AGI LP Hopper Transport Kit - MK100-36 Owner's manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the Assembly Instructions for the WESTFIELD LP A229 Transport Kit. This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to assemble the bolt-on hopper lift arm for MK100-36 Augers, including how to position the mounts, attach the bands, and secure the hopper for transport. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about the assembly process or the features of the kit.
  • What is the recommended distance between the top of the two liftarm mounts?
    What size bolts are used to attach the clamp-on half-bands?
    Which direction should the intake feed side of the hopper face during transport?
1. Place clamp-on liftarm mount onto upper tube, as shown in Figure 1. The top of the two liftarm mounts (upper
and lower) should measure approximately 27” from each other.
2. Attach the two clamp-on half-bands using two 7/16” x 1-1/4” bolts and locknuts (see Figure 1). When
satisfied with placement, tighten bolts securely.
3. Install hopper liftarm as you would normally, complete with MK100-36 hopper lock (see Figure 2).
NOTE: Intake feed side of hopper must face away from main auger when in transport.
4. To place hopper into transport, attach cable hook to the handle on the side of the hopper, then fully raise
hopper with intake side facing away from the main auger as shown. Secure hopper lift arm with the
hopper lock and the saddle pins and hairpins provided (see Figure 2).
NOTE: To change side of intake feed hopper operation raise auger hitch with jack and disconnect tractor. Swing
intake feed hopper to opposite side of auger. Reverse the position of the hopper lift arm assembly and
move the winch to the other side of the boot (opposite intake feed hopper, see Figure 2). Reconnect to
tractor.
