Cleaning up the Hopper (Standard Units)
NOTE: Packer must be fully extended before applying the following procedure (see Preparing the
Hopper for Clean-Up on page 24).
Once the hopper has been prepared for clean-up:
1. Open the clean-out traps on each side of the hopper (see Figure 3-3).

3. Pull out the floating panel to gain access to the area behind the packer (see Figure 3-5). To do so:
3 a. Pull the spring-loaded latch to the right.
3 b. Turn the latch handle a quarter of a turn counter-clockwise so that the latch will not spring
back to its original position.
