Operator’s Manual: Transfer Conveyor
After the season’s use, the conveyor should be
thoroughly inspected and prepared for storage.
Repair or replace any worn/damaged
components to prevent unnecessary down time
next season.
For a long, trouble free life, this procedure should
be followed when preparing the unit for storage:
1. Remove all residual material from hopper and
tube.
2. Inspect all moving or rotating parts to see
if anything has become entangled in them.
Remove the entangled material.
3. Thoroughly wash the conveyor to remove all
dirt, mud, debris and residue.
- Clean inside the conveyor tube.
- Wash the top and under the conveyor belt.
4. Lubricate all grease fittings and bearings.
- Ensure all grease cavities have been filled
with grease to remove any water residue
from the washing. This also protects the
bearing seals.
5. For hydraulic drive units:
- Apply a light coat of oil to the roller chain
coupler to prevent rusting.
- Inspect all hydraulic hoses, fittings, lines,
couplers and fittings. Tighten any loose
fittings. Replace any hose that is badly
cut, nicked or abraded or is separating
from the crimped end of the fitting.

6. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to
prevent rusting.
7. For gas engine with electric start:
- Remove the battery, be sure it is fully
charged.
- Store it inside.
- Do not sit the battery on a cold floor.
8. Select a storage area that is dry, level and
free of debris.
- If it cannot be placed inside, cover the gas
engine or electric motor with a water proof
tarpaulin and tie securely in place.
9. Store away from human activity.
10. Do not allow children to play on or around
the stored machine.
