shipping purposes.
Attach Shelf on the outfeed side of the Sorter by inserting holes on shelf onto
pins and pushing down on shelf to wedge in place.

will allow Slide-Outs to be adjustable.
Once initial assembly is complete, inspect the M9 Sorter to confirm that it is
ready to operate:
Confirm the power cord is in good condition.
Ensure the sorter belts are placed properly within pulley grooves.
Ensure rear tailgate is properly closed.
Ensure casters are in the locked position.
Attach Slide-Outs to desired distance for sorting into totes.
Ensure polycarbonate end covers are in place and safety sensors activated.

Remove the overflow shelf and side panels.
Locate the belt tensioner on the infeed side of the M9.

Close up the tailgate, and replace the side panels and overflow shelf.
Both rollers on the outfeed side and the top roller on the infeed side can be
removed by simply sliding them out of their cradling brackets.
The bottom (drive) roller on the infeed side is secured in place with a locating
pin. Pull up on the pin to release the roller and pull it out of its cradling bracket.
To reinstall a belt, start by working it onto each of the four rollers, aligning it
into the same channel on each roller.
Once all of the rollers and belts are in place, pull the adjustment plunger and
lower the tension assembly to the desired position.
To reinstall the rollers and belts, simply reverse the process: Start with the
belt-tensioning assembly set to the highest position so that you have maximum
slack to work with. Reposition the four rollers, ensuring the flat part of each
shaft sits flush against the bracket and the locating pin on the drive roller is
secured in its place.
Working through the openings on the two ends and tailgate, pull a belt away
from the rollers and out of the machine. As necessary, proceed with removing
some or all of the belts in the same manner. Note: Removing the rollers can
be done with or without the belts in place. As long as there isn’t any tension
on the belts, it’s easy to work around them.

Preventative Maintenance
Engage the E-Stop and disconnect the power cord.

avoid buildup of resin on these parts. This cleaning process should take place
at the end of each session or more frequently, depending on the operating

the machine, pulleys, belts, Slide-Outs, etc. The belt and pulley assemblies
can also be removed for a more thorough cleaning process.
Spritz body (interior and exterior) and any removed parts with degreaser,
allowing time for the degreaser to sit on surfaces and penetrate any soils.
Use a cloth to remove any stubborn soils. Rinse thoroughly (pressure washer
ok) with warm or hot water (maximum 55oC/130oF) and allow to dry. Apply a
sanitizer if necessary as part of your sanitation SOP.
Reinstall the pulley assemblies (if removed), belts (if removed), Slide-Outs (if
