Holding the Shield above the conveyor, angle down the Nose Bar end so that it touches the conveyor
before the rest of the Shied. Align both sides of the lower shield with the back of the Conveyor Head
Plate, then guide the two Lower Shield edges over the outside of the Conveyor Frame. Notches should
align with all Conveyor Mount Tabs and M8 Thumb Screw Studs.

portions of the M8 Thumb Screw Studs tight against the Conveyor Frame. The Thumb Screws
will apply pressure and hold the Shield Assembly in place.

Ensure Shield is resting on the Mount Peg, then tighten the three Thumb Screws to secure the Shield in
place.
Wipers
The Wipers direct product into
the middle of the conveyor and
ease the cleaning process, the
Wipers are a wear-part, over time
the wipers will need to be
replaced to maintain proper
function.

With the Shield Assembly
removed from the machine
and sitting on a flat surface remove the Serrated Flange Nuts located on the outside of the Shield
Assembly.

orientation. Parts are very similar from side to side, but different and will prevent proper
assembly and installation if not reinstalled correctly.
