3.5 ATTACHING TO TOW VEHICLE
The conveyor may be towed by a truck when
transporting over long distances.
Follow this procedure when attaching to or unhooking
from a tow unit:
WARNING: Electrocution Hazard
Ensure enough clearance from overhead
obstructions, power lines, other equipment.
1. Clear the working area of bystanders, especially
small children.
2. If the conveyor is above a storage facility:
- Raise the conveyor tube so the discharge
spout clears the structure.
- Use the mover kit, to drive the conveyor away.
- Lower the tube to it’s collapsed position.
3. Ensure that there is sufficient room and clearance
to back up to the conveyor.
NOTICE: Upending Hazard
The machine is closely balanced. Do not
lift unless there is downward weight on the
hopper end to prevent upending.
4. The hitch and jack are removable. Install the jack.
5. Raise the hopper end of conveyor high enough
to install the hitch.
Secure hitch with the anchor pin. Place the
retainer before using hitch.
6. Align the tow vehicle’s drawbar with the hitch of
the conveyor while backing up.
7. Set the park brake before dismounting.
8. Use the jack, to raise the hopper and hitch to
the drawbar height. Install the pin with its retainer
clip, to connect the tow vehicle.
9. Secure the safety chain.
Reverse the above procedure when unhooking.
