INTRODUCTION
This manual provides guidelines and procedures for installing, operating,
and maintaining your conveyor. A complete parts list is provided with rec-
ommended spare parts highlighted in gray. Important safety information
is also provided throughout the manual. for safety to personnel and for
proper operation of your conveyor, it is recommended that you read and
follow the instructions provided in this manual.
• Receiving and Uncrating
1. Check the number of items received against the bill of lading.
2. Examine condition of equipment to determine if any damage
occurred during shipment.
3. move all crates to area of installation.
4. Remove crating and check for optional equipment that may be fas-
tened to the conveyor. make sure these parts (or any foreign pieces) are
removed.
NOTE: If damage has occurred or freight is missing,
Contact your Hytrol distributor.
• How to Order Replacement Parts
Included in this manual are parts drawings with complete replacement
parts lists. minor fasteners, such as nuts and bolts, are not included. When
ordering replacement parts:
1. Contact dealer from whom conveyor was purchased or nearest
HYTROL distributor.
2. Give Conveyor model Number and Serial Number or HYTROL factory
Order Number.
3. Give Part Number and complete description from Parts List.
4. Give type of drive. Example-8" End drive, 8" Center drive, etc.
5. If you are in a breakdown situation, tell us.
INSTALLATION
• Installation Safety
GUARdS ANd GUARdING
Interfacing of Equipment. When two or more pieces of equipment are interfaced,
special attention shall be given to the interfaced area to insure the presence of
adequate guarding and safety devices.
Guarding Exceptions. Wherever conditions prevail that would require guarding
under these standards, but such guarding would render the conveyor unusable,
prominent warning means shall be provided in the area or on the equipment in
lieu of guarding.
Guarded by Location or Position. Where necessary for the protection of employ-
ees from hazards, all exposed moving machinery parts that present a hazard to
employees at their work station shall be mechanically or electrically guarded, or
guarded by location or position.
When a conveyor passes over a walkway, roadway, or work station, it is
considered guarded solely by location or position if all moving parts are at least 8
ft. (2.44 m) above the floor or walking surface or are otherwise located so that the
employee cannot inadvertently come in contact with hazardous moving parts.
Although overhead conveyors may be guarded by location, spill guard, pan
guards, or equivalent shall be provided if the product may fall off the conveyor for
any reason and if personnel would be endangered.
HEAdROOm
When conveyors are installed above exit passageways, aisles, or corridors, there
shall be provided a minimum clearance of 6 ft. 8 in. (2.032 m) measured vertically
from the floor or walking surface to the lowest part of the conveyor or guards.
Where system function will be impaired by providing the minimum clearance
of 6 ft. 8 in. (2.032 m) through an emergency exit, alternate passageways shall
be provided.
It is permissible to allow passage under conveyors with less than 6 ft. 8 in.
(2.032 m) clearance from the floor for other than emergency exits if a suitable
warning indicates low headroom.
• Support Installation
1. determine primary direction of product flow. figure 3C indicates the preferred
flow as related to the drive.
2. Refer to "match-mark" numbers on ends of conveyor sections. (figure 3C)
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 3C). Hand tighten bolts only at this time. On RBI conveyors
the 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 3B shows how a ceiling hanger mounts to a conveyor section. Ceiling
hangers should be mounted at section joints. for safety information concerning
conveyors mounted overhead, refer to
• Conveyor Set-Up
mark a chalk line on floor to locate center of the conveyor (floor mounted
Conveyors).
Place the drive section in position.
Install remaining sections placing end without support on extend support of pre-
vious section (figure 3C). Check "match mark" Numbers to see that adjoining
sections are in proper sequence
fasten sections together with splice plates and pivot plates (figure 3C). Hand
tighten bolts only.
Check to see that conveyor is level across width and length of unit. Adjust sup-
ports and ceiling hangers as necessary.
Install electrical controls and wire motor. See Pages 4 and 5.
Install and track belt per instructions on Pages 4, 5, and 6.
