Chain Installation
Run power to the main drive motor and verify the motor rotation direction before
installing the chain. Running the sorter backwards can cause damage to slats, chain, and
sorter internal components.
The “m
issing bearing
”
fork sensor on the first divert section is easy to damage when
installing the chain. This sensor is shipped separately for this reason; recommend
installing the sensor only after completing the chain installation.
1.
The chain comes pre-assembled with chain mounts.
2.
The chain is shipped and tagged in matched pairs (right and left)
a.

3.
Always keep the matched pairs across from each other. Keep the tags on the chain until it is installed
in the sorter.
4.
Lay out a matched pair of chain and hold it together with one slat approximately every two feet,
starting at the drive sprocket and working backwards.
