Checking the tension of the lift belt
1. Stretch the belt from the support structure.
2. Check that the distance is h= 10/30 mm for a correct tension.
See Figure 1.
NB. : High ambient temperatures will affect the tension of the belt. Therefore, in places where the temperature
might affect the belt, its tension must be checked strictly and regularly.
9.3.10
Adjusting the alignment of and tightening the lift belt
Perform the following steps to correctly centre the belt:
1. Completely empty the hopper.
2. Centre the belt on the upper roller, by visual inspection, leaving each side the same distance from
the metal plates
. See Figure 2.
3. Start the operation of the belt manually. To do so, access the machine screen menu, as follows:
i) Manual
ii) Load
iii) Preform lift belt

100%
iv) ON / Belt in operation
4. View the lower roller while it is working

observe whether it is centred or if it moves
. See Figure 3.
5. If the belt is not centred, tighten the roller on the same side towards which the belt tends to move, in
order to move it in the opposite direction.
See Figure 4.
Perform the following steps:
i) Loosen the locknut.
ii) Tighten the belt by tightening the screw (this will lower the height of the roller).
6. Once the belt has been centred on the lower roller, check the position of the belt on the upper roller
once more. If it is not centred, readjust it by repeating the steps of the procedure.
NB.
: After centring, check that the belt is stabilised. Perform visual checks every hour during the first four
hours after performing the procedure.
