Remove Old Hopper

Refer to Figure 2
Before beginning, raise machine up in air at a sufficient angle so springs are relaxed with no tension remaining on the parallel arms. Support with stands.
Crushing Hazard:
Do not work around heavy equipment without support stands appropriate to the amount of weight they must bear.
1. Remove clamp at base of hose on the old hop­per. This releases the hopper and all parts above
2
hose as one unit. Discard all parts, they will not be reused.
2. Disconnect the air inlet hose from the seed meter by removing its clamp (see photo below). Save the clamp for later assembly.
3. If a blockage monitor is present, disconnect the wire leading to it by removing the zip tie holding it in place. (Do this at the same time as disconnecting the other hoses.)
4. Remove hex nut and 65⁄8inch bolt , also remove hex nut , washer and 4 inch bolt . This releases the hopper support weldment and RH and LH hopper braces and from the opener arm.
