b. Locate and inspect belt lacing’s for damage or excessive wear.
c. Grease belt head and tail pulley bearing zerks (8 places). Do not
over grease. Bearings should
appear slightly greasy but
not excessive.
d. Belt tension is visually
determined by the droop or
sag in the belt as observed
from the right and left hand
side of the machine. From the bottom of the Conveyor frame,
the (return) belt should sag from 1/2” to 1”. DO NOT OVER
TENSION BELTS.
e. Inspect the front
hopper grizzles for
debris. Make sure
there is no debris
build up under Ultra
Sonic Sensors.
f. Inspect and clean
the underside or face
of the Ultra Sonic Sensors (just wipe dust off with hand or rag).
g. Inspect and clean the Proximity Switches or “Diaphragm
Switches” in the front hoppers that control the augers.
5. Start Engine.
a. With engine warmed up, check oil pressure and wait for air
pressure to build up to 120 psi.
6. Check Hydraulic Functions.
a. If the pressure compensated pump dump valve has not engaged
at this point, it will after 10 minutes from engine start or when
you activate any hydraulic function. The pressure compensated
pump has a distinct “whine” or “hum” which you will recognize
with more experience.
b. Turn Belts to “Auto” and check operation. If sitting on level
ground, the belts should be running in the “reasonable” center
of the rear tail pulley. Parked on a slope, it is normal for the
belts to drift to the downhill side. If an adjustment is required,
it must be done on level ground. DO NOT ADJUST BELTS WITH
ENGINE RUNNING! Make half turn adjustments to each side
