INTRODUCTION
The management and employees of Titan Industries thank you for specifying Titan equipment. This manual
will give you the basic information to install and maintain your equipment. If special circumstances or
questions come up call Titan at 920-982-6600.
I. RECEIVING
Upon delivery of your Titan conveyor, check the packing slip or bill of lading accompanying the unit. If any
components are missing, contact Titan IMMEDIATELY with a description of the missing components along
with the conveyor serial number(s). The serial number is found on the serial plate normally positioned by the
drive.
Check the unit(s) over carefully upon arrival for damage. If you nd any damage note it on the bill of lading.
YOU MUST also le a claim IMMEDIATELY with the carrier.
II. INSTALLATION
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES, SAFETY SHOES, AND GLOVES.
HAVE AREA AROUND INSTALLATION SITE CLEARED OF DEBRIS.
LOCKOUT POWER TO CONVEYOR(S) UNTIL START-UP.
LOOK OUT FOR SHARP EDGES WHILE HANDLING CONVEYOR COMPONENTS.
BE CAREFUL IN AND AROUND THE CONVEYOR(S) DURING INSTALLATION.
ALSO, BE AWARE OF OTHERS IN THE AREA.
ONLY ALLOW QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL CONVEYORS.
SUPPORT ASSEMBLY
Standard supports are always shipped assembled. See FIGURE 1 for a component breakdown.
FIGURE 1

IN ORDER FOR THE CONVEYOR TO BE STABLE, THE SUPPORTS MUST BE
LAGGED TO THE FLOOR OR SUPPORT STRUCTURE. THIS IS THE CUSTOMER
RESPONSIBILITY!!
FRAME ASSEMBLY
1. To start, along side the area where the conveyor is to be installed, layout the frame sections in their proper
position according to the ordered description or refer to your copy of the approval drawing.
NOTE: If several sections of frame are to be joined in a particular sequence, they will be factory
matched marked. See FIGURE 2.
2. Layout a line on the oor to represent the centerline of the conveyor. As frame sections are bolted
together make sure the frame remains centered on the line.
3. Generally, if there are short sections (1’, 2’ or 4’), position them adjacent to the drive section.
4. If a center take-up or center drive and take-up section has been provided, position the section as close
to the center of the conveyor as possible.
5. Bolt together conveyor frames nger tight. Square frames and make sure all frames line up with
adjacent section before securing all bolts. See FIGURE 3.

COMPONENT CHECKLIST
Prior to start up use the following list to double check the conveyor components.
MOTOR Have a qualied electrician ensure the motor is wired correctly for your power source.
Check that motor is securely fastened to the reducer or motorbase.
REDUCER Check that the proper amount of oil is in the reducer.* Make sure a vent plug is
installed on the reducer.* (A solid plug is usually installed for shipping.)See FIGURE 10.
BEARINGS Double check that bearings are fastened securely. Be sure that locking collars are
tightened and set screws are secured rmly to the shaft.
GENERAL Check that sprockets with chain and/or sheaves with V-belt are aligned and properly
tensioned.*
*Additional information available in section III Maintenance.
BELT INSTALLATION
1. Locate all take-up pulleys to their minimum take-up positions to allow for easy belt installation.
2. As a double check, lay out belt on a level surface and pull tight. The belt should lay at and be in a straight
line. See FIGURE 4. At this time recheck belt ends to ensure that they were cut squarely and that the
lacing was installed properly.
3. With typical belt threading arrangement shown on page 8 FIGURE 6 of this manual, install the belt on the
conveyor. Interlock the laced ends squarely, and push the connector pin thru the lacing. If a metal connector
pin is used, center the pin and bend the ends over slightly to keep the pin from working out. See FIGURE 5

4. After making sure the conveyor is cleared off and the drive pulley is moving the belt in the correct direction,
run the conveyor. Take up slack belt with the take-up provided until there is no slippage between the drive
pulley and the belt.
A GENERAL RULE FOR CORRECT BELT TENSION IS THAT THE BELT MUST BE
TIGHT ENOUGH TO MOVE YOUR PRODUCT AT FULL LOAD. OVERTIGHTENING
OF THE BELT WILL CAUSE THE BELT, PULLEYS, BEARINGS, AND DRIVE
COMPONENTS TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY.
III. MAINTENANCE
BELT TRACKING
1. The rst step in belt tracking is to make sure all pulleys are parallel with each other and perpendicular to
the frame. Once this has been done refer to FIGURE 7 for proper tracking adjustments on end drive
conveyors or FIGURE 8 for proper tracking on center drive and take-up conveyors.
IN REF. TO LEFT HAND AND RIGHT HAND SIDES, WE AT TITAN INDUSTRIES
ALWAYS POSITION OURSELF STANDING AT THE INFEED, LOOKING AT THE
DRIVE END TO DETERMINE RIGHT HAND VS LEFT HAND

