1.2. General Product Safety
YOU are responsible for the SAFE use and maintenance of your conveyor. YOU must ensure that you and
anyone else who is going to work around the conveyor understands all procedures and related SAFETY
information contained in this manual.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you, but also the people around
you. Make these practices a working part of your safety program. All accidents can be avoided.
• It is the conveyor owner, operator, and maintenance personnel's responsibility to
read and understand ALL safety instructions, safety decals, and manuals and follow
them when operating, or maintaining the equipment.
• Owners must give instructions and review the information initially and annually with all personnel before
allowing them to operate the conveyor. Untrained users/operators expose themselves and bystanders to
possible serious injury or death.
• The conveyor is not intended to be used by children.
• Use the conveyor for its intended purposes only.
• Do not modify the conveyor in any way without written permission from the manufacturer. Unauthorized
modification may impair the function and/or safety, and could affect the life of the conveyor. Any
unauthorized modification will void the warranty.

1.3. Moving Conveyor Belt Safety
• DO NOT step on or touch moving conveyor belt.
• Shut off and lock out power to adjust, service, or clean.
1.4. Rotating Parts Safety
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from rotating pulleys,
belts, chains, and sprockets.
• Do not operate with any guard removed or modified. Keep
guards in good working order.
• Shut off and remove key or lock out power source before
inspecting or servicing machine.
1.5. Drives and Lockout Safety
Inspect the power source(s) before using and know how to shut down in an emergency.
Whenever you service or adjust your equipment, make sure you shut down the power
source and unplug or remove the key (as applicable) to prevent inadvertent start-up and
hazardous energy release. Know the procedure(s) that applies to your equipment from the
following power source(s). Ensure that all personnel are clear before turning on power to
equipment.

1.5.1 Electric Motor Safety
Power Source
• Electric motors and controls shall be installed and serviced by
a qualified electrician and must meet all local codes and
standards.
• A magnetic starter should be used to protect your motor.
• You must have a manual reset button.
• Reset and motor starting controls must be located so that the
operator has full view of the entire operation.
• Locate main power disconnect switch within reach from
ground level to permit ready access in case of an emergency.
• Motor must be properly grounded.
• Guards must be in place and secure.
• Ensure electrical wiring and cords remain in good condition;
replace if necessary.
• Use a totally enclosed electric motor if operating in
extremely dusty conditions.
SERVICE DISCONNECT
ON
OFF
Lockout
• The main power disconnect switch should be in the locked position during shutdown or
whenever maintenance is performed.
• If reset is required, disconnect all power before resetting motor.

1.5.2 Hydraulic Power Safety
Power Source
• Refer to the rules and regulations applicable to the power
source operating your hydraulic drive.
• Do not connect or disconnect hydraulic lines while system is
under pressure.
• Keep all hydraulic lines away from moving parts and pinch
points.
• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure will cause serious
injury if it penetrates the skin surface (serious infection or
toxic reaction can develop). See a doctor immediately if
injured.
• Use metal or wood as a backstop when searching for
hydraulic leaks and wear proper hand and eye protection.
• Check all hydraulic components are tight and in good
condition. Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or
crimped hoses.
• Clean the connections before connecting to equipment.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings
or hoses with tape, clamps, or adhesive. The hydraulic
system operates under extremely high pressure; such repairs
will fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
Lockout
• Always place all hydraulic controls in neutral and relieve
system pressure before disconnecting or working on
hydraulic system.

1.6. Tire Safety
Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a
wheel or rim can produce an explosion that may result in
serious injury or death.
• DO NOT attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper
equipment and experience to do the job.
• Have a qualified tire dealer or repair service perform
required tire maintenance.
• When replacing worn tires, make sure they meet the original
tire specifications. Never undersize the replacement tire.
• DO NOT weld to the tire rim with the tire mounted on the
rim. This action may cause an explosion which could result in
serious injury or death.
• Inflate tires to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
• Tires should not be operated at speeds higher than their
rated speed.
• Keep wheel lug nuts tightened to manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• Never reinflate a tire that has been run flat or seriously
under-inflated without removing the tire from the wheel.
Have the tire and wheel closely inspected for damage before
remounting.

3. Assembly
Before continuing, ensure you have completely read and understood this manual’s
Safety section, in addition to the safety information in the section(s) below.
3.1. Assembly Safety
• Do not take chances with safety. The components can be large, heavy, and hard to handle.
Always use the proper tools, rated lifting equipment, and lifting points for the job.
• Carry out assembly in a large open area with a level surface.
• Always have two or more people assembling the conveyor.
• Make sure you have sufficient lighting for the work area.
• Tighten all fasteners according to their specifications. Do not replace or substitute bolts,
nuts, or other hardware that is of lesser quality than the hardware supplied by the
manufacturer.
3.2. Check Shipment
Unload the conveyor parts at the assembly site and compare the packing slip to the shipment. Ensure that all
items have arrived and that none are damaged.
Report missing or damaged parts immediately to ensure that proper credit is received from or your distributor/
dealer, and to ensure that any missing parts can be shipped quickly to avoid holding up the assembly process.
Important
Do not assemble or install damaged components.

20 P1512161 R0
3.4. Before You Begin
Before you assemble the conveyor:
• Familiarize yourself with all the sub-assemblies, components, and hardware that make up the equipment.
• Have all parts and components on hand, and arrange them for easy access.
• Separate the hardware (bolts, nuts, etc.) and lay them out into groups for easier identification during
assembly.
• Ensure there is adequate space to remove the assembled conveyor from the assembly area.
3.5. Hydraulic Fittings and Bolt Tightening
Remember the following basic considerations when tightening hydraulic fittings and bolts:
• Tighten all fasteners to the torque specified in Section 5.1 – Bolt Torque on page 78. Do not replace or
substitute bolts, nuts, or other hardware that is of lesser quality than the hardware supplied by the
manufacturer.
All hydraulic fittings should be torqued to the recommended specifications. See Section 5.2 – Fittings Torque
Values on page 79.
Do not over-tighten fittings! Over-tightening hose fittings can crack the fittings or motor body
and will void the warranty.
3.6. Connect the Conveyor Tube to the Hopper
1. Align the conveyor tube and hopper.
2. Fasten the tube flanges together with 7/16" x 1" bolts (2) and 7/16" locknuts (1) (see Figure 4). Ensure the
bolts are straight.
Note
A punch can be used to assist alignment. If you are not careful, it is possible to bolt the flanges
together non-concentrically with the bolts crooked through the holes.
