4.5 PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
Efficient and safe operation of the Batco Grain Conveyor
requires that each operator reads and understands the
operating procedures and all related safety precautions
outlined in this section. A pre-operation checklist is
provided for the operator. This checklist is important to
follow for personal safety and maintaining the mechanical
condition of the conveyor.
Before operating the conveyor, and each time thereafter,
the following areas should be checked off:
1. Service the machine per the schedule outlined in
Section 5– Service and Maintenance.
2. Use only a tractor, gas engine or electric motor of
adequate power to operate the machine.
3. Check that all guards are installed, secured and
functioning as intended. Do not operate with missing
or damaged shields.
4. Check work site. Clean up working area to prevent
slipping or tripping.
5. Check winch and cable (if equipped). There should be
at least 3 complete wraps of cable around the winch
drum in transport position. Check cable anchor on
winch drum is tight. Inspect cable and replace if frayed
or damaged.
6. Check that cable clamps are secure.
7. Check that drive and conveying belts are not frayed or
damaged and that they are properly adjusted and
aligned. See Section 5- Service and Maintenance.

4.6 CONTROLS
Before starting operating conveyor, all operators should
familiarize themselves with the location and function of the
controls.
1. GAS ENGINE
Refer to engine operator manual for controls operation.
2. ELECTRIC DRIVE
Use a licensed electrician to provide power to the
machine and to provide convenient shutdown
switches.
3. DIRECT DRIVE (GAS/ELEC)
BELT ENGAGEMENT (if equipped)
Leaver located near hopper allows belt drive to be
engaged or disengaged without cutting power to
engine.
4. WINCH
A winch is located on the top of the tube and is used to
raise and lower the conveyor.
5. HYDRAULIC SAFETY BALL VALVE (scissor-lift
conveyor)
This valve allows oil to flow into or out of the
hydraulic cylinder that raises or lowers the tube. If the
handle is parallel to the hydraulic line the valve is
open. Ensure valve is always closed when machine is
positioned.
6. PTO
Refer to tractor operators manual.
7. FL COLLASPIBLE HOPPER CONTROL
Field Loader conveyors are designed with a collapsible
hopper to allow it to go under low discharge units.
Move the control handle toward the hopper or intake
to release the hopper and move the handle toward the
outlet or spout end to collapse the hopper.
When loading the collapsible hopper, drive or back the
truck into position for loading or unloading the bin.
NOTE: Never dump material into the transfer area.
Always dump as close to the back of the hopper as
possible.
CAUTION
Anchoring and/or support of the
conveyor during operation is neces-
sary. When emptying the conveyor,
the weight balance transfers to the
upper end of the machine, which can
cause upending.
CAUTION
Hydraulic safety ball valve must be
fully opened before lifting or lower-
ing the conveyor.
Valve must be closed when conveyor
is in a fixed position to prevent the
hydraulic cylinder from creeping
downward during operation.
CAUTION
Conveyor should not be left in a
raised position for extended periods
of time. Fully lower conveyor.

1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially children,
before starting.
2. Be sure there is enough clearance from overhead
obstructions and power lines or other equipment
before moving the conveyor.
3. Back the machine up to the storage facility while it is
in its lowered configuration. If equipped with
extendable axles, place in extended position. Use
jack to aid adjustment.
4. Set the park brake on the tractor before dismounting.
5. Use the winch or hydraulic scissor-lift to raise the
machine so it clears the storage facility.
6. Slowly back the machine until the outlet is over the
opening in the storage facility.
7. Use the winch or hydraulics to slowly lower the
machine to the bin. Do not rest the spout or outlet
hood on the bin. This may cause hood or belt
damage.
8. Place chocks in the front and rear of each wheel.
9. Unhook the unit from the tractor or towing vehicle
and lower hopper to the ground.
10. Lower the machine to the bin, but do not rest the
spout or outlet hood on the bin.
11. Disconnect hydraulic hose (if equipped) and close

