1. Confirm that the valve at the bottom of the hopper is closed.
2. Remove the lid from the hopper. To avoid injury, removal as well as any other substantial manipulation
of the lid should be done with two people.
3. Using a forklift, lift the 2,200 or 4,400-pound bulk bag of garnet abrasive over the top of the hopper.
Carefully follow FIBC Bulk Bag Handling Guidelines in handling the bulk bag. The following link provides
detailed information regarding the safe handling of bulk bags, http://fibca.com/.
4. Untie the outer duffle on the bottom of the bulk bag, and pull the release cord on the spout to empty
the entire contents of the bulk bag in the hopper. Stand to the side of the bulk bag and be careful to
avoid falling material released from the bag.
5. Place the lid back on top of the hopper (the lid should be lifted by two people to avoid injury).
Placing the hopper on the stand:
1. Place the forks of the forklift inside both fork pockets on the bottom of the hopper. The forks should
extend to, or near, the end of the fork pockets.
2. Lift the hopper slowly until the hopper is slightly higher than the top of the stand (approximately 60”).
3. Center the hopper over the top of the stand ensuring the hopper is placed evenly between the outer lip
of the sides of the stand. The hopper should be placed all the way to the back stop of the stand.
4. Ensure the hopper is level before lowering the hopper onto the stand.
5. Lower the hopper slowly onto the stand.
6. Ensure the hopper is placed correctly on the stand before backing away from the hopper.
7. Connect the hopper to the stand by installing the two 5/8” x 8.5” hitch pins through the slots in each
side of the stand, making sure that the pin goes completely through the fork pocket.
8. Install the lynch pins in the hole at the end of each 5/8” x 8.5” hitch pins.
