Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE DRUM MOTOR:
The Drum Motor MUST be mounted horizontally, square to the conveyor
frame and parallel to the idler pulley. The arrow on the shaft opposite the
junction box MUST be pointing up,
with no more than 30 degrees off
of vertical. This will ensure that the
gear reducer is properly lubricated.
For special mounting arrangements,
consult your Van der Graaf (VDG)
representative.
NOTE: The Drum Motor has been factory filled with the correct amount
and type of oil, and does not require any additional oil.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
To ensure proper electrical connection, always reference the connection
diagrams provided (see pages 4-8). Be sure to use qualified personnel and
observe compliance with local electrical codes. If in doubt, consult your
Van der Graaf representative. Ensure that the motor is being installed with
the appropriate overload protection device(s), (fuse, breakers, thermal
overload protection {GV-THERM}) if equipped. Reference the Drum Motor
nameplate to determine allowable full load amperage.
When the motor is equipped with a backstop (TB) device, the motor must
be connected electrically according to the correct rotational direction (see
page 9 for complete instructions).
PRIOR TO STARTING:
1. Be sure that the Drum Motor is correctly connected and supplied with
the rated voltage.
2. Check that the Drum Motor and conveyor belt are unobstructed and
free to rotate.
CAUTION: Never over tension the conveyor belt as internal damage
may occur.