4.9 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When using the conveyor follow this procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children, before starting.
2. Review the Section 4.5—Pre-Operation checklist
before starting.
3. Review the Section 2—Workplace Hazards
schematics and use extra care when inside the hazard
area.
4.9.1 Starting Conveyor
I. Electric Drive
1. Turn the electric motor ON.
2. Engage belt drive if equipped
II. Gas Engine Drive
1. Disengage gas engine drive belt or electric
clutch..
2. Move throttle to it 1/4 position for starting.
3. Use choke if required.
4. Start engine.
5. Run engine for a couple of minutes until the
engine warms.
6. Engage belt drive or electric clutch and increase
engine speed to desired speed.
III. PTO Drive
1. Place all controls in neutral.
2. Engage tractor parking brake.
3. Start tractor and run at low idle.
4. Engage PTO and steadily increase engine speed
to desired speed.
IMPORTANT: Position tractor to keep U-joint angles
equal and as small as possible.
IV. Hydraulic Drive Instructions
1. Place all controls in neutral.
2. Start tractor and run at low idle.
3. Engage hydraulic control lever and increase
engine speed to desired speed.
NOTE: The correct operation of hydraulic systems is
directly linked to the pump’s ability to supply the correct
oil flow and pressure. If you cannot obtain the correct belt
speed, check with the dealer to ensure the power unit is
delivering the correct oil volume and pressure.
See Section 7.4 for the required hydraulics for
various motors used.
4.9.2 Conveyor Shutdown
I. PTO Models:
1. Run until the belting is empty.
2. Reduce engine speed to low idle.
3. Disengage PTO clutch.
4. Shut off engine and remove ignition key.
II. Hydraulic Drive Models:
1. Run until the belting is empty.
2. Reduce engine speed to low idle.
3. Place hydraulic control lever in neutral.
4. Shut off engine and remove ignition key.
III. Electric Motor Models:
1. Run until the belting is empty.
2. Disengaged belt drive if equipped.
3. Turn off motor and lock out power source.
IV. Gas Drive Models:
1. Run until the belting is empty.
2. Reduce engine speed to low idle.
3. Disengage belt drive; or disengage electric
clutch if unit is equipped with one.
4. Shut off engine.
4.9.3 Emergency Shutdown
Although it is recommended that the tube be emptied
before stopping, in an emergency situation, stop or shut
down the power source immediately. Lock out all power
and ensure the machine components come to a stop before
inspecting. Correct the emergency before resuming work.
4.9.4 Re-starting (full tube):
When the machine is shut down inadvertently, or for an
emergency, the tube will still be filled with material. Since
the start-up torque loads are much higher than normal when
the tube is full, re-start at low idle engine speed for the
PTO and gas engine models. It may be necessary to
tighten the drive belts slightly to handle the heavier than
normal loads.
4.8
G R A I N C O N V E Y O R O P E R A T O R ’ S M A N U A L
4.9.5 Conveyor Operating Angles
The manual or optional hydraulic lift can set the tube angle
at any position between 12º and 30º when operating.
Because the belt does not have roll back barriers, the
material will roll back if the angle is too steep. Do not
position the conveyor at an angle steeper then the angle of
repose of the material to be moved.
See Section 7 for help on determining these angles.
NOTE: The lower the angle, the greater the capacity.
4.9.6 Belt Speed
The best results are obtained when the input drives are set
to provide a belt speed of 500 to 600 ft/min. on 1300 &
1500 series, 600 to 650 on 1800 & 2000 series.
Count the number of belt revolutions per minute to
determine belt speed. Approximate belt length is double
the length of your machine plus 3 feet. See Section 7.1 for
belt lengths. Use the connector splice as a reference when
counting belt revolutions.
Contact your dealer or the factory for the appropriate drive
components to give the recommended belt speed.
4.9.7 Operating Tips
1. Direct the flow of material into the input hopper in the
direction of the belt for the best capacity.
2. Always listen for any unusual sounds or noises. If any
are heard, stop the machine and determine the source.
Correct the problem before resuming work.
3. An optional hydraulic lift is available for the machine.
Always close the Hydraulic Safety Ball Valve when the
machine is positioned.
4. Do not run the machine for long periods of time without
material on the belting. It increases the belt wear.
5. Do not move the machine by hand. Always use a tractor
or other towing vehicle.
6. Do not support outlet end directly on the storage
facility. Tie down the intake (hopper) or weight it down
to prevent upending.
7. To achieve maximum capacity feed material onto belt
until material tube clearance is 1/2”, do not flood feed
hopper.
8. On the PTO drive models, align the tractor axis with the
conveyor input shaft to minimize the angles of the
universal joints on the PTO driveline.
9. On the standard hopper conveyor, the best capacity is
obtained when the material is loaded into the hopper as
close to the tube as possible.
NOTICE
Attempting to move material at too
steep an angle can result in exces-
sive slide back and poor capacity.

