Fig 22 shows the required clearance from
the edge of the cleat (on the main belt) to
the edge of the side skirt, A = 10

The rubber side skirts must be in contact

sand, stones and material will build
up on the head/tail rollers resulting in a
slack belt!

If the situation in Fig 23 occurs, the belt
cleats can be trimmed Fig 24
5.
Fig 24 shows the trimming process. Use a
sharp knife and some lubricati
circumstances should the flat of the
discharge belt be cut. Cut down line (A)
when the cleat position is over the roller,
thus giving you support.

Fig 25 shows completing the trimming
process.
7.
Trimming the cleats is a delicate process,
and
must not be rushed; any damage to the
flat cover of the flat will void any warranty.
8.
If trimming is to be carried out , every cleat
must be trimmed to the same specification
on both edges, Failure to do this will result
in a unbalanced belt
