Setup Procedure
1. Position the Tilt Infeed Conveyor in front of
the binder such that height-adjustable por-
tion of the conveyor is centered on the exit
chute of the binder.
Figure 2-5. Tilt Infeed Conveyor
2. The top of the conveyor belt at the right end
of the tilt infeed conveyor should be set to
about 13-7/8" (35.2 cm) from the floor and
level (Figure 2-6). Adjust the leveling pads
as necessary.

3. The height-adjustable portion should be set
to the height of (or slightly below) the bottom
of the binder's exit chute. After adjusting the
legs, lock into place with jam nuts.

4. Move the entire conveyor close to the binder
to minimize the distance between the adjust-
able conveyor and the binder's exit chute.
5. Wheel the elevator into approximate position
next to the tilt infeed conveyor.
