Step 2: Presetting the extendable foot sections of the belt lifter
Based on the measurements taken, set the
extendable foot sections to the width of the
system, to ensure that the foot sections sit
firmly on the conveyor belt. The extendable
foot sections can either be adjusted so that
they rest on the conveyor structure, if more
height is required, see Figure 24, or so that
they are suspended in the conveyor structure,
see Figure 25.
To preset the extendable foot sections, only
the blade pin (see Figure 26) needs to be
removed, and then the foot section can be
pulled inward or outward. Adjust both foot
sections to the same length, so that both foot sections sit securely on the conveyor structure.

Step 3: Position the belt lifters on the conveyor belt
After adjusting the extendable foot sections on or in the conveyor system structure, slide the belt lifter
safely over the conveyor belt, and position it at a right angle to the conveyor system structure.
