Attaching Hopper To Unit Safety Precautions:

Before lifting hopper, check to ensure that adequate
clearance will be maintained between the lifting ma-
chine and overhead electrical lines. you must maintain
at least 10 feet of clearance.
Ensure that the hopper is well secured and rigged
before starting any lifting operation.
Ensure that the area around the hopper is clear of

Never let anyone go under the hopper while it is
suspended.
Ensure that hands and feet are kept clear of the hopper
and potential pinch points on front of the Chipspreader
during installation.

Attaching Hopper to Unit

1. By hooking a lifting sling into the rear lifting eye,
the hopper can be tilted forward while being raised,
allowing the hopper carrying shafts to engage the hop-
per carrying arms on the Chipspreader. (Figure 1 & 2)
Lower the hopper slowly until the lifting sling can be
disconnected.
2. Attach the lifting device to the front lifting attach-
ment and raise the hopper to vertical position.
3. Install hopper pins, in front of latch arms, through
pin catch.
4. Always install latch pin lock pins and snap down
rings properly prior to releasing the lifting device. Figure 2. Rear Of Hopper
