ROTATING BELT HAZARD
Turn off engine, lock-out power and
wait for all components to stop moving
before adjusting the belt.
To check belt position, idle the engine,
then rotate the belt slowly.
4.3.1 Conveyor Belt Tension:
The tension of the belt should be checked
weekly, or more often if required, to be sure that
it does not slip under load.
Top-End Drive Units:
1. Loosen the roller bearing housing bolts.
2. Move the adjustment bolts to correct the
belt’s tension.
3. Tighten the roller bearing housing.
4. Adjust equally on the other side to maintain
alignment.
Note:
To measure the belt tension,
push on the underside of the belt.
It should move up to 4 inches (10 cm).
Any more than that and the
belt needs more tension.

S-Drive Units:
The spring tension bolts have yellow washers
sandwiched between the bolt and spring.
Reference the tension indicator on the outside of
each spring. Line up the yellow washer with the
points inside the indicator window. Using these
points, the springs will measure 3-3/4” (95 mm).
Note:
If belt needs more or less slack,
stop belt, and turn off engine.
Move hopper roller 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
Tension the belt at drive box.
IMPORTANT:
If tensioning the belt while it is running,
adjust in small incriminates,
alternating between the two bolts often.
This will keep the belt aligned.
