Skandia Elevator KTG, Assembly Instructions Manual

Page: 22 / 28

Note! If the bend lid plate gets warm after a short period of operation, it
means that the conveyor chain is too tight.
8.
Once assembly of the conveyor is complete, test run it for a while and then
re-check the tension.
A new conveyor chain must be run for a period of time and then readjusted.
!
IMPORTANT!
Check the conveyor chain after 50 operating hours. See the separate
maintenance instructions for information on maintenance.
9.
Tighten the conveyor chain with the tensioning bolts in the tail end.
Note! The tensioning bolts have self-locking fixed nuts inside the conveyor.
! IMPORTANT!
•Make sure that the tail end shaft is at a right angle to the conveyor
chain.
• Make sure that the conveyor chain is not over-tensioned. The conveyor
chain is too taut if it cannot be pulled sideways at the tail end shaft.
Release the tension until it can be pulled slightly sideways.
