13 Mounting Plate
Mount the machine using the tipping base plate. This has 4 holes in the base to take M12 bolts (see below)
use these to attach to the parent vehicle. The base plate can be repositioned to fit the holes in the back of
the machine to attach to a vertical mounting point – use whichever is best for you.
Ensure there is sufficient room to tip the hopper for emptying and ensure any potential trapping
points are noted taking care not to trap hands or fingers.
The tipping base plate is attached to the chassis by 2 bolts and spacers which act as the pivot, and a
removable steel pin secured by an ‘R’ clip
There are 2 positions for the pin – use these to help level the Fan Jet.
The machine must be on level ground or flat surface before tipping the hopper to avoid the
hopper accidently tipping forward once the tipping pin has been removed.
To tip the hopper, remove the pin whilst supporting the hopper, lower gently when emptying the hopper.
Addi onal Base Plates available; Part No. FJ718A
