    With hopper still at approximately a 20° angle, make sure that the center arrow on the hopper (A) aligns to the center arrow on the machine (B). Move hopper, as necessary, to align the arrows.



  7. Push the hopper forward, causing it to fall into the pivot (C) on the support arms. Check again to be sure that arrows align.

    • If arrows do not align, remove the hopper and rotate the support arms, if necessary, to align the arrows and maintaining the 395 mm (15-35/64 in.) dimension (D). Tighten the support arm hardware (E) to specification. Install hopper back onto top of support arms at an approximate 20° angle, push hopper forward into the pivot on support arms, and make sure arrows align. Repeat adjustment procedure, if necessary.

  8. Close hopper assembly.

  9. Open and close hopper to check movement. Verify that hopper cannot be removed from machine when it is in the open position. Adjust as necessary.

  10. Verify that PTO operates with hopper installed and does not operate with the hopper off. With hopper off, hopper fill dash light must illuminate.
