4.3.2 Conveyor Belt Alignment:
BELT DAMAGE HAZARD
Alignment of the belt must be checked at
the hopper, transition and discharge. Inspect
weekly. Unaligned belt will cause damage and
void warranty.
BEARING FAILURE
If a roller is replaced, ensure both ends are
evenly aligned with the frame before running.
If not, bearing failure may occur.
The belt is properly aligned when it runs in the
centre of all.
Check frequently during the first few minutes
of operation with a new belt, and then several
times during the first 10 hours.
The new belt normally seats itself during the
first 10 hours of operation and can be checked
weekly after that.
ROTATING BELT HAZARD
To check belt position, idle engine,
then rotate the belt slowly.
Turn off engine when adjusting rollers.

If belt is out of alignment,
it will move to the loose side.
Tighten loose side or loosen tight side.
