Section 5 – Operation And Handling
Step 8b: Raise the belt
Rotate the adjusting nut counter-clockwise with the supplied nut driver and ratchet, until the belt has
reached the desired height. Optionally, you can use a power wrench with limited torque (not included).
Remove the ratchet or power wrench before starting repair work on the conveyor belt.
Step 9b: Lower the belt
When the repair work on the conveyor belt has been completed, put the ratchet or power wrench back
on the adjusting nut and rotate it clockwise until the belt lifter is in its lowest position once more.
Caution!
When lowering the belt, do not continue to rotate it once it has reached its end position, as this could
damage the device.
Step 10b: Remove belt lifters
In order to disconnect the long chains, first remove the lifting rod. Press the metal tab on the shortening
claw inward by hand. With the other hand, you can now pull the chain link out of the shortening clutch,
see Figure 34.
Using the shortening clutch, remove the cotter pins and the troughing belt pins from the attachment
points of the short chains. Remove the short chains. Put the troughing belt pins back into the boreholes
in the troughing belt, and secure them with the cotter pins.
Slide the belt lifter safely away from the conveyor belt construction and bring the extendable foot
sections as far inwards as possible, so that the device can be safely transported and stored. Reinsert the
blade pins.
