Rear ByPass Ribbons
This procedure involves lowering the rear
bypass conveyor while keeping the discharge
conveyor raised using sturdy wooden posts.
It will require several workers to handle the
conveyors and position and posts. It is important
that the posts be securely placed for worker
safety.
NOTE: This procedure is best
performed by several workers.
The “buddy system” is the safest
system.
Additional Tools

Perform only when the unit is OFF

available to replace the old material. One
roll of tracking tape is required.
Turn power OFF at the main disconnect
switch.
Follow the Discharge/ByPass Conveyors
Ribbons Tension Adjustment procedure
