GENERAL CONVEYOR INFORMATION

It is important to become familiar with the routineoperating procedures before attempting start-up.

General Information (con’t.)

During operation of your conveyor, one person shallbe in a position to monitor the operation.Visually inspect the conveyor periodically duringoperation, be aware of all adjustments and checkswhich should be performed.Do Not attempt full load operation at low speeds, ashigh torque requirements may damage the conveyor.

WARNING! During initial start-up andbreak-in period, the operator shall beaware of any unusual vibrations or noisesthat would indicate a need for service orrepair.Keep all safety shields and devices inplace. Keep hands, feet, and clothingaway from moving parts.The operator should have a full view ofthe conveyor work area and check thatall personnel are free from designatedwork areas before adding power.

6/10 1036451-4

IMPORTANT! The conveyor should be frequentlychecked and serviced to operate freely. Keep allguards and shields in place, replace any that aredamaged or missing.

BREAK-IN INFORMATIONAny conveyor when it is new, or after sitting idle for aseason should go through a “break-in” period. Theconveyor should be run at partial capacity until severalhundred bushels of grain have been conveyed to polishthe housing. A conveyor that has not been polished inthis manner requires greater horsepower to operate,and damage to conveyor can occur.When the housing has been polished and smooth, theconveyor can be run at full capacity. Never run conveyorempty for any length of time as excessive wear willresult. If at all possible, do not stop or start the conveyorunder load, especially before the housing becomeswell polished, as this may cause the conveyor to“freeze-up.”

Obtain any needed replacement parts from yourdealer and install before using the machine.

OPERATING CAPACITIESThe 12” Grain Pump® conveyor has the ability to convey10,000 Bushels Per Hour (270 MTH) of reasonably drygrain during normal operating conditions.Maximum possible capacity will be less with highmoisture grain (above 15%) than with dry grain. Twenty-five percent (25%) moisture could cut capacity backby as much as 40% under some conditions.The results or capacities of conveyors can vary greatlyunder varying conditions. Different materials, moisturecontent, amounts of foreign matter, angle of operation,methods of feeding and conveyor speed all play a rolein the performance of the conveyor. A conveyoroperating at a 40° incline could be cut by 20% incapacity compared to a conveyor operating horizontally.Overfeeding the conveyor would result in increasedpower requirements, extra strain on the driveline andpossibly a complete stalling out. Under the “extra” grainpressure conditions, a control gate or other method oflimiting the amount of grain being fed into the conveyorshould be used.

• Inspect the drive before adding power and know howto shutdown in an emergency (See Page 9).

Page 7: OWNER'S & OPERATOR'S MANUAL

GENERAL INFORMATIONPage 5

WARNING! Shut off power and lockoutwhenever cleaning or servicing theconveyor.The reset and starting controls must belocated so that the operator has fullview of the entire operation.Disconnect power before resettingmotor overloads.Make certain electric motor is properlygrounded.A main power disconnect switch thatcan be locked in only the “Off” positionshall be provided. This shall be lockedwhenever work is being done to theconveyor.Do Not enter the grain bin unless allpower driven equipment has beenshutdown and locked out.

ELECTRIC DRIVE POWERREQUIREMENTS

Note: The electric motor is not furnished. Always usea motor with the required power recommended shownin the chart below. Use a 60 hz motor that operates at1750 RPM (50 hz @ 1460 RPM).Electric motors and controls shall be installed bya qualified electrician and must meet the standardsset by the National Electric Code and all local andstate codes.A magnetic starter should be used to protect your motorwhen starting or stopping. It should stop the motor incase of power interruption, conductor fault, low voltage,circuit interruption and/or motor overload. The motorshould then be restarted manually.A main power disconnect switch that can be lockedonly in the “Off” position shall be provided. This shallbe locked whenever work is being done to the conveyor.

Motor horsepower (kW) requirements are dependanton the length of the conveyor, conveyor operatingspeed and capacity, and conveyor incline angle.The following table, based on conveyor incline angle,shows the maximum conveyor length that can beused for various motor horsepower (kW’s).

GENERAL INFORMATION

HORSEPOWER (kW) REQUIREMENTSPOWER CALCULATIONSelect the angle of operation and a grain pump size that can deliver the needed capacity for your application.The maximum capacity for the 12” conveyor is 10,000 bushels per hour (270 MTH) and will likely only beachieved in horizontal operation.Maximum capacity will likely reduce as operating angle increases due to reduced feeding efficiency at the intakehopper. In the higher angles of operation, capacity reductions from 30% to 50% of maximum capacity arepossible. Using the Inlet Extension will place grain higher in the inlet hopper for increased efficiency.Use the table below to determine the horsepower per foot (kW per meter) for the operating capacity and angle ofoperation. The power values are for maximum capacity, for operating capacity below maximum, reduce thepower proportionally.To determine the required power for your application:Multiply the conveyor length by the horsepower per foot (kW per meter) shown in the table below.For calculation purposes, the head and boot together are 13 feet (3.96 m) of conveyor length.Then add the length of tube housing sections for total conveyor length.

