7.10 Infeed conveyor
The deflector rollers (1) of the infeed conveyor (front at the conveyor infeed) are fit-
ted with wipers (2). They scrape off adhering soil. The screws in the wipers must be
checked once a week and replaced as soon as the screw heads are heavily worn.
If the screw heads are worn too much, the wiper may come loose and fold into the
infeed conveyor. This will destroy the infeed conveyor. Damage of this type is not cov-
ered by any guarantee, warranty or goodwill.
The wipers must be adjusted or replaced as required, depending on the wear. The
area of the infeed conveyor deflector must be checked daily to once a week, depend-
ing on the soil conditions, and cleaned if heavily soiled. The sieve conveyor must be
tensioned as required.
It must never be tightened too much.
Check every day that all support rollers in the infeed conveyor duct are in good condi-
tion. If rollers in the area of the front axles are defective, heavily worn or missing alto-
gether, the belt will slip over the axle. This may cause significant damage to the axle
housing.
