CONVEYOR
IN
STORAGE
:
1. Lower the conveyor to its lowest position for storage.
2. Select an area that is dry, level, and free of debris.
3. Remove all residual material from the conveyor.
4. Stop machine so that the belt lacing is inside the tube. This protects the
lacing from weathering.
5. Wash the entire machine thoroughly using a water hose or pressure washer
to remove all dirt, mud, debris, or residue.
6. Inspect all hydraulic hoses (if equipped), fittings, lines, couplers, and valves.
Tighten any loose fittings. Replace any fitting or hose if damaged.
7. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent rusting.
8. If machine is not equipped with belt weather guards, position it in such a way
as to limit wind exposure to the belt.
9. Place a block under the jack to ensure it will not freeze to the ground in the
winter.
To prepare the conveyor for use after storage, perform general maintenance.
See Section 8.3. for further details.
