Pre-Operation Check List
1. Check all bearings for proper lubrication.
2. Check the tube for foreign material.
3. Check all belts for proper tension.
4. Start unit and check conveyor belt alignment while unit is empty.
BELT CARE ………
It is suggested that the unit be run every two to three days or more often if possible. This tends to
keep the conveyor belt alive and stops any forming of the belt to the curvature of the tube while the
unit is not in use.
NOTE: Belt may deteriorate if not in use and exposed to weather conditions for any prolonged
period of time.
Operation Sequence
1. Check wheels to prevent movement during operation.
2. Check all drive belts for proper tension.
3. Make sure conveyor belt is properly tensioned.
4. Allow unit to run empty for a few minutes to flex conveyor belt.
5. Check conveyor belt for proper alignment.
6. Charge conveyor unit as evenly as possible. DO NOT bury intake end in material.
7. Before shutting power off, be certain unit is empty.
PTO DRIVE OPERATION ………
While operating, keep PTO shaft as straight as possible. Prolonged operation with the PTO
shaft at an angle in excess of 15 degrees will reduce U-joint life. DO NOT extend PTO shaft
beyond 80" end to end.
OPERATION WITH ACCESSORIES ………
If the BeltVeyor is used with a self-powered undercar conveyor, start the BeltVeyor first and
the undercar conveyor second. Reverse this procedure for shutdown.
TOWING ………
The BeltVeyor tubular conveyor is designed for maximum portability. Observe the following
towing instructions for both safety and care of the unit.
1. Lower the unit to the extreme down position with slight tension on the cable.
2. Deflate tires to approximately 22 pounds.
3. Make certain the hitch is secure.
4. Be sure to follow normal towing safety precautions.
STORAGE ………
Temporary Storage
1. Relieve tension from all belts; both v-belts and conveyor belt.
2. Store all belt equipment in a dry place. If equipment cannot be stored out of the weather,
cover electrical and mechanical parts with waterproof material.
Prolonged Storage
1. Remove all belts and store in a cool, dark, dry place.
2. Wash conveyor belt thoroughly.
3. Wash conveyor tube both inside and out.
4. Lubricate all bearings.
5. Lower unit to the extreme down position with slight tension on the winch cable.
6. Store all equipment in a dry shelter.

5
Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is the key to the long life of any mechanical device.
Careful and systematic inspection of all BeltVeyor equipment will result in maximum, trouble-free
service.
BELT REPLACEMENT ………
To replace the belt, cut it into and hand rotate the drive pulley until belt has been removed. Install
appropriate belt as outlined in assembly instructions.
DRIVE ASSEMBLY TAKE-UP ………
After extended use, the conveyor belt may stretch to the point that there is not sufficient take-up
in the drive assembly to tighten it. Obtain additional take-up by cutting a 6" to 8" section from the
belt. A new splice lacing may be ordered from your CrustBuster/Speed King distributor or from the
factory.
PERIODIC CLEAN-OUT ………
Due to the characteristics of certain materials, residue sometimes collects between the conveyor
belt and the tube. Check the unit periodically for any material build up in this area. If residue
appears excessive, remove the conveyor belt and thoroughly wash the belt and tube. Allow belt
and tube to dry before reinstalling the belt.
When conveyor is not being used, secure belt to the tube to prevent belt from flopping in the wind,
possibly breaking return idlers or ripping belt.
LUBRICATION ………
All bearing which are fitted with grease zerks should be lubricated at the conclusion of each
operating day. Before greasing the bearings, make certain the zerks are free of dirt, otherwise this
will be passed into the bearing race. If the unit will be out of service for a period of time, purge the
bearings.
Electric motor should be oiled in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.
Roller chains should be oiled with a light weight oil at the conclusion of each days' operation.
Keep PTO shaft and tube well greased so they move freely.
CONVEYOR BELT TRAINING PROCEDURE ………
A conveyor belt correctly installed and trained will run straight and true. The belt must run centered
on all terminal pulleys, take-up pulleys, and return idlers throughout the entire belt length.
Incorrect installation and training can result in severe edge damage, material spillage, material
leakage through the skirt rubber at the loading point, and excessive power demands. Material
spillage is the usual reason for belt carcass ruptures and pulley cover gouging and stripping, while
leakage at the skirt rubber results in excessive conveyor cover wear under the skirts.
ALIGNMENT ………
All rotating parts -head pulleys, tail pulleys, take-up pulleys, and return idlers- must be at a 90
degree angle to the direction of belt travel, must be level, and the midpoint of each centered on a
line when properly aligned.
Alignment is checked by running a tight wire from the center of the head pulley to the center of the
tail pulley.
Center all other rotating parts on the wire.
Level all rotating parts. If a part is not level, the belt will run to the lower side.
Check that all parts are at a 90°or right angle to the wire. If a part is not at 90°to the center line,
the belt will run to the side that if first contacts.
BELT SPLICING ………
A conveyor belt must not run out at the splice area. Runout will occur if the splice is not in
alignment or correctly made.

6
Operation
1. Prior to the start-up, check to see that belt is free from any objects that would bind or tear.
2. On starting for the first time, with no load on belt, apply power for a few seconds only to see
that the conveyor belt travels in the proper direction, and is well centered in the tube and on
the return.
3. It should be noted at this time that too much tension on the conveyor belt will make adjustment
or training much more difficult, shorten the life of the belt, and waste power. The belt should
be tensioned tight enough so the drive pulley does not slip.
BELT TRAINING ………
It is essential that the conveyor belt be properly trained at all times. For this reason, all rotating
parts should always be at right angles to the conveyor belt to avoid run-off at the tail pulley.
Slight adjustment of pulley shafts may be required to keep belts centered on them i.e., if the belt
runs to one side of the pulley - apply more tension to this side of the belt by advancing the pulley
shaft on this side.
If the belt tends to veer to one side of the return strand, the belt can be centered by "knocking"
ahead (in the direction of belt travel) the end of the return idler to which the belt runs. A belt
correctly installed will usually train well both empty and loaded, except as noted:
1. One or more rotating parts not in alignment.
2. Belt tensions in some part of system (usually at tail section) are below minimum
recommended.
3. Belt not loaded centrally.
When a belt is initially started, it should be jogged around the system to determine if a major runout
occurs which could damage belt and belt edges. If runout occurs at some point of the system, the
reason is usually a return idler or pulley out of alignment before the runout. Alignment should be
rechecked before restarting.
After the belt can be safely run without damage, final training should begin with the tail pulley. The
belt must enter the tail pulley and loading section in the center without movement from side to side.
If the belt is not centered on the tail pulley, the return strand of belt should be observed for any
section which is not centered on the return idlers. If the belt is not centered at some point, move
return idlers starting before this point to correct centering of belt. Movement of idler bracket should
be gradual and only 1/16" to 1/8" remembering that the belt will move in the direction that it first
contacts the idler. The same corrective action should be taken at the head pulley.
After the belt is trained empty, the belt should be trained with a load. The take-up adjustments are
made to prevent belt slip and keep tensions at all points above minimums recommended when belt
is operating with a load.
If slip occurs under load, additional belt tension should be adjusting the take-up only enough to
prevent slip from occurring under load, and when started with a load.
NOTE: Take-up movement must always be at 90°or at a right angle to the direction of belt
travel, or the belt will move out of alignment.
Check periodically to see that no material has built up on pulley faces (between pulley
and belt), idlers, chutes, or in grooves or v-belt sheaves. Remove all rust or foreign
material on take-up screws.
Maintain proper clearance and adjustment on items such as rubber sealing strips.
