Installation 

 
Before beginning the installation process ensure that you 
have fully read the following information and that you are 
comfortable in your abilities to complete the various tasks. 
 
Ensure  that  you  have  read  all  the  relevant  safety 
information  in  the  preceding  pages  in  order  to  protect 
both  yourself  and  co-workers  from  injury  and  to  protect 
the equipment from damage. 
 
Depending  upon  the  type  and  configuration,  some 
conveyors  are  supplied  fully  assembled  and  only  require 
installing  while  others  are  supplied  partially  assembled 
and  need  to  be  completed  on  site.  Please  follow  the 
relevant instructions below for your specific conveyor(s). 
 

Assembled Conveyors 

 

1.

 

Unpack the conveyor and check for damage. 

 
2.

 

Ensure  the  installation  area  is  flat  and  free  of 
debris. 

 

3.

 

Position conveyor in desired location and ensure 
that it is level in both directions. 

 

4.

 

Conveyors  are  supplied  with  one  of  three  leg 
options: 

a)

 

Fixed 

I.

 

For fixed legs, drill through the 
holes  in  the  feet  and  use 
suitable  anchors  to  fasten  the 
conveyor to the floor. 

 

b)

 

Adjustable 

I.

 

For adjustable legs, slacken the 
clamping bolts on the legs and 
adjust  the  leg  length.  Re-
tighten the clamping bolts and 
check  the  conveyor  for  level. 
Drill  through  the  holes  in  the 
feet and use suitable anchors to 
fasten  the  conveyor  to  the 
floor. 

 

c)

 

Castors 

I.

 

For  castors,  lock  the  wheels 
with the wheel locks (if fitted).

 

5.

 

Check the oil level in the gear reducer.

 

 

6.

 

If your conveyor is supplied with its own control box 
this now needs to be wired into a suitable electrical 
supply.  If  your  conveyor  is  supplied  without  a 
control  box  then  it  will  need  to  be  wired  into  the 
control system of your machine. 

 

Note:

   All  electrical  wiring  must  be  completed  by  a 

qualified electrician according to local codes

 

 

Operating the Conveyor 

 
The  procedures  for  routine  operation  of  the  conveyor  will 
vary depending on whether the conveyor has its own control 
system or if it is tied into your machine control system. 
 
For  stand-alone  conveyors  press  the  <Start>  button  to  run 
the conveyor and the <Stop> button to stop the conveyor. 

The  <Reverse>  button  (if  fitted)  will  ‘jog’  the  belt  in  the 

reverse direction. 
 
For conveyors which are tied into another machine control 
system, the start and stop commands will have to be issued 
from  that  system.  In  either  case  it  is  important  that  the 
conveyor is started before any parts can accumulate on the 
belt and that it is stopped after being allowed to run off any 
parts it is currently carrying. 
 
Failure to observe these conditions could lead to overloading 
of the system at start-up causing premature wear on the belt 
and in the drive. Always start the conveyor before applying 
its load and stop the conveyor after it has been allowed to 
clear the belt. 
 

WARNING 

 

NEVER

 attempt any maintenance unless authorized to do 

so.  

Always

  disconnect  power  supply  and  lock  out  before 

removing  guarding  for  correcting  problems  or  for 
maintenance. 

Always

 re-install guards before starting machine.
