CONVEYOR BELT ADJUSTMENT

ALIGNMENT AND TENSIONING

 Read all safety warnings (see page 5) before proceeding.

 Lock power o.

 Mark the inial posion.

 By design, the conveyor belt should have 1/16” or less clearance to side frames. This assists in

prevenng debris from geng under the belt but some side rubbing may be expected. This is

normal.

 Loosen jam nuts, each side of machine (see image below).

 Ensure all personnel are clear and that no tools are on machine or input chute.

 Turn power on.

 Run machine in forward.

 Stop machine and turn power o.

 Adjust alignment by ghtening take-up bolt on side of conveyor where belt is rubbing side frame. Tighten

only one quarter turn at a me.

 Tighten jam nuts.

 Replace all guards.

 Turn power on.

 Run machine in forward for ve minutes. If further alignment is required, repeat the above steps.

NOTE:

The belt may stretch during the rst few days of operaon. This will aect alignment since the belt

alignment relies in part on proper tensioning for eecve tracking.
