Locating the Positioner
A

C
• Look at the belt on the return side and identify where the belt is mistracking.
• Locate the Positioner in the center of the problem area.
• Generally, if the belt is correctly positioned at the tail pulley (A) so the belt is
center loaded, it will run straight on the top side.
• Another problem area may be at the counter-weight pulley (B and C).

mounting brackets from the inner shipping position,
move them down toward the rollers, and remount them

2. Determine Positioner location on the belt (in the
selected location). Measure an equal distance from a
common point on both sides of the structure and mark
both sides at the measured points (Fig. 2). The unit must
be square to the conveyor.
NOTE: The Positioner should be centered between
two standard return rollers. For general applications--
standard belts up to 72" (1800mm): position the unit no
closer than 3' (.9M) to a return roller and no farther than
6' (1.8M).
