• All electrical equipment must be connected by a qualified electrician.
See separate connecting directions for electronics.
• The power switch must be permanently mounted and located to allow
easy access when performing maintenance work.
• Fit inlet cable-operated emergency stop according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Cable-operated emergency stop is a
requirement for CE certification of the machine if it is accessible
during operation.
• Make sure the speed monitor is engaged during operation.
!
IMPORTANT!
• Make sure the motor protection is set to the correct ampere setting for
the motor.
Maintenance
Inadequate maintenance may lead to personal injury or damage to the
conveyor equipment and/or other equipment. It can also cause malfunctions
or a reduction in capacity.

Note! Bolts for assembly are included in a bag attached to a joint plate for
each intermediate section and for the drive end.
2.
!
IMPORTANT!
On delivery, carrying idlers and plow scraper in tail end and carrying
idler and snub idler in drive end are secured with straps. Make sure that
the straps are removed.
Assemble return idlers and carrying idlers in the intermediate sections. Insert
return idlers (A). Fold out the holders (B) and insert carrying idlers (C). Push
back the holders so that they do not t loosely. Tighten the bolts (D).
The conveyor can be assembled directly in place in the installation or
separately and then lifted in place. The design and space requirements of
the installation and the length of the conveyor will determine which method is
most suitable.
!
IMPORTANT!
• Make sure that the machine is situated correctly in relation to the
planned connections.
• The conveyor length must not exceed 14 meters (45.9 ft) if being
lifted after assembly. Its weight must be distributed over several lifting
points. The distance between the lifting points must be a maximum of
12 meters (39.4 ft).
•The maximum span between supports for a standard conveyor is 6
meters (19.7 ft).

•Make sure that the intermediate sections are aligned so that the arrows on the
holders for the carrying idlers (B) are aligned in the direction of travel of the conveyor.
• Make sure that machine parts are assembled in a straight line and are not twisted.
• Make sure that if the machine is long enough to need a tracking idler set, 20 meters
(65.6 ft) or longer, the first section with a tracking idler set must be assembled directly
to the tail end and additional tracking idler sets attached every 20 meters (65.6 ft)
after that.

!
IMPORTANT!
Push the tail pulley in the direction of the drive end before the conveyor
belt ends are vulcanized together. On delivery, the tail pulley is placed
in nominal position and this should be the tail pulley position to aim for
when the correct tension of the conveyor belt is achieved for the rst
time. Make sure that the tail pulley nominal position is marked before
the tail pulley is moved.
Note! Assemble the discharge tripper (xings) before assembling the conveyor
belt. See the separate assembly instructions for the discharge tripper. Then
return to these assembly instructions for the remaining instructions.
6.
!
IMPORTANT!
• Make sure that the side of the conveyor belt with thickest cover plates
(H) is facing outward.
• Make sure that the conveyor belt is properly tensioned after the
conveyor belt ends have been vulcanized together and the tail pulley is
backed up in its nominal position; see picture/table for the respective
tail end types.
• Make sure that the tail pulley shaft is perpendicular to the conveyor
belt.
• Vulcanization of conveyor belts should be done by a professional
vulcanizer.
Pull the conveyor belt into the machine, vulcanize the ends together and
tighten correctly.

Basic setting for carrying idlers and return idlers
On delivery, the carrying idlers (L) are forward-angled "knocked" about 1.5 degrees in the conveying
direction to center the conveyor belt on the carrying idlers during operation. The idlers can be angled
less and more for further ne tuning.Note! The angle can be a maximum of 3 degrees.
On delivery, the nominal position of the return idler (M) brackets are marked with a scribe line; see
illustration on the following page.

Adjustments of carrying idlers for conveying in both directions
!
WARNING!
Pinch guard (N) is required on both sides of return idler (M) and snub idler (O) when
conveying in both directions.
!
IMPORTANT!
• When conveying in both directions, the carrying idlers must be repositioned before
the conveyor belt is installed. See instructions below.
• When conveying in both directions, remove the plow scraper in the tail end.
• When conveying in both directions, more frequent checks of the belt steering are
required.
When the conveyor belt is to be driven in both directions, all carrying idlers except the pair
closest to the drive section must be adjusted as shown. The pair closest to the tail end
should be angled -1.5 degrees and the pairs between those closest to the tail end and
drive end should be neutral without angle.
