Operator’s Manual: Transfer Conveyor
3.3 MACHINE BREAK-IN
There is no operational restrictions on the
conveyor when used for the first time.
The conveyor belt alignment is set at the factory,
to track correctly without carrying a load.
Before Starting Work:
1. Read conveyor and engine operator manuals.
2. Run the unit for half an hour to seat the
conveyor belt and hopper flashing. It is
normal for rubber from the flashing to be
expelled out the discharge and form a
pattern on the belt.
After Operating or Transporting for 1/2 hour:
3. Re-torque all the wheel bolts.
4. Check fuel and engine oil levels.
5. During the conveyors first few minutes of
operation, check belt tension and alignment
to ensure the factory preset does not vary
under loaded conditions.
6. Check the flashing seal on the hopper. If any
product comes out of the hopper around
the flashing; stop the belt, loosen flashing
mounting screws and adjust. Retighten
anchor screws and try again. Repeat until
no product is lost.
7. Check the condition of all hydraulic lines,
hoses and connections. Repair or replace
any damaged system components.
8. Check that all guards are installed and
function as intended.
After Operating For 5 Hours and 10 Hours:
Repeat steps 1 through 8 above.
Service and maintain the conveyor as defined in
Section 4: Service and Maintenance.
3.4 PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
Efficient and safe operation of the conveyor
requires that each operator knows the operating
procedures.
It is important for both the personal safety and
maintaining the good mechanical condition of
the machine that this checklist is followed.
Before operating the conveyor, and each
time thereafter, the following areas should be
checked.
1. Check worksite. Clean up working area to
prevent slipping or tripping.
2. Be sure that the battery is fully charged.
If needed, charge the battery before
connecting it with the battery cables.
3. Lubricate and service the machine as per
the schedule outlined in the Section 4.2.
4. Check that all guards are installed, secured
and functioning as intended. Do not operate
with missing or damaged shields.
5. Check that the belt is properly tensioned and
aligned. Ensure it is not frayed or damaged.
Refer to Section 4.3.1 and 4.3.2
6. Be sure conveyor wheels are chocked.
7. Check that discharge and intake hopper
areas are free of obstructions.
UPENDING HAZARD
Anchor or support conveyor during operation.
When lower half empties of material, the
weight balance transfers to the discharge end
of the machine, which can cause upending.
