OPPER
The low-profile grain hopper is designed to be rolled into position to receive grain
for transfer through the boot to the auger discharge spout. Ground clearance can
be adjusted by raising or lowering the position of the hopper wheel axles (see
“Connect the Intake Hopper to the Swing Tube” on page 83).
The grain hopper must be lifted and secured for transport using the hopper lift
arm, hydraulic winch, and transport chain and hook (see Figure 1.4).The hopper
lift arm can be reconfigured for lifting on either side of the auger.
Do not approach, open or close the maintenance hatch located on the transition
between the swing are tube and the hopper unless all power to the auger is
locked out.
