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. The drive belt on Model 490 conveyors comes installed from the factory.
3. The typical belt threading arrangement is pictured in FIGURE 3 BELOW.
3. After making sure the conveyor is cleared o󰀨 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
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 4.
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 5) for the position of your reducer) and install the vent plug securely in place.

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..

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 evey
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.
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.
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 o󰀨 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 o󰀨 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 o󰀨 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. See FIGURE 6.
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 CONVEYORIS STOPPED!
CHAIN & SPROCKETS
For longest chain life a constant lm or oil is recommended. We recommend a good quality non-detergent petroleum 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.
