Hopper Interlock Switch
The Hopper Interlock Switch is a proximity sensor on
the left front of the machine frame that senses when
the hopper is all the way down in the normal operating
position.
Hopper Prop Rod and Pull Rod
The Hopper Prop Rod is a safety mechanism that must be
engaged when personnel are working underneath the hopper
to prevent the hopper from being lowered. The Hopper Prop
Rod pivots toward the rear of the machine to engage the top
of the Hopper Lift Cylinder and hold the hopper in its raised
position.
CAUTION: Before working underneath the raised
hopper, engage the Hopper Prop Rod as
follows:
1. Raise the hopper all the way up.
2. Pull the Pull Rod to pivot the bottom of the Hopper Prop
Rod toward the Hopper Lift Cylinder until it contacts
the Hopper Lift Cylinder.
3. Lower the hopper until the Hopper Prop Rod contacts
the top of the Hopper Lift Cylinder.
To disengage the Hopper Prop Rod:
1. Raise the hopper all the way up.
2. Push the Pull Rod to pivot the bottom of the Hopper
Prop Rod off of the Hopper Lift Cylinder.
3. Lower the hopper.
