6.3. Operation - Electric Motor Models
Æ
When equipped with an Electric Motor:
1. Turn the electric motor on.
2. Run until the conveyor is empty.
3. Turn off motor and lock out power source.
4. Unplug the power cord, wrap around the equipment and secure to prevent dragging, especially when
transporting or placing the conveyor.
6.4. Operation - Gas Engine Models
Æ
When Equipped with a Gas Engine:
1. If the drive belts are tight, disengage the belts.
2. Start the gas engine. Follow instructions provided with the gas engine for specific starting instructions.
Note
For conveyor with gas engine that is equipped with a primer (squeezable) bulb:
Before starting the
engine, if the conveyor is not used for long time or, for a newly purchased conveyor with a gas
engine, pump the fuel using the primer bulb before starting the engine until pumping become
difficult (roughly 5–10 pumps).
If the conveyor is being used on a regular basis, then pumping is not necessary. Only pump if the
machine fails to start.
3. Engage belt drive lever (when equipped).
Note
The drive belt should be just tight enough to not slip on the drive pulley. If the belt is too loose, it
will slip, lowering power transfer from the engine and possibly causing a squealing sound. If the belt
is too tight, it will cause excess wear.
4. Adjust gas engine to provide maximum engine RPM.
5. Run until all grain has been emptied from the equipment.
6. Reduce engine speed to low idle.
7. Shut off engine and lock out power source.
8. Shut off fuel supply.
6.5. Loading Area
To achieve maximum capacity, feed material on the belt:
• until the material tube clearance is 1/2”.
• in the same direction as the belt travels.
Do not:
• unload material into the transition area.
