working must be observed!
Observe the adjustment, maintenance and inspection activities and intervals specified in this operat-
ing manual, including details concerning the replacement of parts, subassemblies and equipment. These
activities may only be executed by trained personnel.
Instruct operating personnel before beginning special operations and maintenance work! Delegate a
supervisor!
Always observe the relevant safety measures and instructions specified in the operating manual when
carrying work related to the operation, adaptation, conversion or adjustment of the machine as well as
maintenance, inspection and repair activities.
Ensure the working area is adequately secured during the maintenance work!
Use suitable, tested tools when working on the machine, only use proper tools for unscrewing and
tightening screwed connections. Wear gloves!
Switch off the machine completely before maintenance and repair work and ensure that it is secured
against inadvertent starting. The machine must not be switched on again while the work is being carried
out!
-Switch off operating facilities.
-In the case of tractors, self-propelled harvesting machines and engine-driven machines, switch off the
engine, remove the ignition key and, if necessary, lock the cabin. Nobody is allowed to be within reach
of the controls so that functions cannot be switched on again by accident.
-Switch off the main switch and attach a warning sign, if necessary.
-Disconnect the machine from the power supply, Depressurize the hydraulic system and compressed air
lines and disconnect them from the supply.
Carry out maintenance and repair work only when the machine is positioned on firm and level ground
and has been secured against inadvertent movement and toppling.
When replacing individual parts and larger subassemblies, they should be carefully attached to lifting
gear and secured against falling down. To avoid the risk of accidents, sharp edges, corners and danger-
ous projections must be covered and a warning sign attached. Use only suitable hoisting and lifting gear
with adequate load capacity which is in a proper working condition. Never work or stand under sus-
pended loads!
The securing of loads and the instruction of crane operators should only be entrusted to experienced
persons. A signaler giving instructions must be within sight of the crane operator and must be provided
with a radio link.
Only carry out overhead assembly work using suitable ladders and platforms. Never climb on the ma-
chine itself! Wear a safety harness when carrying out maintenance work at greater heights.

Special safety instructions
Safety devices
Adjustment and maintenance work on suspended parts of the machine may only be
carried out with the safety devices engaged.
Never stand beneath suspended loads!
Never stand or work beneath suspended loads!
Engage safety catches!
 Disconnect electrical power to machine whenever maintaining, repairing, or servicing conveyor.
 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 side, alignment should be an even distance
between belt and conveyor side 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.
 Keep tires inflated correctly. Between 55 and 60 PSI.
 Tighten loose and replace any missing lug nuts.
 Drive chains should be kept clean and tensioned correctly to prolong chain life. Ideal chain tension
should allow 1/2” maximum flex when deflected. Over tightening will cause damage to bearings and
sprockets. New roller chain drives should be inspected after 50 hours of operation. Every 500 hours
thereafter. During inspection look for; drive interference, damaged chain or sprockets, loose set
screws, proper sprocket alignment, chain tension, proper lubrication, foreign material buildup, and
proper guarding. Roller chain is considered worn out when it reaches three (3) percent elongation.
To check for elongation measure from pin to pin and compare with new chain. When replacing chain
or sprockets it is best to replace both at the same time.
