CONVEYOR
The conveyor (Figure Sp-14) carries debris swept
up by the main broom to the hopper. Proper convey-
or operation depends on correct belt tension and
clean upper and lower rollers.
The conveyor is adjusted properly when the tips of
the conveyor belt cleats clear the conveyor housing
frame. If too loose, the belt may slip and the cleats
will show excessive wear from rubbing the conveyor
housing or frame. If too tight, the belt will fail pre-
maturely.
Before adjustment, the conveyor belt must be clean
and the lower roll flushed out.
CAUTION
On Series F Eagles, never raise the hopper
when working in the conveyor area.
To adjust the belt tension, follow this procedure:
1. Make certain that the conveyor belt is clean
and the lower roller is completely flushed out
before adjusting belt.
NOTICE
Accumulation of debris in the lower roller and
scraper area may result in damage to the conveyor
belt and lower roller.
2. With the hopper empty, tilt the hopper.
