2. Make sure water can drain from the conveyor tube and intake, then wash the tube with a water hose or
pressure washer until all dirt, mud, debris, or residue is gone.
Important
Do not contact electronic controls with high pressure washer.
3. Provide sufficient time for the water to drain from the conveyor.
7.18. Repack the Wheel Bearings with Grease
1. Block wheels and ensure unit is stable.
2. Remove the wheel bolts and the wheels.
3. Clean wheel and hub mounting surfaces to ensure there is no rust or debris.
4. Remove the wheel bearing and pack with grease. Use SAE multi-purpose high-temperature grease with
extreme pressure (EP) performance. SAE multi-purpose lithium-based grease is also acceptable.
5. Tighten the wheel bolts (diagonal pattern) with a torque wrench to 100 ft-lb (±10 ft-lb) of torque. Inspect to
make sure the wheel is sitting flush with the hub.

7.19. Check/Adjust the Truss Cables
Æ
When equipped with Truss Cables:
Check the Truss Cables:
Check tube for straightness, no slack in the cables, and a just noticeable upward deflection of the discharge end.
During operation, it is normal that for the tube to deflect downward.
If required, adjust cables by following the procedure below:
1. Lift the discharge end of the conveyor with a overhead crane, front end loader, or other proper lifting device
so that the tube has a slight upward deflection at the discharge to give the cable some slack.
The lifting device must be capable of supporting approximately half of the weight of the
conveyor as provided in the Specifications section.

2. When the conveyor has more than one set of cables start from the innermost cables and work your way
out.
