• Do not perform maintenance on the conveyor until the start-up controls, including
motor safety switches, are locked out and cannot be turned by any person other than
the one performing the maintenance.
•
If more than one member of a crew is working on the conveyor, EACH CREW
MEMBER MUST HAVE A LOCK ON THE POWER LOCK OUT. The air pressure
must be turned off to the work area. All pneumatic devices must be de-energized to
prevent accidental cycling of the device.
• Check the loosened parts have been retightened and all guards reinstalled.
• Make sure personnel are clear of all conveyor equipment before restarting the
system.
Gearmotor
The drive unit should be checked monthly. Check the motor gear case for leaking seals. Check
breather on the gear case for dirt accumulation.
Chains and Sprockets
Chains and sprockets should be checked monthly. If either the sprockets or the chain is worn, both
should be replaced. Sprockets must be checked for alignment with a straight edge. Clean the chain
with a non-flammable solvent and lubricate with 30W synthetic oil. A brush is recommended for oil
application.
Check chain tension after initial run-in and then monthly. Tension should be slightly slack, as shown:
Rollers
Inspect rollers periodically for debris build-up.
Belts
Belts normally need very little care. Clean monthly with compressed air or a stiff brush.
