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. Component Locations
Layout Drawing
Be sure to select the proper layout drawing. The dimensions change for each machine depending on the drive
option selected. Incorrect placement of the components affects machine balance and can cause a heavy or light
intake. The layout drawing is attached to the packing list.
Mark the Tube
Always ensure that the hopper remains level during the attachment of all components that bolt to the conveyor
tubing. Use a tape measure to mark out component locations that bolt to the tube. Mark locations on the top
side of the tube. Refer to the tube drawing attached to the packing list for layout measurements and
component locations.
Tightening Brackets
For all bolt-on brackets and u-clamps, tighten nuts part-way on one side of bracket, then tighten part-way on
opposite side. Do this until bracket is fully tightened and ensure it remains level during this procedure.
