Installation on
Standard Stringer
1. Measure 10-9/16 in. (268 mm) from edge of idler roll and mark location
as center of first cross support.
2. Measure 28-7/8 in. (734 mm) from first mark and mark location as center
of second cross support.
3. Repeat procedure on opposite side of conveyor.
4. Position cross supports on stringer according to locations marked in
steps 1 and 2.
5. Make sure cross supports are perpendicular to belt and centered below
belt, or bars will wear unevenly and maintenance will be difficult.
NOTE
Martin Engineering recommends bolting rather than welding
cross supports to stringers for easier accessibility and
maintenance.
6. Bolt or weld cross supports (B) to stringers (A) as follows:
a. If bolting, drill or cut 9/16-in. holes in stringers through mounting
holes in feet of cross supports. Install cap screw, flat washer,
compression washer, and nut (C) in each hole to secure cross supports
to stringers.
b. If welding, clean stringer of rust and dirt. Then stitch weld cross
supports to stringers.
