Hopper Dump Door
The Hopper Dump Door on the bottom of
the hopper opens to allow the hopper to be
emptied.
Hopper Dump Door Actuator
The electric Hopper Dump Door Actuator
is pinned to the Hopper Lift Weldment and
Hopper Dump Door and opens and closes the
Hopper Dump Door.
The Spring and Yoke on the rod end of the
Hopper Dump Door Actuator allow the Hopper
Dump Door to move a short distance toward
the closed position when the Hopper Dump
Door is open. This is designed to prevent
machine damage if the machine is backed away
from a dumpster and the Hopper Dump Door
catches on or contacts the dumpster.
CAUTION: The Spring is pre-compressed about an inch, so use caution if you ever need to
disassemble the Spring from the Yoke.
Dump Door Limit Switch
The Dump Door Limit Switch is a proximity sensor that
sense when the hopper dump door is closed. As the dump
door closes, the bracket between the actuator and the door
moves closer to the sensor to trigger the sensor. To increase
the sensitivity of this position, the bracket is notched so
that only the ag portion of the bracket gets close enough to
trigger the sensor.
