Pintle Hitch
5. Equipment Attachment:
Each customer must provide a means of sup-
plying a steady îow of potatoes to the Conveyor.
Normally this is done by using another piece of
equipment such as a grader, another conveyor or
stingers. When the conveyor is used as a compo-
nent in a conveying system, it is recommended
that it be securely attached to the adjacent piece
of equipment. An optional over center clamp is
available on one end to attach to another Mayo
machine. Adjust the hook bolt to obtain the re-
quired position. If connecting to equipment made
by other manufacturers, connect securely using a
chain, straps or other means.
Disconnect the hitch and move the other equip-
ment before repositioning or moving the Conveyor.
By securely attaching to the Bin Piler or other ad-
jacent equipment, the adjacent equipment can
move and the conveyor will move along with it
without having to stop and reposition. Unlock the
rear steering wheels and place chocks around
the front wheels when the conveyor is positioned.
Set the height of the equipment for minimal drop
height to minimize bruising.