2. With the conveyor running, make pulley, snub roller, or return roller adjustments of 1/16 of an inch, allowing
the belt several revolutions to react between each adjustment.
NOTE: IN MANY CASES, ADJUSTMENTS OF THE SNUB PULLEY AND
RETURN ROLLER ARE SUFFICIENT TO CENTER THE BELT OVER THE DRIVE
PULLEY AND TAIL PULLEY
3. After the belt has been tracked WATCH IT CLOSELY for a few days making any additional adjustments
required during this initial stretch-in period.
4. On longer units a short section of laced belt called a “Dutchman” is added to the overall length of the belt. As
the belt is taken up the “Dutchman” can be removed to allow the conveyor take-up additional adjustment.
5. Make sure maintenance personnel look over the conveyor belt at least weekly and check on the following:
Belt is tracking properly and is not slipping on drive pulley.
Pulleys, rollers, deck, etc. are free from foreign material that could fall in or stick to the belt
and cause damage.
Belt is not being frayed or cut by siderails, chutes, hoppers, etc.
That belt lacing is not being damaged and belt connector pin is staying in the lacing.
MOTORS
1. CLEANING - All motors should be kept free of dirt and grease accumulations. Open motors should be
periodically vacuumed to remove dust and dirt from the windings.
2. VENTILATION - For best results motors should be operated in an area where adequate ventilation is
available.
3. TEMPERATURE - Most of todays smooth body T.E.N.V. and T.E.F.C. Motors run hot to the touch. As long
as maximum ambient temperatures are not exceeded, and more importantly, ampere draw is within the
allowable range, there should be no need to worry. (Both of these limits are found on the motor nameplate.)
4. LUBRICATION - Most electric motors are lubricated for life and under normal conditions require no more
lubrication. Under severe conditions where additional lubrication is required, use the following chart
as a guide.
THE FOLLOWING CHART IS BASED ON MOTORS WITH GREASE LUBRICATED
BEARINGS, RUNNING AT SPEEDS OF 1750 R.P.M. OR LESS, AND OPERATING
WITHIN AN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE OF BETWEEN 0 DEGREES F. TO 120
DEGREES F.
Typical lubricants that can be used:
Chevron Oil Co. - SRI#2 Gulf Rening Co. - Precision #2 or #3
Shell Oil Co. - Alvania #2, Dolium R Mobile Oil Co. - Mobilux Grease #2
Texaco Inc. - Premium RB Sinclair Rening Co. - A.F.#2

REDUCERS
The following reducer information is concerned primarily with wormgear reducers. If your conveyor is equipped
with another type, refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations for installation and maintenance sent along at time
of shipment.
1. ASSEMBLE / DISASSEMBLE MOTOR TO REDUCER - Because many of today’s motor keyways are cut
with a sidemill cutter, the following assembly instructions should be followed to insure a trouble-free t
between motor and reducer. First, place the key into the reducer keyway. Second, line up the motor
keyseat with the key and push the motor shaft into the reducer bore. Third, nish assembly be bolting the
motor to the reducer ange. This procedure should insure that the key does not slide back in the
motor keyseat. See FIGURE 9.
2. VENTILATION - During normal operation gear reducers build up heat and pressure that MUST be vented
to protect the seals and gears. If not installed at Titan, a brass vent plug contained in a small plastic bag,
will be put in a box or larger bag along with fasteners sent loose for use during eld installation. Remove
the top most drain plug (refer to FIGURE 10) for the position of your reducer) and install the vent plug
securely in place.
3. CLEANING - After approximately two to three weeks of operation the reducer MUST be drained, ushed
out, and relled to the proper level with fresh oil. (This is done to remove brass particles caused during
the normal wear-in period of the worm gear.) Afterwards, the oil should be changed in your reducer every
2500 hours or ever 6 months, which ever occurs rst.
WHERE HIGH TEMPERATURES AND/OR DIRTY ATMOSPHERE EXISTS MORE
FREQUENT CHANGES MAY BE NECESSARY. PERIODICALLY CHECK REDUCER
TO ENSURE THAT THE PROPER LEVEL OF OIL IS IN THE REDUCER. TOO
LITTLE OIL WILL CAUSE ACCELERATED WEAR ON THE GEARS. TOO MUCH
OIL CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING, SEAL DETERIORATION, AND LEAKAGE.

