7.12.1 Tensioning truck conveyor
The truck conveyor must be tensioned as required. The belt tension is correctly set
if the bottom return side of the belt sags approx. 2-3 cm between the rollers with the
truck conveyor fully lowered and the conveyor articulation fully extended (truck con-
veyor almost straight).
Truck conveyor correctly tensioned
Proceed as follows to tension the truck conveyor:
– Switch off engine and secure it against inadvertent starting.
– Loosen the fixing screws (1) for the deflector rollers on the right and left.
– Turn the nuts (2) on the tension rods (3) left/right until the left/right deflection rollers
are pushed back sufficiently far.
– Lock the nuts (2) on the tension rod (3) left/right.
– Tighten the fixing screws (1) for the deflector rollers on the right and left.
– Always make sure that you tension both sides of the belt evenly to prevent the belt
from wearing more on one side and being damaged.
