1. Move flow control handle (A) to the open position (towards front clevis).

2. Make sure that hopper control plate opens fully (B); if not, slide the gage

plate (C) forward or backward until control gate is fully open.

4. Move flow control handle (A) to the close position (towards rear of unit).

Verify hopper control gate fully closes (F).

5. Securely tighten the flow control handle (A) to the gage plate (C),

compressing the spring. Flow control handle should have resistance to

movement.

Fan Height Adjustment

NOTE: The four tabs on the fan should be compressed against the

fan driver. If pressure is not applied, the fan connection will be loose

resulting in poor performance.
