Pre-Operation Check List
1. Check all bearings for proper lubrication.
2. Check the tube for foreign material.
3. Check belt for proper tension.
4. Start unit and check tender belt alignment while unit is empty.
BELT CARE ………
It is suggested that the unit be run every two to three days or more often if possible. This tends to
keep the belt alive and stops any forming of the belt to the curvature of the tube while the unit is
not in use.
NOTE: Belt may deteriorate if not in use and exposed to weather conditions for any prolonged
period of time.
Operation Sequence
1. Check drive chain for proper tension.
2. Make sure tender belt is properly tensioned.
3. Allow unit to run empty for a few minutes to flex tender belt.
4. Check tender belt for proper alignment.
5. Before shutting power off, be certain head and tail unit is empty.
STORAGE ………
Temporary Storage
1. Relieve tension on tender belt.
2. Store all belt equipment in a dry place. If equipment cannot be stored out of the weather,
cover engine and mechanical parts with waterproof material.
Prolonged Storage
1. Remove all belts and store in a cool, dark, dry place.
2. Wash tender belt thoroughly.
3. Wash tender tube both inside and out.
4. Lubricate all bearings.
5. Store in a dry shelter.
Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is the key to the long life of any mechanical device.
Careful and systematic inspection of the Seed Tender will result in maximum, trouble-free service.
BELT REPLACEMENT ………
To replace the belt, cut it into and hand rotate the head roller until belt has been removed. Install
appropriate belt as outlined in assembly instructions.
HEAD ASSEMBLY TAKE-UP ………
After extended use, the tender belt may stretch to the point that there is not sufficient take-up in
the head assembly to tighten it. Obtain additional take-up by cutting a 6" to 8" section from the
belt. A new splice lacing may be ordered from your CrustBuster/Speed King distributor or from the
factory.
PERIODIC CLEAN-OUT ………
Due to the characteristics of certain materials, residue sometimes collects between the tender belt
and the tube. Check the unit periodically for any material build up in this area. If residue appears
excessive, remove the tender belt and thoroughly wash the belt and tube. Allow belt and tube to
dry before reinstalling the belt.
When the tender is not being used, secure belt to the tube to prevent belt from flopping in the wind,
possibly breaking return idlers or ripping belt.
LUBRICATION ………
All bearings which are fitted with grease zerks should be lubricated at the conclusion of each
operating day. Before greasing the bearings, make certain the zerks are free of dirt, otherwise this
will be passed into the bearing race. If the unit will be out of service for a period of time, purge the
bearings.
BELT TRAINING PROCEDURE ………
A tender belt correctly installed and trained will run straight and true. The belt must run centered
on all terminal rollers, take-up rollers, and return idlers throughout the entire belt length.
Incorrect installation and training can result in severe edge damage, material spillage, material
leakage through the skirt rubber at the loading point, and excessive power demands. Material
spillage is the usual reason for belt carcass ruptures and pulley cover gouging and stripping, while
leakage at the skirt rubber results in excessive conveyor cover wear under the skirts.
