4.1.2 Pit Conveyor Belt Installation Tool
The Pit Conveyor Belt installation tool is used to remove spring tension from the
belt roller for replacement of the belt, belt roller, bounce board, and other related
parts. With the pinspotter shutdown, insert the tool between the tail plank and the
belt near one end of the roller, and using the tool as a lever, apply pressure towards
the rear of the machine until you can insert a belt removing pin (P/N 792-501-001)
into the hole provided in the side plate. Repeat this procedure for the other end of
the roller. The front roller can now be removed.
Because of the danger involved should the belt removing pins be accidentally
knocked out while working in the pit, the belt installation tool can be used in
conjunction with the flag (P/N 792-502-002) to remove spring tension from the
front roller bearing supports. Attach the flag to the bearing support as shown in
Figure 4.1-2, apply rearward pressure, remove the belt removing pin, and carefully
let off pressure until the bearing support is resting against the tail plank. Repeat for
the other side. Perform this procedure with caution as the bearing supports are
under considerable spring tension.
