Hopper Side Flares Won't Raise / Lock
Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Hydraulic Hopper Wing Flare Locking Pin Solenoid Short to Ground.
ACTION: Inspect locking pin cylinder solenoid valve wiring on rear hopper frame. Measure coil resistance (~24Ω); trace harness for rock crushing pinch damage.
Red Seal field insights
Feed Box Rigging: Grounded solenoid disables hydraulic locking pins, preventing the operator from locking hopper flares into production mode from ground control.
