When installed, the mounting pins (C) point towards the
center of the hopper and the latch bar assemblies (D) are on
the outside of the hopper.

1. To install the left hand side mount tube and latch bar
assembly (A) into the left hand support plate, install a .52"
ID X 1.00" OD X .25" tall spacer (E) onto the mount pin
and place it into the left hand support plate. The mounting
pin with spacer goes into the mounting hole of the support
plate, the pivoting rod (F) goes into the dumping slot (G),
and the latch bar assembly is positioned so that it points
toward the gate of the hopper. The left hand side mount
tube and latch bar assembly should be pivoted so that it
rests against the rubber bumper in the resting pocket (H).
The latch bar assembly will hold the mount tube and latch
bar assembly in place.
2. Install a 1/2" washer (I) and a 1/8 X 3/4 cotter pin (J)
into the hole in the mounting pin to secure the left hand
side mount tube and latch bar assembly to the left hand
support plate.
3. To install the right hand side mount tube and latch bar
assembly (B) into the right hand support plate, install
a .52" ID X 1.00" OD X .25" tall spacer (E) onto the
mount pin and place it into the right hand support plate.
The mounting pin with spacer goes into the mounting
hole of the support plate, the pivoting rod (F) goes into
the dumping slot (G), and the latch bar assembly is
positioned so that it points toward the gate of the hopper.
The right hand side mount tube and latch bar assembly
should be pivoted so that it rests against the rubber
bumper in the resting pocket (H). The latch bar assembly
will hold the mount tube and latch bar assembly in place.
4. Install a 1/2" washer (I) and a 1/8 X 3/4 cotter pin (J)
into the hole in the mounting pin to secure the right hand
side mount tube and latch bar assembly to the right hand
support plate.
Install the Latch Bar Assembly
Tensioning Spring
The length of the latch bar assembly tensioning spring (A,
Figure 28) determines how much force is necessary to
operate the hopper dump handle. If the amount of force is
not comfortable for the operator the length of the position
of the spring can be adjusted. The longer the spring is, the
more force is required to operate the hopper dump handle.
The shorter the spring is, the less force is required to operate
the hopper dump handle; however, the spring length should
never be adjusted so short that driving over uneven or bumpy
terrain can free the latch.

1. Install the latch bar assembly tensioning spring to the
right support plate (B) by routing a 3/8 X 2-1/4" bolt
(C), and a 3/8 SAE washer (D) through the latch bar
tensioning spring (A), a 3/8 serrated flange nut (E), the
slot in the right hand side support plate and loosely
installing a 3/8 serrated flange nut (E).
2. Pull the hardware mounting the spring to the right hand
support plate towards the back of the slot until the coil-to-
coil length of the spring measures 2-5/8" ± 1/4" (6.7 cm
± .64 cm). Once the measurement is achieved, tighten
the 3/8 serrated flange nuts to lock the spring in place.
Install the Dump Handle Assembly
1. Route a 5/16-18 X 1" bolt (A, Figure 29) through a .34" ID
X 1.25" OD washer (B), a .328" ID X .497" OD X .218 tall
spacer (C), the slot in the dump handle assembly (D), a
second .34" ID X 1.25" OD washer (B), the mounting hole
in the hopper assembly, and then secure with a 5/16-18
hex nylock flange nut (E).
