MAINTENANCE
CONVEYOR
Check tension, clean, and lubricate the conveyor
chain daily. To lubricate, refer to the CONVEYOR
CHAIN in the LUBRICATION section of this
manual.
The hydraulic cylinders apply tension to the
conveyor chain while the machine is operating.
When the sweeping system is turned off, the
conveyor is equipped with a locking ratchet
mechanism to keep the conveyor chain from
disengaging the drive sprockets.
As the conveyor chain wears, the locking ratchet
mechanism moves up the pins mounted on the
slide rails on both sides of the machine. Clean the
ratchet mechanisms daily. Check the ratchet tips
and pins for damage and wear daily.
Check the conveyor skirts and paddles for damage
and wear daily.
WARNING: Conveyor throws debris.
Conveyor pinch point. Stay clear when
in operation.
Clean the conveyor thoroughly with a garden hose
daily.
Tilt the hopper back, engage the hopper tilt support
bar, and turn the machine power off. Remove the
top conveyor panel from rear of the conveyor to
access the interior of the conveyor.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, wear
eye and ear protection when using pressurized
air or water.