NO!
IF MOTOR SHAFT HAS A KEYSEAT MADE BY AN
ENDMILL NO SPECIAL ASSEMBLY STEPS ARE
REQUIRED.
THE CORRECT ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE IS
TO PLACE THE KEY INTO THE REDUCER
KEYWAY. THEN LINE UP MOTOR KEYSEAT WITH
KEY IN REDUCER. PUSH MOTOR SHAFT ONTO
REDUCER AND BOLT TOGETHER.
MANY OF TODAY'S MOTORS HAVE KEYSEATS
CUT WITH A SIDEMILL CUTTER. IF YOU
PLACE THE KEY IN THE MOTOR KEYSEAT
IT CAN SLIDE BACK AS THE MOTOR SHAFT
IS PUSHED INTO THE HOLLOW INPUT SHAFT
OF THE REDUCER. THIS CAN CAUSE THE
HOLLOW INPUT SHAFT TO BREAKOUT
RUINING THE SEALS, ALLOWING OIL LEAKAGE,
AND FURTHER DAMAGE.
NOTE: IT IS ALSO ADVISABLE TO APPLY FEL-PRO C5A ANTISEIZE OR
THIS WILL MAKE ANY FUTURE DISASSEMBLY MUCH EASIER.

4. LUBRICATION - The precision - made gears and bearings in our reducers require high-grade lubricants of
the proper viscosity to maintain trouble- free performance. All standard reducers ordered from the factory
are lled with ISO viscosity grade Mobil Glygoyle 460 polyalkalene glycol (PAG) lubricant. If oil needs to
be added or changed, ONLY compatible polyglycol lubricants should be used. Contact the factory for
more information.
5. TEMPERATURE - Most Titan Units are supplied with wormgear reducers. These units may run at
temperatures between 100 degrees to 200 degrees F. (Higher temperatures are especially common during
start up). There is NO NEED TO WORRY unless temperatures exceed 200 degrees F.
6. GENERAL MAINTENANCE - Regular inspection to insure the reducer bolts and screws are tight, correct
alignment of shaft and/or coupling, no major oil leaks, no excessive heating and no unusual vibration or
noise will insure maximum life and performance of the reducer.
BEARINGS
1. LUBRICATION - Bearings used on Titan Conveyors are normally pre-lubed for life. If customer requested,
re-lube bearings are provided, the use of a #2 consistency lithium based grease is advised.

5/12
13
Greasing Frequency should be as many times as necessary to maintain a small lm of grease leaking at the seals.
This will protect against foreign materials entering the bearing. The following list is provided to aid you in
acquiring the proper grease or an equivalent.
2. REPLACEMENT - If replacement of bearings become necessary remember to clean off the shaft, le
smooth grooves or set screw marks, and oil the shaft before slipping on the new bearing.
IF BEARING DOES NOT SLIDE ON EASILY, USE A SOFT
METAL BAR TO TAP AGAINST THE INNER RACE TO ASSEMBLE.
3. GENERAL - Set up a weekly check on all bearings to ensure they remain tightly bolted down, set
screws remain fastened securely and are properly lubricated.
V-BELT & SHEAVES
If provided on your drive package, V-Belt tension & sheave alignment are important for extended belt life. Read the
following list over for proper maintenance or installation.
1. Never pound sheaves on or off a shaft. Make sure that the shaft diameter and sheave bore is properly
sized. If there are burrs caused by set screws or sharp edges on the keyway or keyseat, remove
carefully with emery cloth and/or le. Clean off metal particles and dirt from the shaft and sheave
before installation.
2. Sheaves must be in line with each other and installed on shafts which are parallel with each other.
3. DO NOT FORCE or use the drive to install a V-belt. Have driven components loose to install the belt(s).

4. With available take-up tighten belts enough to keep from slipping during operation. Ideal belt tension
is the lowest tension at which the belt will not slip under peak load conditions. The drive side of the
belt(s) should be straight across and the slack side should show a slight bow.
5. Do not place new belt(s) on worn sheaves.
6. If multiple belts are used, replace all belts with a new set or matched belts.
7. Do not use belt dressing on belt(s) which are slipping. Belt dressing will damage the belt and cause
early failure. Tighten belt(s) to proper tension, or if dirty, clean the belt(s) with a commercial
rubber solvent.
CHECK V-BELTS AND SHEAVES ONLY WHEN CONVEYOR IS
STOPPED!
CHAIN & SPROCKETS
For longest chain life a constant lm or oil is recommended. We recommend a good quality non-detergent petro-
leum base oil. Use the chart below
SHUT OFF CONVEYOR BEFORE USING OIL CAN OR BRUSH TO APPLY OIL!
REMEMBER - ALL GUARDS AND BOTTOM PANS, IF PROVIDED, MUST BE
REPLACED BEFORE RUNNING CONVEYOR. TITAN INDUSTRIES IS NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURIES CAUSED BY NOT COMPLYING WITH
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
