• Keep safety labels and signs clean and legible at all times.
• Replace safety labels and signs that are missing or have become illegible.
• When replacing parts that displays a safety sign, make sure that the new parts also
displays the safety sign.
• Safety labels and signs are available from your dealer’s parts department.
HOW TO INSTALL SAFETY DECALS
1. Be sure the installation area is clean and dry.
2. Decide on the exact position before you remove the backing paper.
3. Remove the smallest portion of the split backing paper.
4. Align the decal over the specified area and carefully position the small portion with
the exposed sticky backing in place.
5. Slowly peel back the remaining paper and carefully smooth the remaining portion of
the decal in place.
6. Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed using the piece of decal
backing paper.
LUBRICATION
• All wheel bearings and wheel hubs should be greased and packed at least once a
year.
• Oil should be changed when it becomes dirty and/or contaminated.
(# 991146 - OIL,HYD,PENNZOIL AW46) ATF
• All bearings are of sealed type and are 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.

MAINTENANCE
• 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 (55 PSI for 15” wheels).
• Check wheel nuts daily.
• Drive chains should be kept clean and tensioned correctly to prolong chain life. Ideal
chain tension should allow ½” 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 replace both at the
same time.
• Be sure the electrical system is setup with proper and adequate phase and voltage.
