Cleasby Conveyors Operating Instructions
Cleasby Conveyors (Rev. 08/14/12) | Page 3-3
Transporting Materials to Roof
1.) The valve controlling the conveyor
belt is a “detent” type that stays in
position once it is set. It also has a
forward and reverse function.
2.) FBR belt-type conveyors have a
control valve at the nose end allowing
the person receiving materials coming
off of the conveyor to stop or start the
belt when necessary (see Figure 3-2).
3.) The valves are set so that moving the
valve handles toward the conveyor
lifting cylinder mounted on the turntable
post, engages the “forward” or “up”
function. The rotation on RTH series
turntables is intended to be in the
direction that you move the control
handle. Test the movement of all
components prior to field use. If the
valve motion and component direction
are inconsistent, make the necessary
corrections to rectify.
Fig. 3-2 Control valve at nose of FBR
conveyor allows receiving person to control
material flow.
4.) The cylinder inside the post on RTH
series turntables permits the post to raise
and lower to provide clearance for truck
cargo among other reasons. It also raises
and lowers the conveyor to a convenient
height above the truck bed when loading
the various materials on the conveyor.
The RTH-6000 raises higher than the
RTH-4000 and so forth.
5.) The speed control permits the
operator to control the amount of fluid
flowing to the various functions. This is
particularly useful in varying the speed
with which the belt moves along the
conveyor.
Observing Live Load Limits
Note and observe weight limits and load
capacities for the conveyor. The
conveyor has a weight limit/load
capacity of one bundle per flight
(vertical paddle) for shingles weighing
up to 90 pounds per bundle; and one
bundle for every other flight for shingles
weighing over 90 pounds per bundle.
Returning Conveyor to
Traveling Position
1.) After unloading, recheck and clear
the
SAFETY ZONE before moving the
conveyor. Raise the conveyor boom high
enough to clear the side of the building
and the edge of the roof, or if possible,
raise the conveyor to a height
approaching maximum angle of rotation
(70 degrees) and then slowly lower the
conveyor into its traveling position over
the truck cab. To avoid damage to the
truck or conveyor boom, do not drop the
conveyor. Secure the boom in place
2.) When the turntable is in its lowest
position, the nose end of the conveyor
may be too high to clear bridges. Thus,
elevate the post to ensure that the
conveyor is positioned parallel with the
bed of the truck, prior to traveling.
3.) Disengage the PTO before moving
the truck.
