MODEL 3680 INFEED SECTION
ADJUSTING INFEED CONVEYOR
CHAIN TENSION
1. Locate the chain tensioning screws. They will be at the front end of the machine on each side of the Infeed
Conveyor.
2. Loosen the bolts holding down the pillow block bearings.
3. Turn the tensioning screws to the right to tighten and to the left to loosen.
4. Turning one screw more than the other will cause the chain to run to one direction. Turn the other tension screw
to straighten up the path of the Infeed Conveyor Chain.
5. When the Conveyor Chain has the correct tension, the inside of the chain will be running 1-1/2” (38.1 mm) to 2”
(50.8 mm) above the frame below idler bearing. See decal located on the machine.
6. Be sure that both sides are tensioned the same and that the chain is running straight.
7. When adjustment is finished be sure to tighten the bearing bolts.
INFEED SECTION
The Infeed Conveyor Drive Chain needs to be oiled Daily. New chain is installed fairly tight and will loosen up
slightly as the joints set themselves. After the first few weeks of operation the chain drive should be adjusted to
have a small amount of slack. Adjustment is made by loosening the hydraulic motor mount bolts and turning the
adjuster bolt to achieve desired tension. Retighten motor mount bolts.
Check alignment of the sprockets and chain Daily for the first 100 hours of running. New bolts may loosen up and
cause sprockets to move. Once the bolts are retightened they will generally not come loose again. After 100 hours
check alignment monthly.
The Recycler comes with a three speed Infeed Conveyor Chain. The machine is designed to run with the Infeed
Conveyor in low. The two higher settings are for occasions where you are processing brush and limbs or material
that is not taxing the power unit. The best production can be realized by allowing the power unit to consistently run
in its power band range. If the Autofeed system is constantly engaging then you must use a lower speed or a
different combination of teeth and screens. You will loose time and money when the Autofeed system is continually
working. Placing it in a lower setting will allow the machine to run smoother. This saves Teeth, takes less time to
produce more, and saves fuel.
ADJUSTING INFEED CONVEYOR
TOOTH CLEARANCE
1. Locate the chain tensioning screws. They will be under the Infeed Conveyor Drive shaft bearings at the opposite
end from the tensioning screws.
2. Loosen the bolts holding down the pillow block bearings.
3. Turn the tensioning screws to the right to get the Infeed Chain closer to the teeth and to the left to bring it away
from the teeth.
4. Turning one screw more than the other will cause the chain to run to one direction. Turn the other tension screw
to straighten up the path of the Infeed Conveyor Chain.
5. The minimum clearance between a new tooth and the chain should be 3/4” (19.1 mm).
6. Be sure that both sides are at the same clearance and that the chain is running straight.
7. When adjustment is finished be sure to tighten the bearing bolts.
