(See Figures 2-1, 2-24, 2-25, 2-26, 2-27and 2-28)
The Four Bin Feeder is positioned to discharge aggregate from the gathering conveyor discharge hood onto the top

Item
Procedure
1
Position the four bin feeder according to the site layout leaving it 30 feet from the feed
conveyor.
2
Position the hydraulic power pack and connect the two hoses to the levelling jack valve.
3
Remove the two clips holding the wire rope (rear of the chassis) in the transport position.
4
Remove the four bolts (two at the top, two at the bottom) holding the gathering conveyor in
the transport position.
5
Extend the upper hydraulic cylinders causing the gathering conveyor to swing away from the
chassis.
6
Extend the lower hydraulic cylinders, alternate with the upper cylinders and continue until the
conveyor has been fully extended.
7
Install conveyor locking pins on each side of the feed conveyor to hold it in the operating
position.
8
Position the four bin feeder according to the layout. (Disconnect the hydraulic power pack if
necessary.) The gathering conveyor discharge will be directly over the upper section of the screen deck.
9
Disconnect the transport unit from the four bin feeder.
10
Using a crane, remove the discharge hood from the front of the chassis
and install onto the gathering conveyor.
11
Raise the chassis by extending the hydraulic leveling jacks.
12
Position the five sets of screw jacks into the operating position and install the screw jack pads.
13
Retract the leveling jacks until the screw jacks support the chassis. Use a four foot level to
determine if the unit is level. Adjust the screw jacks as equired until the chassis is level and fully retract the leveling
jacks.
14
Disconnect the hydraulic power pack.
