– INSTALLATION 

 

Lower Belt Tracker

 

Locate the lower guide unit approximately three times the belt width 

before  the  point  where  the  belt  adjustment  is  needed  or  before  any  major  pulley.  If  installing 
multiple units, allow 21 to 50m between units depending on the severity of mistracking.  
 

Upper Belt Tracker

  

Locate the upper guide unit beyond the loading point or three times 

the  belt  width  before  the  point  where  the  belt  adjustment  is  needed.  If  installing  multiple  units, 
allow 21 to 50m between units depending on the severity of mistracking.  
 
Remove existing troughing idler. Set aside for later use. 
 

Step 1. 

Refer to the installation drawing F0154 (lower) or F0155 (upper) attached. 
Mark out the four hole patterns at 300mm centres on the stringers as shown.  
Check  before  drilling  the  hole  patterns  are  perpendicular  to  each  other  from  the  left  to  right 
stringers.  
If measuring from the tail pulley, first ensure the tail pulley is square with the stringers.  
 

Step 2.  

Refer to the exploded parts drawing F0158 (lower) or F0159 (upper) attached. 
Install the rear cross section. Mounts should be fastened after the rear cross section is in place.  
 

Step 3.  

Fit the cross section/pivot plate into position using the M12 x 210 lg. bolt & nyloc nut. 
Tighten the nut & check that the cross section pivots freely. 
 

Step 4. 

Adjust both the rear cross section and cross section/pivot plate.  
Ensuring  that  they  are  both  centralised  and  the  cross  section/pivot  plate  is adjusted correctly for 
the Idler (client supply), tighten the adjustment screws. 
 

Step 5. 

Adjust the rear cross section to engage the training idler to the belt. The idler should be elevated 
20-25mm from the standard return idler alignment as shown on the installation drawing. 
 

Step 6. 

Install the front cross section. 
Mounts should be fastened after the front cross section is in place. Adjust the front cross section, 
ensuring  the  torque  arm  pivot  point  is  aligned  centrally  with  the  cross  section/pivot  plate  pivot 
point. 
Fit the torque arm using the M12 x 175 lg. bolt & nyloc nut. Tighten the nut and ensure the torque 
arm pivots freely. 
 

Step 7. 

Fit  the  guide  frame  (without  guide  arms)  to  the  torque  arm  using  the  M12  x  135  lg.  bolt  &  nyloc 
nut. Tighten the nut and ensure the guide frame pivots freely. 
 

Step 8. 

Fit the parallel stay to the guide frame and front cross section  using an M12 nyloc nut. 
Adjust the parallel stay if required to ensure the guide frame is parallel with the front cross section 
and perpendicular with the torque arm when the unit is centralised.
