Slat Installation
1.
Before starting the slat installation:
a.
Remove all the tags on the chain identifying matched pairs.
b.
Double check all the chain splices to verify the cotter pins are in place and fully bent.
2.
After the chain is completely installed with slats spaced approximately every two feet, proceed with
the installation of the remainder of the slats. See Figure 9.
3.
Slide retention levers onto the bosses on each chain mount. The smooth side of the lever faces
outward. (If installed backwards, the lever will not rotate on the boss.) The levers will only slide on
and off the boss when oriented vertically.
4.
Lay a slat into place. The four pins on the slat rest in the two half-round recesses on each chain
mount.
5.
Ensure the proper orientation and position of the shoe. See Figure 9 and note that the flow arrow
must be oriented in the direction of flow.
