TURBO HB
3.1. Belt Direction
Please read the safety instructions provided at the beginning of this manual before
Starting the conveyor
3.2. Belt tensioning – Checking the tension
Please read the safety instructions provided at the beginning of this manual before
carrying out any maintenance on the conveyor.
Correct conveyor belt tension is essential to ensure proper operation and extended life of the conveyor
components. The belt has been properly tensioned during factory assembly. As normal wear occurs the
belt may become slack and need adjustment. The following factors may be used to determine whether
the belt needs adjustment.
Belt too loose: Belt slack at exit point of the drive sprocket before re-entry into frame (see illustration).
Belt too tight: Belt has intermittent jerks and a popping sound while the conveyor is in operation.
