4.4. Before You Begin
Before you assemble the conveyor:
• Familiarize yourself with all the sub-assemblies, components, and hardware that make up the equipment.
• Have all parts and components on hand, and arrange them for easy access.
• Separate the hardware (bolts, nuts, etc.) and lay them out into groups for easier identification during
assembly.
• If assembling inside, confirm the ceiling and door width/height provide enough clearance when installing the
undercarriage and to remove the conveyor from the building.
• Ensure there is adequate space to remove the assembled conveyor from the assembly area.
4.5. Assemble the Conveyor Tube
1. Place the tubes on support stands to support each tube section. The support stands must be set at equal
height (see
Figure 5
). Anchor the tubes to the stands if necessary to prevent rolling.
Failure to secure the tubes may result in personal injury.
2. Confirm that all tubes are set level and oriented correctly.
3. Fasten tube flanges together with 7/16" x 1" bolts (2) and 7/16" locknuts (1) as each tube section is placed,
starting at the hopper end and working toward the spout end. Ensure the tubes are aligned and the bolts
are straight.
Note
A punch can be used to assist alignment. If you are not careful, it is possible to bolt the flanges
together non-concentrically with the bolts crooked through the holes.
