Convey-All™ Self-Propelled Conveyors are designed
to be conveniently moved from place to place.
When transporting the unit, follow this procedure:
1. Refer to Section 3.7: Attaching to Tow Vehicle.
2. Ensure the conveyor unit is ready for transport:
- It is in its fully collapsed position.
- The swing-out conveyor is stowed securely.
- Hydraulic lines are closed.
- Hitch is attached using anchor pin, retainer
and safety chain.
3. Be sure all bystanders are clear of the machine.
4. Raise the jack. Remove and store it.
5. If equipped with transport lights, connect the
wiring harness across the hitch.
-
Secure with clips, zip ties or tape. Provide
slack for turning.
6. Remove chocks from around conveyor wheels.
7. Ensure the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem,
all lights and reflectors; required by local highway
and transport authorities, are in place.
They must be clean and clearly visible by all
overtaking and oncoming traffic.
8. Do not allow riders on the conveyor.
9. Slowly pull away from the working area. Be sure
everything is connected and nothing is hanging.
10. Keep to the right and yield the right-of-way to
allow faster traffic to pass. Drive on the road
shoulder, if permitted by law.
11. Never travel across slopes of more than 20°. It is
better to go straight up and down.
12. It is not recommended that the machine be
transported faster than 80km/h (50mph).
13. During periods of limited visibility, use pilot
vehicles or add extra lights to the machine.
