Operating the Conveyor

NEVER

operate the conveyor with guarding removed.

Make sure area is clear of people and foreign objects



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/chips can
accumulate in the in-feed, and that it is stopped after being allowed to run off any
material it is currently carrying.



Failure to observe these conditions could lead to overloading of the system at start-up,
slippage of the torque converter, and/or premature wear. Always start the conveyor
before applying its load and stop the conveyor after it has been allowed to clear the belt.
