper.
6. Engage the wire connections at the right side of
the hopper.
