NOTE: PAT Tensioners are shipped with the air bags and torque arms
attached to the mounting bases.
7P. Tension the blades to the belt. Collapse both air bags (with
C-clamps) and rotate the blades until they are 25mm (1") short
of contact with the belt. Tighten the torque arm locking bolts and
jam nuts (Fig. 7P).
8P. Connect the supply lines and set
tension pressure. With the parts
supplied, attach a line to each air bag
and run the lines to the outlet side of
the control box (Fig. 8P). NOTE: Be
sure lines are safely away from the
belt. Connect a line from the inlet
side of the box to the site’s supply,
or air tank. Test the connections for
leaks and set the pressure per the
chart on the control box (also shown
to right).
9P. Test run the cleaner. Run the conveyor for at least 15 minutes and
inspect cleaning performance. Make adjustments as necessary.
