3. SAFETY
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY ADVICE IN THIS
MANUAL COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Do Not Operate The Conveyor Unless You:
1. Have read and understand the principles relating to the
safe operation of your conveyor contained in this
manual.
2. Avoid hazardous situations.
3. Always check the conveyor/s before every use.
4. Inspect the workplace for hazards.
5. Only use the conveyor for the purpose it is intended.
6. Are properly trained to safely operate the conveyor.
HAZARDS –Set-up
Make sure that the work area is free of any overhead obstructions and any other
hazards such as unstable ground or other work activities taking place.
Do not use the conveyor if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs or
prescribed medication that may affect your judgement.
Assess suitability of the ground surface condition prior to conveyor set-up.
Ensure the conveyor is adequately supported and wheels are braked/chocked
before use.
Do not alter or disable the conveyor components with items that in any way affect
safety and stability.
Do not ride on the belt.
Do not operate in high winds or adverse weather conditions
Inspect the undercarriage wheels to ensure the tyres are in good condition.
Do not alter or disable the control box, motor, power leads or plugs without prior
consultation with the manufacturer.
HAZARDS - Electrocution

4. PRE-START CHECKS & INSPECTION
It is the responsibility of the operator to visually check the conveyor and surrounding area
before starting the conveyor. This should be carried out before each work shift.
A damaged or modified conveyor should never be used. If any damage or modification is
found, the conveyor should be disconnected from the power, tagged and removed from
service.
The following components or areas should be inspected for damage, modifications and
improperly installed or missing parts:
1. Electrical Components.
2. Wiring.
3. Power Sockets.
4. Motor and Gearbox.
5. Conveyor Frame.
6. Conveyor Feed Hopper.
7. Belt Condition.
9. Any hoarding to protect public areas.
10. Conveyor Wheeled Undercarriage or Supports.
The following components should be checked for
operational functionality:
1. Belt tension & tracking.
2. If a plough belt scraper is fitted, check it is making adequate contact with the
belt.
3. Emergency Stops are operating.
The following areas should be checked for cleanliness:
1. Material jammed between belt & conveyor frame.
2. Build up on slider beds.
3. Area under and adjacent to the loading/tail section.
4. If the conveyor is on a scaffold –ensure the area underneath the conveyor is
clear of any debris.

9
Do not operate the conveyor unless you have read and understood the instructions.
The operating instructions section provides instructions for the safe use of the conveyor. It
is the responsibility of the operator to follow all the safety rules and instruction provided in
this manual.
Only trained personnel should use the conveyor.
1. Fit the hopper to the loading end of the
conveyor. Align the locating posts and
secure the hopper to the conveyor by
means of the two over-centre catches.
2 Lift the loading end of the conveyor using the two carrying
handles and position the wheeled undercarriage in the centre of
the conveyor.
3. Secure in place tightening the
four over-centre catches.
4. Wheel the conveyor in to place using the handles at the top of the conveyor. If lifting of
the conveyor is required, make sure this is carried out using proper manual handling
procedures.
5. Subject to what voltage you are running on and the power supply, it is possible to run a
number of conveyors linked together.
When using more than one conveyor, setup the first conveyor and work forwards. When
you are happy with the placement, link the conveyors with the appropriate power leads.

5. CONDITIONS OF USE
Electrical Supply
●A constant 110v supply is critical for operation
●If operating from a generator ensure that this is rated at 10KVA or if using a
transformer use minimum 5KVA

Range of Intended Environmental Conditions:
Do not use the conveyor outside the following environmental conditions:
●Ambient temperature: -10°c -+40°c
●Wind Speeds: 0 –50MPH
Prohibited Applications
Do not use the conveyor if any part is:
●Submerged in water.
●In an explosive atmosphere.
●In a corrosive atmosphere or environment.

6. FUNCTIONALITY CHECKS
Red Stop Button Emergency Stop Green Start Button
Emergency Stop
1. Press the green start button –the belt should move forwards
2. Press the emergency stop button –the belt should stop straightaway
3. Twist the Emergency Stop Button to reset
Stop/Start
4. Press the green start button –the belt should move forwards
5. Press the red stop button –the belt should stop straightaway
Voltmeter
If your conveyor is supplied with a Voltmeter, once power supply is connected the
screen will display what your supply voltage is.
IF THE CONVEYOR FAILS ANY OF THESE TESTS, IT SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT OF
SERVICE AND REPAIRED.

7. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Start Up Procedure
1. Connect power lead to Control Box.
2. Switch on Power supply.
3. Check that the discharge area is clear.
4. Ensure nothing is leaning on the conveyor or likely to interfere with the belt
running.
5. Give audible warning and press the green start button on the Control Box.
6. Test emergency stop button by pressing/pulling it and checking belt stops.
Release button and begin operation.
Loading Methods
The conveyor must only be loaded at the hopper or at designated loading points.
Loading must only commence once conveyor has been started.
The conveyor must be loaded evenly and smoothly
Remember you are feeding a moving belt, so feed accordingly and the conveyor will
work well.
Ineffective loading or overloading can cause material to spill off the sides of the
conveyor and build up around the conveyor. This can in turn get into the conveyor
frame and jam the conveyor or damage the bearings.
When loading steeper conveyors some rollback will occur. Care must be taken to
ensure injury cannot be caused to the operator or others by large lumps coming back
down the belt. One way to reduce this risk to fit baffles above the belt to break the
fall of rolling back lumps.
If using a machine to load the conveyor ensure that it has a bucket with a maximum
width of 450mm.
Stopping Procedure
1. Ensure belt is emptied, except in emergency stop conditions.
2. Press the red stop button.
3. Power down the Control Box and remove the power lead.
OVERLOADING WILL INEVITABLY CAUSE
JAMMING AND BREAKDOWNS, THEREFORE
CAUSING DOWNTIME ON SITE.

8. MAINTENANCE CHECKS
Belt Tension and Tracking:
Maintaining the proper belt tension is an important part in keeping your conveyor
performing well and minimises the likelihood of breakdown. Operating the conveyor
with an improper belt tension can cause damage to conveyor components.
The only tool required for tensioning and tracking is a 19mm socket.
Check Belt Tension Whilst Power Is Off.
1. The belt will only need to be tensioned if it is slipping under load.
2. At the Tail end of the conveyor, tighten the two 12mm stud bolts holding the
tail drum to increase tension.
3. Apply tension evenly to each side.
4. Turn on conveyor and repeat the process until the belt stops slipping.
5. Observe the belt tracking.
6. Tracking at the Head of the conveyor is corrected via 1 x M12 Bolt on the
Head end of the conveyor.
7. Tracking at the Tail of the conveyor can be corrected via the M12 stud bolts
used for belt tensioning.
Check Belt Slider Bed Condition:
Ensuring no muck or debris is built up on or around the slider bed is essential to ensure good
performance and service life.
Check belt slider bed whilst power is off.
1. Lift belt at base and top of conveyor.
2. Inspect the condition of slider bed.
3. Move along the conveyor checking the bed is free of debris or build up.

14
9. TRANSPORTATION
Each Invader conveyor has forklift holes to facilitate safe lifting with forklift truck.
Ensure transport vehicles are parked on a level surface.
Remove wheeled undercarriage and feed hopper and transport these separately.
SECURING THE CONVEYOR FOR TRANSPORT:
Conveyors are stackable and have locating points at
each end of the conveyor.
Inspect the conveyor for loose or unsecured items
prior to stacking.
ENSURE STRAPS ARE NOT OVER TIGHTENED
Excessive tensioning of straps will cause damage to the conveyors.
