Hopper System 256Service Manual – CS7000
Hopper Dump Door
The Hopper Dump Door on the bottom of
the hopper opens to allow the hopper to be
emptied.
Hopper Dump Door Actuator
The electric Hopper Dump Door Actuator
is pinned to the Hopper Lift Weldment and
Hopper Dump Door and opens and closes
the Hopper Dump Door.
The Spring and Yoke on the rod end of
the Hopper Dump Door Actuator allow the
Hopper Dump Door to move a short distance
toward the closed position when the
Hopper Dump Door is open. This is designed
to prevent machine damage if the machine
is backed away from a dumpster and the
Hopper Dump Door catches on or contacts
the dumpster.
Caution: The Spring is pre-compressed about an inch, so use caution if you ever need to
disassemble the Spring from the Yoke.
Dump Door Extend and Retract Limit Switches
The Dump Door Retract and Dump Door
Extend Limit Switches
are proximity sensors
that sense when the hopper dump door is
open (retracted) and closed (extended).
Note that:
• The Dump Door Extend Limit Switch
senses the Dump Door Actuator Yoke
when the dump door is closed.
• The Dump Door Retract Limit Switch
senses the dump door itself when the
door is open.
