ASSEMBLY
1. Install 2 swivel casters on each of the leg assemblies (Fig 1 item A). Secure casters with hex nuts.
2. To pre-adjust leg assemblies to proper length, measure the distance from the oor, to the exit surface of the delivery
device (i.e. printer). Loosen the black hand wheels (Fig 1 item B) and adjust leg assembly until overall length,
including casters, is about 7 inches less than the measurement you just obtained. Tighten hand wheels and repeat
procedure for other leg assembly.
3. With conveyor laying upside down, install leg assembly. Install two Allen screws to the outer edge of the conveyor
(Fig 2 item C) do not tighten all the way, leave enough space to slide the keyhole, in the top of the leg assembly,
into position (Fig 3 item D). Insert two screws into the two remaining holes, tighten when all screws are in position
(Fig 4). Allen screws are provided in accessory bag.
Assembly Tip (Fig 4): If you have trouble aligning the screw holes in the leg assemblies with the conveyor holes;
loosen the 10 Phillips head screws that secure the bottom plate (Fig 4), to allow the conveyor side frames to ex.
When nished securing leg assemblies to conveyor, be sure to re-tighten these 10 Phillips head screws.
4. With the legs securely fastened, carefully turn conveyor upright. Note: If conveyor operation direction needs to be
changed, do so before turning upright - see Control Panel Module Optional Adjustment Pg 3.
CAUTION! Two (2) people are required for lifting and turning conveyor.
To help align holes, when attaching leg
assemblies, loosen screws that secure
bottom plate.

Control Panel Module (Optional adjustment)
If the direction of conveyor needs to be changed, a simple adjustment to the control panel module can be made while
the conveyor is in the upside down position.
1. Remove the four Phillips head screws that hold the control panel module in place (Fig 5 items A).
2. Rotate the control panel 180 degrees counterclockwise and reattach with the four screws. No electrical connection
adjustments are needed.
3. With the legs securely fastened and control panel module mounted properly, carefully turn conveyor upright.
CAUTION! Two (2) people are required for lifting and turning conveyor.

4. CAUTION! This adjustment is necessary to avoid belt damage and eliminate a potential pinch point for safety.
Insert supplied card stock spacer (Fig 8a item A) between the belt and the out-feed bracket to set the spacing
between the bracket and the belt. Move the bracket in or out until a slight drag is felt on the card stock (Fig 8b
item B) and then tighten mounting screws (Fig 8c) . Remove card stock spacer and rotate belt and roller by hand
(Fig 8d) to ensure clearance at all points on the roller and belt. Readjust if belt contacts bracket.
