While workers hold the discharge con-
veyor in position, carefully lift the bypass
conveyor. Remove the bypass conveyor’s
threaded rod from its tube (Figure 7-43).
There is one on each side.
Lower the bypass conveyor.
Carefully place one of the support posts
under each end of the discharge conveyor
to keep it in the raised position.
Make sure each post is securely positioned
and the discharge conveyor is stable.
Open the right endframe door and locate
the bypass conveyors drive chain (Figure
7-44).
Remove the drive chain.
Move underneath the discharge conveyor
and pull the rear bypass ribbons around
their tracks until all the lacing clips are
accessible and aligned at the drive roll.
Remove the connecting pins from all the
ribbons and move them away from the
drive roll. It is not necessary to remove
them from the machine.
Remove the old tape from the drive roll.
Mark the center position of each tape with
a permanent marker so new tapes can be
properly positioned.
Scrape off any old cement which remains
on the roll using a scraper, coarse sand-
paper or a wire brush. Wipe away any
remaining residue with a clean cloth.
