3. After lowering the conveyor, always tighten the brake lock by turning the winch handle clockwise at least
two clicks.
4. After lowering, rotate the winch handle until cable has light tension.
5.4. Collapsible Hopper Cloth Control
The conveyor is designed with a collapsible hopper cloth to allow it to go under low discharge units.
Move the control handle toward the hopper or intake to raise the hopper cloth, and move the handle toward
the outlet or spout end to collapse the hopper cloth, see
Figure 5.

5.5. Conveyor Operating Angles
The conveyor lift can set the tube angle up to 30° when operating. Because the belt does not have roll back
barriers, the material will roll back if the angle is too steep. Do not position the conveyor at an angle steeper
than the grain will roll back (angle of repose) of the material to be moved.
Note
The lower the angle, the greater the capacity of the conveyor.
The following table indicates the maximum angle a conveyor can move grain.
To roughly determine conveyor angle, use angle guide on right. Stand the manual (vertically) on conveyor tube
and hold a string with a weight attached to end against the top of this page. Weighted end of string will fall
between degree lines, and from this the approximate angle of the conveyor can be determined.
