8.10 Rear feed-out elevator (where fitted)
An elevator system requires regular maintenance in order to achieve optimal 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, adjust the tension by
adjusting the tensioner nut on the side, and run it again to check.
The elevator surface should be kept clean at all times to keep feed from 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 17 below). Ensure that the
elevator is free-moving in each direction and that there is no feed caught in the slideways.
Replace belts and side rubbers when they become worn; otherwise, the elevator will not
function properly. Refer to the Rear Feed-Out Operator Manual Supplement for spare parts,
maintenance and operation.
