3.6 OPERATING HINTS
• Swing the conveyor into the best possible position
for convenient and easy unloading.
• Always listen for any unusual sounds or noises. If
any are heard, stop the machine and determine the
source. Correct the problem before resuming work.
• Never allow anyone into the workplace hazard area.
If anyone enters, stop immediately. The visitor must
leave before resuming work.
• For best results, conveyor belt should rotate at a
speed of 400 to 500 ft./min.
• Do not run the machine for long periods of time with
no material on the belting. This increases the wear.
Try to run only when moving material.
• The conveyor hopper is designed with flashing to
seal the junction of the belt with the sides of the
conveyor’s hopper. It must be kept in good condition
to prevent the material from “leaking” out of the
hopper. Replace flashing if “leakage” occurs.
