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

3. Proper sprocket location as shown in FIGURE 5 is essential for smooth belt operation. Sprocket teeth must
always drive against the connector rods. This accomplished by locating the DRIVE sprockets so that the teeth are
in the odd numbered openings and locating the tail sprockets so that the teeth are in the even numbered openings.
4. See FIGURE 6 below for assembly instructions.
FIGURE 6
FLAT WIRE BELT ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CLINCHED EDGE BELTS
Rods are furnished cut to length with
a hook formed on one end.
1. Mesh the two belt sections together
and insert connector rod (FIG. 1).
2. Close the preformed hook. Form a
hook on the opposite end with
pliers (FIG. 2).
3. Bend hook through the hole in
the belt and clinch over (FIG. 3).

5. The drive shaft must be perpendicular to the belt and the drive shaft and infeed sprocket must be parallel.
6. After making sure the conveyor is cleared o󰀨 and the drive sprockets are moving the belt in the correct direction,
run the conveyor. Tension the belt with the infeed take-up.
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, SPROCKETS, BEARINGS, AND DRIVE COMPONENTS TO WEAR
OUT PREMATURELY.
6. The following hints on belt operation will help avoid any problems with your wire mesh belt conveyor:
A. Observe direction of belt travel as shown in the drawings provided in this manual.
B. Loading should be evenly distributed across the full width of the belt.
C. Unloading of the belt should be positive. Loads should not be held stationary while
the belt is running.
D. Belt should not be started or stopped when fully loaded.
E. Keep the belt and conveyor clean so that product cannot jam the belt or get
between the sprockets and belt
III. MAINTENANCE
BELT
1. Make sure maintenance personnel look over the conveyor belt at least weekly and check on the following:
Sprockets, rollers, deck, etc. are free from foreign material that could fall in or
stick to the belt and cause damage.
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.

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 MOBILETEMP 78 GREASE TO THE
BORE OF THE REDUCER 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.
