8. Shim the MWL (if required) / Recheck base-bar weight for clearance
When the MWL is used with the MUS belt scale, due to the wide variety of idler types
and sizes, it may be necessary to shim the MWL for proper operation.
• Compare your idler spine to the spine type and size in the tables above, for a
guide to the size of shims you may require.
• Select shims that will allow you to adjust the MWL crank bodies to the correct
level.
• Remove the bolt, nut, and washer on one crank body and position the shim
between the crank body and the conveyor stringer: it should not be necessary to
loosen or remove the torque tube connecting the two crank bodies.
• After the shim is in position, re-install and tighten the bolt, nut, and washer.
• Repeat the same procedure with the other crank body, then recheck the crank
body alignment. (See next page for details.)
Note:
These tables are provided as a guideline only: shimming is often not required