Page 6

6/10 0401829 1036451-6

For Example:If using two 10’ (3.05 m) housing sections with conveyor in the 30° operating position.Add the two housing sections together, 10’ + 10’ = 20’ (6.10 m) then add the 13’ (3.96 m) for the headand boot sections. Total conveyor length is 33’ (10.06 m).10’ + 10’ = 20’ + 13’ = 33’(3.05 m + 3.05 m = 6.10 m + 3.96 m = 10.06 m)

Now multiply the 33’ (10.06 m) by the horsepower per foot (kW per meter) shownin the 30° column in the table below.33’ x .397 hp = 13.10 hp you would need a 15 hp motor(10.06 m x .968 kW = 9.74 kW use a 11 kW motor)

To achieve proper operating efficiency, always use a motor with thenext highest horsepower (kW) rating as compared to the answer in your final calculation.

WARNING! Under no circumstancesshould persons not involved in theoperation be allowed to trespass intothe work area.It shall be the duty of all operator’s tosee that children and/or other personsstay out of the work areas. Trespassinginto the work area by anyone notinvolved in the actual operation, ortrespassing into a hazard area byanyone shall result in immediateshutdown by the operator.It shall be the responsibility of theoperator’s to see that the work area hassecure footing, is clean and free of alldebris and tools which might causeaccidental tripping and/or falling. Itshall also be their responsibility to keepthe work area clean and orderly duringthe operation.

DESIGNATED WORK AREA

Before starting the conveyor, a designated work areashould be established and properly marked.This areas shall be marked off with colored nylon orplastic rope or banners hung as portable barriers todefine the designated work area.All operator’s shall know how to shutdown and lock-out the equipment in the event of an emergency (seePage 9 for shutdown and lockout information).

OPERATING PROCEDURES

WARNING! The operator shall beaware of any unusual vibrations, noisesand the loosening of any fasteners.Keep all safety shields and devices inplace. Keep hands, feet and clothingaway from moving parts.The operator shall have a full view theconveyor work area and check that allpersonnel are clear of hazard areasbefore adding power.A main power disconnect switch thatcan be locked in only the “Off” positionshall be provided. This shall be lockedwhenever work is being done to theconveyor.The reset and starting controls must belocated so that the operator has fullview of the entire operation.Disconnect power before resettingmotor overloads. Make certain electricmotor is grounded.Shut off power and lockout whenevercleaning or servicing the conveyor.

Check the following before adding power:All safety devices are in place and properlyfastened, and the clean-out door on bottom ofhopper is in place.Drive belts are properly tightened and in goodcondition, Replace belts if they are cracked,frayed, or damaged in anyway.Check electrical cords to ensure they are in goodcondition. Replace if necessary.Check electric power box and controls. Verify thepower source can be locked out.Ensure conveyor is properly positioned and workarea is appropriately marked and free of tools,debris and other hazards.Verify all drive component hardware and fastenersare tight, i.e. motor mount, pulleys, setscrews etc.

Page 11: OWNER'S & OPERATOR'S MANUAL

1. Start the electric motor and check to make sureconveyor is running properly.

2. Slowly begin filling the inlet hopper with grain untildesired flow rate is achieved.

3. Monitor grain entering and exiting the conveyorduring operation until it is time to shut down theunit.

4. Before shutting down the conveyor, shut off grainflow into the hopper and allow the conveyor toempty.

Begin Grain Conveying Operations

ELECTRIC DRIVE SHUTDOWN/LOCKOUT

WARNING! If the operator must leavethe work area, or whenever servicingor adjusting, the conveyor must bestopped and the power source turnedoff and locked out.Precaution should be made to preventanyone from operating the conveyorwhen the operator is away from thework area.

Emergency ShutdownShould the conveyor be immediately shutdown underload, disconnect and lockout the power source.Clear as much grain from the hopper and conveyor asyou can. Use the clean-out door in the bottom of thehopper to help clean grain from this area.When as much grain as possible has been cleared,reconnect the power source and clear the conveyorgradually.Never attempt to restart conveyor when full of grain.Starting the unit under load may result in damage tothe conveyor, such damage is considered abuse andis not covered by warranty.