5.5 MAINTENANCE
By following a careful service and maintenance program
for your machine, you will enjoy many years of trouble-
free service.
5.5.1 CONVEYOR BELT TENSION
Adjusting your conveyor belt for proper tension helps to
ensure trouble-free operation and long belt life. A conveyor
belt only needs to be tight enough to not slip on the drive
roller. If the belt is too loose, it will slip on the drive roller
making a noticeable sound, slowing the belt down. To cor-
rect belt slippage and set proper tension in the belt, follow
the steps in Table 5.1 below. Depending on the type of
conveyor you have, you will want to follow the steps for
the Conveyor Type in the table. Only the steps that apply
are numbered.
Helpful Tips:
• If belt is slipping and adjustment bolts are fully tight-
ened, then belt must be shortened. See Section 5.5.4 –
Belt Replacing for further details.
• Belt should not be easy to pull from the hopper transi-
tion sides, otherwise the belt will require tensioning.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate conveyor if belt is slip-
ping. Stop conveyor and tighten belt. Failure to do so will
damage the belt and may void the warranty.
NOTE: Some belts may have uneven edges, appearing
misaligned. Wait until the belt makes a complete revolu-
tion before adjusting rollers.
• When conveyor is starting/operating, the belt stretches
and the spring extends to take-up the stretched belt.
See Table 5.2 for recommended spring compression.
Excessive droop between s-drive and hopper should be
corrected.

5.5.2. CONVEYOR BELT ALIGNMENT
Conveyor belt should be checked weekly to ensure it does
not run to one side. If your belt is tracking to one side, use
Table 5.3 below, following the steps listed to center it. Fol-
low the steps in the table in order. If you are unsure where
the problem is, start in Problem Area A, working your way
to Problem Area G, following only the steps noted for
each. Skip problem area columns that do not apply. The
process can be lengthy but will help ensure trouble free
operation and long belt life.
Note: Ensure that conveyor is empty of all product be-
fore adjusting belt alignment.
Helpful Tips:
S-Drive
• If belt tracks to the side of the s-drive, check that it
is level with the hopper. U-clamps will have to be
loosened slightly and re-tightened to level s-drive.
NOTE: If you have a Pinch S-drive, use alternate step
D&E for instructions.
• The only adjustment required on the s-drive should
be on the drive roller, if the belt still tracks to one
side after adjusting the s-drive roller, then follow the
procedure for the wrap roller, if equipped and repeat
the same procedure for the s-drive return roller if
there are still problems.
• DO NOT adjust the take-up roller on the s-drive,
instead use a tape measure and measure dimension
‘A’ on both sides of the s-drive in Figure 5.6 to en-
sure take-up bearings/bolts are tightened equally.
Hopper/Spout Rollers
• Tighten adjustment bolt 1/2 turn on side that the belt
is running towards. (see Figure 5.11).
• If machine is equipped with a field loader hopper,
the transition return roller may have to be adjusted
to center the belt on the hopper roller.
Transition Rollers (Field Loader Conveyors)
• The top transition roller should be the only one re-
quiring adjustment. Only in extreme cases does the
bottom transition roller require adjustment (see Fig-
ure 5.10).
Note: Refer to Figures 5.7-5.12 for illustrations.

