Chapter 3: Installing the FT-70

Preparing the Conveyor
After you determine the installation location you must prepare the
conveyor for the installation.
1. Mark the installation location of the FT-70 on the side channel
by drawing a vertical line with a marker. This is the centerline
on which the FT-70 will be aligned when installed.
2. Create a 5 inch (13 cm) wide gap in the conveyor guide rails on
both sides of the conveyor. Center the gap on the centerline
mark you made in step 1.

3. Modify the guide rails upstream of the FT-70 to form ramp
actions as described in your rejector manual. The last ramp
action should occur at least 12 inches (31 cm) upstream of the
FT-70 centerline mark.
