provided to move the conveyor in and out of transport.
3. Remove pin from rear locking arm,
swing out handle, and release
conveyor.
4. Maneuver conveyor, using tilt cylinder first to lift conveyor out of the front
saddle.

ing or emptying the Aircart is optimal. Unlatch and unfold the conveyor hopper.
