In certain applications it is necessary to modify the location of the precleaner pole due to permanent obstacles that
obstruct the desired location. Relocating the pole location can be done easily and does not hinder the performance of the
cleaner as long as the “C” dimension is maintained.
NOTE:
In the following example we will be lowering the pole location in the “Y” direction, but the same method
could also be applied in the “X” direction.
Conveyor
situation:
Pulley Diameter: 900mm
X = 322mm
Y = 482mm
C = 580mm
1. Determine the given location dimensions and define the change needed.
After laying out the given X & Y
dimensions, determine the distance of the modification required for adequate clearance of the pole and tensioning
system. (In the example we decide to lower the pole 50mm to clear the support structure).
2. Write down known dimensions.
We can now determine two of the three required dimensions which will allow us to
find the third. We know we cannot alter the “C” dimension, so this will remain the same. Also we are required to lower
the unit in the “Y” dimension 50mm, so we add 50mm to the given “Y” dimension.
X = ?"
Y = 482mm + 50mm = 532mm
C = 580mm
3. Determine final dimension.
On a flat vertical surface, using a level, draw one horizontal line and one vertical line
creating a right triangle (Fig 3a). Measure down from the intersection the determined “Y” dimension and mark (Fig
3b). With the tape measure starting at the modified “Y” mark, swing the tape across the “X” line and mark at the “C”
dimension where it crosses the “X” line (Fig 3c). Measure from the intersection to the “C” intersection and this will be
your new “X” dimension (Fig. 3d).
X = 231mm
Y = 532mm
C = 580mm
