Step 2: Remove the hopper screen and transition grate. Set them aside for later.
Step 1: Take the conveyor down
out of the transport saddles.
Position the conveyor so that
the downspout is over top of the
catwalk; this is being done for
easier access to the hood & top
end of the conveyor.
SECTION 1: PREPARATION
Note
Keep all disassembled hardware and components until the end of the update.
Note
If the conveyor hopper is fully assembled, then continue with Step 2. If the hopper hasn’t been fully assembled
and the components are just packaged up, skip to the installation section.

Step 3: Remove all transition and hopper flashing. Set aside for now.
a) Start by removing the fasteners that hold the upper rubber belting (hopper surround) on each side. Save
them for later.
b) Remove the screen cross support & the metal clamping strip along both sides. Set them aside for later.

c) Loosen the bottom 3 nuts on the tail belting support until they are flush with the end of the bolts & then
slide the support tail ward in the slots until the carriage bolts will clear. Lift the carriage bolts out of the
cutouts in the hopper with the tail belting support piece. Set it aside for later.
*Tip: It’s easiest to leave the upper belting & tail flashing attached to the support piece and remove the whole
thing as an assembly as it will be re-installed later.
d) Remove the fasteners along both sides of the hopper pan to remove the side belting supports and hopper
pan flashing pieces. Set them aside for later.

e) Remove the transition flashing and hold down bar

Step 4: Remove all tension from the belt by loosening the tail roller bearing bolts as well as the jam nuts on
both adjustment bolts and sliding the tail roller to the end of the slots.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
Step 5: Check hopper pan edges for excessive weld that will lift flashing up. Grind the protruding welds flush
with the hopper pan edge plates.
Note
Most likely locations are where the hopper pan rub bars meet the hopper pan edges.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 6: Check the seam between the transition and the tube. If the transition is severely inset and lifting the
belt off the side of the tube, then the edge will require grinding. Also check for any weld or other irregularities
in the seam that may require grinding. Once grinding is complete, touch up the paint.
Note
Be careful grinding an inset transition as the material is only 1/8” thick and can be burnt through easily.
Step 7: Remove hood to check roller alignment.
Remove the 3 bolts on each side that hold the hood in place, and then roll the hood and downspout if installed
down and out of the handle. Set aside for now.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 8: Ensure the drive roller is straight & centered
in the adjustment slots.
a) Verify the edge of the adjustment plate is set to
7/8” from the end of the conveyor on both sides.
b) If adjustment is needed, loosen the two nuts
indicated & use the adjustment bolt (shown in
green) to center the plate.
*Remember to re-tighten the nuts after adjustments
are made.

INSTRUCTIONS

a) Verify the edge of the adjustment plate is set to 5-
3/16” from the end of the conveyor on both sides.
b) If adjustment is needed, loosen the two nuts
indicated & use the adjustment bolt (shown in
green) to achieve the measurement shown above.
*Remember to re-tighten the nuts after adjustments
are made.
Step 9: Ensure the snub roller is straight and centered
in the adjustment slots.
