The dryer is available with an optional transport kit for transporting the unit by truck or tractor. Make certain
to observe the following safety precautions.
1. Recommended towing hitch height is 14"-17''.

2. Hitch bolt must be at least 3/4" in diameter and securely fastened with a locking nut, so it will not
come out during travel and the hitch will not bend.
3. Be sure to minimize vertical hitch play with washers.
