NBC General Procedures
The following procedures are to be used as guidelines only. Specific installation methods will vary
somewhat depending on available equipment on site and each installer's preferences based on past
experience.
The Installation Supervisor must be experienced with conveyor, qualified in
the mechanics of the equipment, enforce safe working procedures for the
protection of the crew, customer, and customer’s property.
Before restarting a conveyor which has been stopped because of an
emergency, an inspection of the conveyor must be made and the cause of the
stoppage determined. The starting device must be locked out before any
attempt is made to correct the cause of stoppage.

OINTS
The path of each conveyor in the system is determined by establishing a reference point at each end.
The center line of the conveyor is established and a chalk line is snapped between these points.
Conveyors should be installed with the center line of the bed matching the center line of the conveyor
path within 1/8" of true center. Locate and mark the center of the crossmembers at each end of the
conveyor. Use a plumb line or other acceptable means to ensure accuracy to the chalk line.
Always carry out a thorough check for any obstructions such as building columns, manholes, etc. It
may be necessary to reroute the conveyor to avoid the obstruction. In this case it would be advisable
to begin installation at this point, using the obstruction as a reference point (Datum), and install the
section in either direction as required.

section is a leading cause of belt mistracking. Measure diagonally across the four corners of the
conveyor frame to determine if frame is out of square. If the measurement is not equal between the
