Installing
tensioner on inside
chute wall
1. For installations on the inside of the chute wall:
a. Mark chute wall as shown in Figure 5.
b. The inside mounting plate is factory installed on the tensioner.
NOTE
Tensioner can be rotated up to 180 degrees. Tensioner may be
mounted with cables facing downward, but this is not the
preferred position as it can allow material to build up inside
the spring caps and around the springs.
c. Position tensioner in desired location free from obstructions as shown
in Figure 12.
d. Mark location of tensioner mounting plate.
e. Remove mounting plate from tensioner.
f. Bolt or weld mounting plate in location marked in Step 1.d.
g. Install tensioner onto mount plate.
2. Measure approximate cable length required and cut cable.
3. Assemble cable eyelet and clamp as shown in Figure 12.
4. Torque nuts on clamp to 10 Nm (7.5 ft lbs).
5. Attach each cable to tensioner.
6. Tighten tensioner adjustment nuts until cleaner is held firmly to belt.
7. Center cleaner on pulley and install a cable clamp on the far side upper
cleaner cable. This clamp keeps the cleaner centered on the belt.
8. For reversing operation, use two clamps. One on the operator side and one
on the far side.
9. Adjust fixed point bracket and tensioner bracket, so outer two elements
on each side are away from the belt. Increase the number of elements off
the belt as necessary in order to ensure the mechanical splices will pass.
10. Tighten all fasteners on fixed point brackets and tensioner mounts.
11. Tension cleaner according instructions in
