Danger
BE ALERT! YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY IS INVOLVED.
ALWAYS PARK TENDER ON LEVEL SURFACE TO UNLOAD.
Before releasing safety strap that secures tube assembly, make
sure tender is sitting on a level surface.
If parked on an unlevel surface, and the tube assembly is not
restrained, it could swing rapidly and out of control to one side or
the other.
The rope attached to the tube is to assist in guiding the tube. If
tube is swinging out of control, the rope may not control the tube.
If parked on an unlevel surface with the spout side down, (See
illustration A)the tube could rapidly swing out.
5

If parked on an unlevel surface with the spout
side up, (See illustration B)the tube will rapidly
swing to one end or the other depending on
which side the gravity pulls it. This could be
very hazardous for anyone standing in its path.
Be very cautious of situation.
If parked on an unlevel surface with the spout
side up, (See illustration C)the tube could
rapidly swing from one end to the other.
This could be very hazardous for anyone
standing in its path. Be very cautious of this
situation. This could also cause damage to the
tube assembly.

FUEL VALVE
When engine is not in use, leave the fuel
valve lever in the OFF position to prevent
- carburetor flooding
- fuel in the oil crank case because of
transporting vibrations
- the possibility of fuel leakage.
See engine owner’s manual to help you avoid
other damage to your engine.
CAUTION
NOTE: CrustBuster recommends fuel
valve be shut off and the motor
run completely out of fuel before
transporting.

BELT TIGHTENING
INSTRUCTIONS
Belt should be tightened before
you train the belt. Tightening the
belt is done on the head roller by
tightening the take up bars
evenly. Belt is tight when
applying 25 lbs. of force,
centered between the return
rollers, there is no more than 2
inches of deflection.
BELT ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
At the start point, see view of head and tail assembly.
Drop belt over the top of head roller and gravity feed belt
down the tender tube to the bottom. Guide the belt over
the top of the tail roller. Make sure rough side is UP and
the smooth side is DOWN against the inside of wall of the
tube.
Route both ends around head and tail rollers and over all
return idlers mounted under the tube. Slide belt forward
or back through tube so the ends of the belt meet at a
convenient location between return idlers to facilitate
joining.
Align and interlace belt and clipper lacings. Slip splice pin
(Plastic covered cable) through clipper lacings to secure.
Belt Assembly

Pre-Operation Check List
1. Check all bearings for proper lubrication.
2. Check the tube for foreign material.
3. Check belt for proper tension.
4. Start unit and check tender 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 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 drive chain for proper tension.
2. Make sure tender belt is properly tensioned.
3. Allow unit to run empty for a few minutes to flex tender belt.
4. Check tender belt for proper alignment.
5. Before shutting power off, be certain head and tail unit is empty.
STORAGE ………
Temporary Storage
1. Relieve tension on tender belt.
2. Store all belt equipment in a dry place. If equipment cannot be stored out of the weather,
cover engine and mechanical parts with waterproof material.
Prolonged Storage
1. Remove all belts and store in a cool, dark, dry place.
2. Wash tender belt thoroughly.
3. Wash tender tube both inside and out.
4. Lubricate all bearings.
5. Store in a dry shelter.
Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is the key to the long life of any mechanical device.
Careful and systematic inspection of the Seed Tender will result in maximum, trouble-free service.
BELT REPLACEMENT ………
To replace the belt, cut it into and hand rotate the head roller until belt has been removed. Install
appropriate belt as outlined in assembly instructions.
HEAD ASSEMBLY TAKE-UP ………
After extended use, the tender belt may stretch to the point that there is not sufficient take-up in
the head 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 tender belt
and the tube. Check the unit periodically for any material build up in this area. If residue appears
excessive, remove the tender belt and thoroughly wash the belt and tube. Allow belt and tube to
dry before reinstalling the belt.
When the tender 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 bearings 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.
BELT TRAINING PROCEDURE ………
A tender belt correctly installed and trained will run straight and true. The belt must run centered
on all terminal rollers, take-up rollers, 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.
13

Maintenance - (cont’d)
ALIGNMENT ………
All rotating parts -head roller, tail roller, 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 head roller to center of the tail roller.
Level all rotating parts. If a part is not level, the belt will run to the lower side.
BELT SPLICING ………
A belt must not run out at the splice area. Runout will occur if the belt is not cut square or splice
is not installed square.
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 tender belt is well centered in the tube and on the return.
3. It should be noted at this time that too much tension on the tender 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 roller does not slip. The belt is tight when applying 25
pounds of force, centered between the return rollers, there is no more than 2 inches of
deflection.
BELT TRAINING ………
It is essential that the tender belt be properly trained at all times. For this reason, all rotating parts
should always be at right angles to the tender belt.
Slight adjustment of roller shafts may be required to keep belts centered on them i.e., if the belt
runs to one side of the roller - apply more tension to this side of the belt by advancing the roller
shaft on this side. This can be done on the head section as long as adjustment bolt does not vary
more than 1/4". If it does, and belt will still not center on both rollers, the tail section is probably out
of square.
To square tail section roller, even out the head roller until adjustment bolts are equal. On tail
section, loosen bearing bolts on opposite side the belt is off. CAUTION: LOOSEN BEARING
BOLTS JUST ENOUGH SO IT TAKES A BLOCK OF WOOD AND A SMALL HAMMER TO MOVE
THE BEARING. To adjust tail section, 1/32" in most cases, will move the belt. Tail roller bearings
only have about a 1/16" to 3/32" movement total. Tighten the bearing, and go to the head section
and retrain the belt.
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 roller 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 head roller.
The belt must enter the head roller 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 tail roller.
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.
