Chapman MF350 Instrucciones página 4

1. Remove tailgate from carrying vehicle.
3. Centralise hopper in bed and attach using 4 supplied ratchet
straps, 2 straps per side. Ratchet straps must be fitted in a
crossing manner as shown below! It is the user's responsibility
to ensure the unit is securely fitted in the bed.
5. Route control module cabling through the chassis so that the control box is within easy reach of the operator when driving the vehicle.
A mounting bracket is supplied for easy fitment, along with plenty of cable to route around obstructions. The unit is designed to be
hard-wired direct to the battery of the vehicle with a dedicated feed. It is recommended that the control unit be hard-wired into the
vehicle to ensure cables do not get snagged and damaged by tools, equipment, dogs etc; should the hopper need to be removed at a
later stage, the plug can be disconnected from the hopper and the control module can remain in the vehicle when not in use.
6. Calibrate the drop size for the feed being used. This should be completed every time different feed is used to ensure accurate feed
rates. Instructions for calibration are included on the following page.

and slide the unit forwards or backwards to the desired value. Tighten

2. Load MF350 into bed using forklift slots or suitable lifting strops
rated to carry plated unladen weight. If fitting for the first time
and the hopper has been shipped 'upside down' then it can be
carefully rolled into the pickup bed by 2 people, as shown below.
Ensure that the control box and cabling do not get trapped or
damaged during this procedure!
4. Fit the cover support bar to prevent the cover sagging as shown
below. Fit tarpaulin cover on top of hopper.
