4-5 Mounting Tips
• Run a bead of silicone sealant around the mounting flange
before seating the hopper loader. This provides an additional
seal.
• Use rivets to mount the hopper loader. Bolts, nuts, and
washers can loosen, fall into, and damage process equipment.
• Check across the mounting flange with a bubble level. Level
installation ensures proper material discharge valve
operation.
• Install controller boxes to a non-moving solid structure to
avoid loosening any wiring from vibration.
• Remove all rubber banding and any other packaging
materials from around the flapper dump valve before
installation for proper operation.
4-6 Attaching the Pickup Wand
Slide the flex hose onto the material inlet and pickup wand. Strip
material away from the ground wire in the hose and secure the bare
wire under the hose so it is in contact with the metal tube. Use the
hose clamps supplied to secure the flex hose.
The pickup wand can be adjusted for maximum performance.
Insert it into the material to be conveyed. Adjust the tube by
loosening the wing nut at the top and sliding the wand assembly to
maintain performance.
The material should flow freely and not surge through the hose.