5.5.4 CONVEYOR BELT REPLACEMENT
1. Rotate the belting until the lacing is by the hopper or
easily accessible.
2. Move the tension roller to its loosest position.
3. Pull all the slack to the lacing area.
4. Remove the lacing pin (see Figure 5.14).
5. Attach one end of the replacement belt to the belt end
being removed, closest to the hopper.
6. Pull the old belt out and the new belt will be threaded
into place.
7. Disconnect the old belt.
8. Reattach conveyor belt ends together. If required, use a
ratchet strap clamped to both end of belt to cinch belt-
ing ends together.
9. Install lacing pin and crimp retainer clips onto each
end of the lacing pin.
10. Remove ratchet strap and tighten conveyor belt (see
Section 5.4.1-Conveyor Belt Tension).
11. Check and set belting alignment (see Section 5.4.2-
Belt Alignment).
12. Clear area of all bystanders and engage conveyor
drive. Allow to run for 30 seconds then shut down
conveyor and inspect lacing.
Fig 5.13- S-DRIVE BELT PATH
5.5.3 BELT RELACING
1. Rotate the belting until the lacing is by the hopper or
easily accessible.
2. Loosen conveyor belt and remove lacing retainer clip
and pin.
3. Use a square and sharp knife and cut lacing off right
behind the lacing clips. MUST ensure that cut belt has
a square end.
4. Use knife to cut Chevron pattern off 1 inch back from
end of belt. This ensures that the lacing is centered and
fully seated on the belt.
5. Use lacing tool to install new lacing clips. Lacing clips
are one clip shorter than belt width. For example: the
lacing for a 15 inch wide belt is 14 clips. Center lacing
on belt and install lacing as per instructions on lacing
tool.
6. Reattach conveyor belt ends together. If required, use a
ratchet strap clamped to both ends of belt to cinch belt-
ing ends together.
7. Install lacing pin and crimp retainer clips onto each
end of the lacing pin.
8. Remove ratchet strap and tighten conveyor belt (see
Section 5.4.1-Conveyor Belt Tension).
9. Check and set belting alignment (see Section 5.4.2-
Belt Alignment).

5.5.5 DRIVE BELT TENSION & ALIGNMENT
Power to the conveyor is transmitted through a set of V belts.
The drive system must be maintained at the proper belt
tension and pulley alignment to obtain the desired
performance and life. When maintaining the belt drive
system for the electric drive model, follow this procedure:
1. Turn motor off and unplug power cord or turn off power
at the master panel before starting on drive belt systems.
2. Belt Tension (Gas/Electric Drive):
a. Push on the center of the belt span with a force of
approximately 5 lbs.
b. The belts will deflect approximately 1/4” to 1/2”
when properly tensioned.
c. Move the motor base to set drive belt tension.
d. Close and secure guards.
3. Alignment:
a. Lay a straight edge across the pulley faces to
check the alignment.
b. Use the pulley hub to move the pulley to the
required position for alignment.
c. Tighten hub bolts to secure pulley on shaft.
d. Check belt tension.
e. Close and secure guards.
4. Belt Replacement:
a. Move motor base to its loosest position.
b. Remove old belts and replace with new one.
c. Check pulley alignment. Adjust if required.
d. Close and secure guards.
5.5.6 PTO DRIVE LINE GUARD
The shield must turn freely on the PTO shaft. Daily
lubrication of both shield bearings and periodic cleaning
will ensure safe operation of the shield.
If the shield is damaged or worn, replace the components.

5.5.7 TUBE ALIGNMENT CABLE TRUSS
1. Loosen cable clamps on trusses.
2. Support spout end of unit.
3. Starting from the outermost cables and working your
way in, tighten cable eyebolts evenly on both sides
until the spout just starts to bow upward (See Figure
5.15).
• The tube should not deflect to the left or right if
tightened evenly.
• When material is conveyed, the tube may deflect
down.
• Tension should be greater on longer cables than on
shorter cables. If the conveyor tubes remain
straight then the cables are tensioned properly.
4. Tighten cable clamps on trusses.
5. Secure jam nut on cable eyebolt.

T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G
The Batco grain conveyor uses an endless flat belt moving through a tube to convey material from one location to
another. It is a simple and reliable system that requires minimal maintenance.
In the following section, we have listed many of the problems, causes, and solutions to the problems that you may
encounter.
If you encounter a problem that is difficult to solve, even after having read through this troubleshooting section, please
call your local Batco dealer or distributor. Before you call, please have this Operator’s Manual and the serial number
from your machine ready.

7.5 CONVEYOR PRODUCT CHART
The following table indicates maximum angle a conveyor
can move grain.
To roughly determine conveyor angle, use angle guide on
right. Set manual on conveyor s-drive or tube and hold
string at A on diagram. String will fall between degree
lines, from this the approximate angle of the conveyor can
be determined.

Use the above chart to determine the angle of the conveyor.
To do this, place this book squarely on the machine. Then using a string
as a plumb bob, with weight attached to one end, hold the string (end
without the weight) on the ‘target’ indicator above. Read angle where
the weighted end of the string falls.
