approximately 1/2 inch. After the machine has operated for 8 to 10 hours, check the
belts again. It is normal for new belts to stretch slightly, so the belt tension may have
to be adjusted. When belts are too loose, they will slip. This will cause the belts and
pulleys to overheat and shorten their life.
Be sure that the shafts are running in the proper direction. All shafts, motor
shaft, fan shaft and eccentric shaft, should run counterclockwise when viewed from
the side of the machine where the motor is installed. Proper fan rotation is very
important and at least half of the problems with new stoners can be traced back to
incorrect rotation.
2.4 Clean Air Source/Exhaust
Supply air source should be clean and free of cross drafts or obstructions to
interfere with intake. Supply intake should be properly screened to prevent
foreign objects from entering the system. Some customers need to bring in clean
outside air rather than to draw dusty plant air through the filters installed on the
machine. The clean air source should have a filter area not less than the area of
the deck surface.
After the stoner is installed and the motor wired so the fans rotate in the
proper direction, familiarize yourself with the theory behind stoner operation and
the proper usage of the controls before attempting to make a separation. Oliver
advice to the customer is to follow local code and regulation for exhaust
system.
2.5 Warranty Clause
Failure to follow any or all the Installation requirements previously set forth by this
manual will result in a void of the factory warranty. Any damage incurred during
transportation or installation of the N series Stoner will not be covered under the
factory warranty.
