3. Start the power source and idle at low rpm. Engage hydraulic lever to power winch. Test the direction of
rotation of winch to ensure drum is moving in the direction required. Increase tractor rpm until desired rate
of lift or descent is reached.
Do not touch, grab, or guide cable while equipment is being raised or lowered.
Do not continue to supply power to winch when the conveyor has reached full up position
as this can cause damage.
4. When lowering, if the cable becomes slack before the conveyor is in the full down position, this indicates
that the track shoe is stuck. To correct the problem, reverse the winch and raise the conveyor until the cable
is taut and track slides normally.
5. After lowering, adjust the hydraulic winch until cable has light tension.
5.6. 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
.

5.7. 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.
