WARNING 

ALWAYS STOP the belt, lock-out, and/or place a "Do Not Energize" tag on the main 

disconnect before working on or around the weighfeeder. 

 

8.1

 

Preventative maintenance 

The maintenance schedule below is recommended to maintain top performance and accuracy of 

the system. Weighfeeders mounted in severe weather or dusty conditions may require a more 

rigorous maintenance schedule. 
Make sure the weigh idler is aligned with the approach and retreat sections for accurate 

weighing. Periodic measurement to verify alignment is recommended.
