3.3.6 Insert section of chain

Run a short section of chain by hand through each conveyor and over each
sprocket. Make sure there are not tight spots or obstructions such as sharp
edges, uneven wear strips, protruding bolts or screws or misaligned sprockets.
Adjust all items as required.

Transfers are very critical! Check all transfer locations by laying chain in the
tracks and sliding products through the transfer by hand. Adjust wear strips,
sprockets, corner tracks, deadplates, and guide rails as required.
3.4 Inspect Conveyor
Clean the entire conveyor and remove any abrasive such as welding splatter, construction
debris, dirt or metal chips that are present on the conveyor frame or embedded in the
wear strips. If wear strips are damaged or embedded with debris, replace them as
necessary.
CAUTION
Minor or moderate injury will or could occur
All machinery must be turned off and locked out, prior to chain installation, inspection,
maintenance or removal.
Care should be used when handling the chain to avoid crushed or pinched fingers. Keep
the chain under control at all time.
The chain can easily be twisted, causing permanent deformation. Make all chain
connections on the conveyor frame.
3.4.1 Installation-Chain

For side-flexing applications requiring lubrication, apply a light coating of mineral
oil or grease to the inside corner wear strips before installing chain.

If reinstalling used chain it is recommended to oil any roller base chain.

Tread the chain onto each conveyor in 10 ft sections as shipped from the factory

Be careful to avoid twisting and damaging the chain. Make all connections on the
frame at either the drive or idler sprockets locations.

Install chains hand tight. The catenary sag of each conveyor needs to be
checked later.
