STOP the conveyor and ISOLATE POWER SUPPLY. Remove the feed
hopper, release the tension off of the belt and ensure there is no build up
around the tail drum or any stones trapped between the drum and framework,
then test to ensure the drum runs freely. Also carry out visual check on bearing
condition (any play or noise) and if you find there is a problem contact your
supplier who will arrange for a service visit. If no problem is found, tension the
belt and connect the power and switch on, whilst the belt is running check the
tracking and adjust as necessary to centralise the belt on the drum (see Fig 2
on page 8), switch off and refit the feed hopper.
