6.13 Rear Feedout Elevator (Where Fitted)
An elevator system requires regular maintenance in order to achieve optimum
performance. Every week the elevator needs to be checked to make sure that
the belt is running straight and not wearing unevenly on one side. If the belt is
not running straight then adjust the tension by adjusting the tensioner nut on
the side and run again to check.
The elevator surface needs to be kept clean at all times in order to avoid feed
building up and falling into the rollers during operation. Do not allow old feed to
build up on the sides of the belt.
Each week ensure that the bearings are greased as per figure 42 below. Ensure
that the elevator is free moving in each direction and there is no feed caught
in the slideways. Replace belts and side rubbers when they become worn
otherwise elevator will not function properly. Refer to the Rear Feedout Operator
Manual Supplement for spare parts, maintenance and operation.
