Transport Preparation1. It is not recommended that the conveyor be transported faster than 20 mph (32 km/h). Table 2 on page 30references the acceptable transport speed as per the ratio of tractor weight versus conveyor weight. SeeSpecifications for conveyor weights.2. Ensure the conveyor will clear any overhead obstructions or electrical wires prior to transporting. Refer toSpecifications for the transport height of your conveyor.3.
