3.4. 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.
• Ensure there is adequate space to remove the assembled conveyor from the assembly area.
3.5. Hydraulic Fittings and Bolt Tightening
Remember the following basic considerations when tightening hydraulic fittings and bolts:
• Tighten all fasteners to the torque specified in
Section 5.1 – Bolt Torque on page 78
. Do not replace or
substitute bolts, nuts, or other hardware that is of lesser quality than the hardware supplied by the
manufacturer.
All hydraulic fittings should be torqued to the recommended specifications. See
Do not over-tighten fittings! Over-tightening hose fittings can crack the fittings or motor body
and will void the warranty.
3.6. Connect the Conveyor Tube to the Hopper
1. Align the conveyor tube and hopper.
2. Fasten the tube flanges together with 7/16" x 1" bolts (2) and 7/16" locknuts (1) (see
). Ensure 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.
