INSTALLATION
• Support Installation
1. determine primary direction of product flow. figure 4A indicates the preferred flow as related to the drive.
2. Refer to "Match-Mark" numbers on ends of conveyor sections. (figure 4A) Position them in this sequence near the area of installation.
3. Attach supports to both ends of drive section and to one end of intermediate or tail sections (figure 4A). Hand tighten bolts only at this time. Conveyors
angle of incline will determine where the knee brace mounting brackets are to be placed when required.
4. Adjust elevation to required height.

• Ceiling Hanger Installation
If conveyors are to be used in an overhead application, ceiling hangers may
have been supplied in place of floor supports.
figure 4B shows how a ceiling hanger mounts to a conveyor section.
Ceiling hangers should be mounted at section joints. for safety informa-
tion concerning conveyors mounted overhead, refer to "Installation Safety
Precautions" on Page 3.
NOTE: When installing ceiling hanger rods in an existing building, all
methods of attachment must comply with local building codes.

• Belt Installation
The conveyor belt has been cut to the proper length and lacing installed at the
factory. To install follow these steps:
1. Thread belt through conveyor as shown (figure 5A).
2. Pull ends together and insert lacing pin (figure 5B).
3. Adjust belt tension with take-up pulley or tail pulley. Keep pulley square by
moving both take-up bolts an equal amount. Maintain enough tension so drive
pulley will not slip when carrying the rated load.
4. Track belt per instructions on Page 6, 7.

"MATCH-MARK NUMBERS"
(ETIQUETAS DE SECUENCIA DE ARMADO)
NOTE: If belt ends cannot be pulled together by hand, it may be nec-
essary to loosen take-ups (at tail pulley, etc.), minimum position or
use a belt puller so lacing pin can be easily inserted.
Excessive slippage will reduce belt life and damage drive pulley lagging.
Never apply more tension than is needed.
Over-tension will cause extra wear to belt and bearings and will require
extra power from drive.
• Conveyor Set-Up
1. Mark a chalk line on floor to locate center of the conveyor (floor Mounted
Conveyors).
2. Place the drive section in position.
3. Install remaining sections placing end without support on extend support
of previous section (figure 5C). Check "Match Mark" Numbers to see that
adjoining sections are in proper sequence
4. fasten sections together with splice plates and pivot plates (figure 5C).
Hand tighten bolts only.
5. Check to see that conveyor is level across width and length of unit. Adjust
supports and ceiling hangers as necessary.
6. Install electrical controls and wire motor.
7. Install and track belt per instructions on Belt Installation and Belt
Tracking.
