MACHINE OPERATION
The model 1275 Telescoping Belly Dump Conveyor has been designed to be used to
unload hopper bottom trailers, in the most efficient manner to maintain integrity and
structure of product being hauled.
All controls are located on right side of conveyor and should be operated by a
single operator, standing by side of conveyor.
Operation Instructions
To start unloading product:
1. Turn main power switch to ON position.
2. Turn power switch marked “Hydraulics” to ON position.
3. Maneuver conveyor, using hydraulic handles marked “Wheel Drive” so it is at
right angles to trailer and in line with belly dump doors.
4. Using Hydraulic handles marked “Conveyor Lift and Conveyor telescope”
position the conveyor hopper under belly dump doors. Keep hopper as close
to bottom of trailer as possible to minimize drop of product.
5. This machine may be equipped with Hand or Auto option.
When selection switches are in Auto position machine will turn off and
on with system it is integrated with. When selection switches are in hand
position, each function can be operated independently from rest of
machine. For machine to work in Auto mode Interlock Switch must be in
ON position.
If model 1275 Telescoping Belly Dump Conveyor is in need of service please contact
your nearest service center.

LUBRICATION
•The hydraulic system used to power belt drive and auxiliary functions uses dexron III
E ATF (automatic transmission fluid) for prime mover. Hydraulic reservoir fill level
should be checked at start of each season, and filled as needed. Hydraulic oil reservoir
has a 5-gallon capacity.
•ATF in hydraulic system should be drained and changed every 1000 hours of machine
operation.
•All bearings are of sealed type and are pre lubricated by manufacturer. Bearings will
only need to be greased at start of season. Over greasing sealed bearings will result in
seal being broken and rapid failure of bearing. If seal is broken, bearing should be
greased daily until replaced. One pump of grease at start of season is sufficient.
•All wheel bearings and wheel hubs should be greased and packed at least once a
year.

MAINTENANCE
•Replace damaged or missing drive shields and safety labels at start of every season.
•Proper belt alignment and tension are key to long belt life.
•Belts should be kept in alignment between conveyor shell, alignment should be an
even distance between belt and conveyor shell on each side.
BELT ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
Belt runs to loose side (narrowest space between belt and side)
Tighten loose side as necessary or loosen other side as necessary.
Belt tension must be great enough to prevent slippage between drive pulley and
belt.
•Change hydraulic oil filter every 300 hours of machine operation.
•Keep tires inflated correctly.
•Check hinge points and pivot bolts every 100 hours of machine operation for fatigue
and excessive wear. Replace as needed to avoid personal injury.
•All hydraulic fittings should be checked weekly for leaks and replaced or tightened as
necessary.
