Seed Series 16 & 20 Conveyor
The Seed Series Conveyors are designed to be easily and conveniently moved from
place to place. When transporting, follow this procedure:
1. Review the Transport Safety Schematic before
starting.
2. Be sure all bystanders are clear of the machine.
3. On electric motor drive units, unplug the power cord,
wrap around frame, and secure to prevent dragging.
4. Attach to a towing vehicle using a hitch pin with a
retainer.
5. Remove chocks from the wheels.
6. Lower the conveyor into its fully down position so
that the cross tube rests on the stop plate.
7. Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
8. Never go across slopes of more than 20
o
. It is better
to go straight up or straight down a slope.
9. Make sure the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem
and all the lights and reflectors that are required by
the local highway and transport authorities are in
place, are clean, and can be seen clearly by all
overtaking and oncoming traffic.
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. It is not recommended that the machine be
transported faster than 25 mph (40 km/h).
12. Do not allow riders on the machine or towing vehicle.
13. During periods of limited visibility, use pilot vehicles
or add extra lights to the machine.
14. Always use hazard flashers on the vehicle when
transporting unless prohibited by law.
