4.3.2 Conveyor Belt Tension:
The tension and alignment of the conveyor belts
should be checked daily to insure proper function.
Replace the belt when damaged or badly worn. To
maintain belt, follow this procedure:
1. Place all controls in their neutral or off position.
2. Stop engine, remove ignition key and lock-out.
Note:
The belt is tensioned correctly
when it does not slip
on the drive roller when loaded.
3. The tension is set and controlled by the tension
bolts on the tail end of both conveyors.
4. Loosen the tail roller bearing assembly.
5. On the slave conveyor, move both tension bolts
the same amount to tension the belt.
6. On the Folding Conveyor, tighten or loosen
tension bolts until the spring measures 3-3/4
inches (95 mm).
7. Tighten the roller assemblies.
8. Run the conveyor to test its tension.
4.3.3 Conveyor Belt Alignment:
The belt is properly aligned when the it runs in the
centre of the frame and the rollers. Be sure to run the
conveyor a full revolution to check the entire belt.
The belt can move from side-to-side while it is turning
as long as it doesn't contact the sides. If it touches the
sides, it must be aligned.
Note:
If belt is out of alignment,
it will move to the loose side.
Tighten loose side or loosen tight side.
1. Loosen the roller bearing assembly on the correct
side. of either the drive or tail roller.
2. Move the bearing assembly to align the belt.
3. Tighten the bearing assembly, then run the belt to
check alignment. Repeat, until it runs centred.
