- it is only permitted to raise the drive shaft for the new generation SEH.
- it is only permitted to lower the tail end shaft in the elevator boot for SE.
NB! SEH 63/33 has tensioning bolts in the elevator boot only..
Example of elevator head:
Applies to SE, SEI and SEH apart from SEH 63/33 and the new generation SEH: Undo bolts (A)
in the left-hand bearing if the bucket belt is running to the right of the slatted pulley in the elevator
head. Lower the slatted pulley (B) by reducing the tension of the adjusting bolt/bolts (C) until the
bucket belt runs in the centre. Retighten the bolts in the bearing.
Applies to the new generation SEH:
If the bucket belt runs to the right of the drive wheel in the elevator head, loosen (not fully) the
bolts (A=4 pcs) and (B=6 pcs) on the right-hand side plate. Raise the drive wheel by tightening the
tensioning screws (C) using a socket wrench with extension (D) until the bucket belt runs centrally.
Retighten the bolts (A=4 pcs) and (B=6 pcs).
Example of elevator boot:
Applies to SE: Undo bolts (D) in the left-hand bearing if the bucket belt is running to the right of
the slatted pulley in the elevator boot. Raise the slatted pulley (E) by reducing the tension of the
adjusting bolt (F) until the bucket belt runs in the centre. Retighten the bolts in the bearing.
Applies to SEI, SEH and the new generation SEH: If the bucket belt is running to the right on

Troubleshooting
Poor capacity/stop
All the machines in the conveyor system must be correctly adapted to each
other in order to provide the correct capacity for the given conditions.
Problems with capacity and stops can arise for different reasons:
General
Check:
• that capacity demands are realistic for the conditions in question. Capacity
will be reduced if the water content in the grain is increased/raised. Reckon
on a loss of capacity in the range 3-4% for every 1% water content above
15%. Especially installations with short trenches (2.5-4.5 m) will have
problems if the water content is high.
• that connections between machines are carried out correctly. See the
assembly instructions for respective machine.
• that the inlet is correctly assembled. See the assembly instructions for
respective machine.
• that the ducting is sufficiently dimensioned. Ø160 mm for 30 t/h, Ø200
mm for 40 and 60 t/h, Ø250 mm for 80 and 100 t/h and Ø300 mm for
120 and 150 t/h.
• that the ducting is sufficiently inclined, greater than 45°.
• that the machines and connections are free from waste.
• that the machines work at the correct speed in relation to the intended
capacity. See the section "Technical specifications".
• that the electrician has connected the motors to the correct voltage and
that the motor protection is set to the right values.
• that the machine feed rate is not too high. See the section "Technical
specifications".
If the elevator is first in a chain of conveyors, fit and use inlet slide. See
assembly instructions for the elevator. NB! An ammeter on the elevator
leg by the slide regulator simplifies setting the inlet slide to the desired
capacity.
!
IMPORTANT!
If an operation stoppage is due to overfeeding, the elevator boot must be
cleared of grain before the elevator can be restarted.
• that the bucket belt is tensioned correctly. See the maintenance
instructions.
• that the inlet slide mounted on the ascending leg side can be opened fully.
See assembly instructions for the elevator.
• that the elevator boot is free from grain from previous seasons. It may start
to grow and hinder the input feeding.
• that the connecting channel and the elevator inlet for an elevator mounted
in an elevator trench are the same size and that the angle of inclination is
at least 45°.

15
SKANDIA ELEVATOR
If the material goes in reverse
Check:
• that the subsequent connection/machine is able to receive the capacity
from the feeding elevator. See the section "Technical specifications".
• the position of the splash guard in the elevator head outlet. The distance to
the bucket mounted immediately after the belt tensioner should be 10 mm.
If the elevator stops unloaded
Check:
• that the speed monitor is correctly set or the power will be cut immediately
after the elevator is started. Contact your supplier for help.

16 SKANDIA ELEVATOR
Motor stoppage
If the elevator is rst in a chain of conveyors, t and use inlet slide. See
assembly instructions for the elevator.
If the motor stops:
1. check the cause of the stoppage. See the previous troubleshooting
directions concerning this.
2. cut the power and clear away any blockages.
!
IMPORTANT!
Do not try to remove a blockage by repeatedly attempting to restart.
3. check with the electrician that the motor has been connected to the correct
voltage and that the motor protection is set to the right value.
2-3 way valve leaking
Valve is set correctly on delivery. If the setting has changed after delivery, it
could cause leakage. Renew the setting in accordance with the instructions
in the separate accessory assembly instructions, Replace actuator, which are
available for download on the Skandia Elevator website.