Normal ShutdownMake certain that the hopper and conveyor are emptybefore stopping the unit. Before the operator leavesthe work area, the power source shall be locked out(See “Lockout” below).

Intermittent ShutdownWhen a conveyor is stopped and restarted under fullload, it may result in damage to the conveyor. There-fore if intermittent operation is to be carried out, it isadvisable to reduce the load level.When kept from absolute filling, conveyor start-up iseasier and operation more efficient.

LockoutThe power source for electric units shall have a maindisconnect box that can be locked only in the “Off”position. That is what “shutdown and lockout” refersto - Shut off the main power source and lock the handleor breaker switch in the “Off” position.

LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCEPage 10

6/10 0401831 1036451-10

WARNING! Shut off power and lockoutbefore attempting to adjust, service,clean or repair the conveyor or any ofits components.Keep hands, feet and clothing awayfrom moving parts.Make sure all safety devices, shieldsand guards are in place and functional.Immediately replace any that aredamaged or missing.Never rely solely on mechanical orhydraulic jacks for support. Use jackstands or equivalent for support.Never operate the conveyor with accessdoors or panels open.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

For economical and efficient operation of yourconveyor, maintain regular and correct lubrication,maintenance and service schedules. Neglect leadsto reduced efficiency, excessive wear and needlessdown time.Any parts needing replacement should be replacedwith parts of the same type and size. Do Not modifyor alter any of the conveyor components.

GUARDSCheck the guards to see if they are properly adjustedand securely fastened.Guards should not be rubbing against pulleys, belts,chains or sprockets. Immediately replace any guardsthat are damaged.

The head bearings are located on the head section atthe discharge end of the conveyor (one bearing oneach side of the head section) See Fig. 2.The inlet hopper bearing is located on the right handside of the inlet hopper on boot drive units and onboth sides of the hopper on head drive units.These bearings are fitted with grease zerks (lubricationfittings) and should be lubricated approximately onceannually.Before greasing the bearings, make sure the zerksare free of dirt, otherwise the dirt will be passed intothe bearing race which can cause contaminationresulting in bearing failure.Use an SAE multi-purpose type grease.Normally only one to two pumps of the grease gun issufficient when servicing the bearings. NOTE: Overgreasing can be just as harmful as under greasing ifit forces grease out of the bearing seals.The bearings themselves do not require adjustment,but check to make sure the hardware securing thebearings is tight. Also check the setscrews in the lockcollars to ensure they are tight against the shaft.

LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCEPage 11

6/10 0401832 1036451-11

GEARBOX LUBRICATIONBOOT DRIVE MODELS

Even under normal working conditions, oil will stilldissipate. Check oil level in gearboxes periodicallyand maintain proper level.

WARNING! Keep all safety shields anddevices in place.Never clean, adjust or lubricate a machinethat is in operation.

CAUTION: Too much oil will cause overheatingand too little oil will result in gear wear and gearfailure. Check oil level regularly.

IMPORTANT! The gearbox is shipped without oil. Oilneeds to be added before operation of the conveyor.

Proper lubrication is extremely important for operation.Follow the instructions on the reducer nameplate, itswarning tag and in the installation manual provided withthe gearbox. Failure to observe these precautionscould result in damage to the equipment.

Recommended Oil:

Oil Change Intervals:Initial change after 2 weeks (if desired, this oilmay be filtered and reused).Thereafter, every 2500 hours, or 6 months(whichever comes first). Oil should be drained,magnetic plug cleaned, and gearbox flushed andrefilled.Under extreme conditions, 1 to 3 months.

Very often, small metal particles will show up in the oildue to the wearing process. A magnetic drain plug isprovided to help contain the particles.

Oil should be changed more frequently when conveyoris being operated at high temperatures, under extremedirty conditions, or when operated continuously.Under these extreme conditions the oil should bechanged every 1 to 3 months, depending on severityof the conditions.

1. Before adding oil to the gearbox, the conveyorshould be positioned in the operating position it willmost likely be used at. Determine the lowest pointof the gearbox with the conveyor in this position.Remove the existing plug from this location.Replace the plug with the magnetic plug provided.

2. Remove and discard the shipping tape that coversthe fill/ventilation plug and install the provided ventplug in the top most hole of the gearbox asdetermined by its operating position (the plug mayhave been installed at the factory, but may need tobe relocated depending on the conveyors operatingposition).

3. Remove the oil vent/fill plug and add 6 qts. (5.68 l)of a high grade petroleum base, rust & oxidationinhibited (R&O) gear oil.

In some applications, the conveyor may be left in itsoperating position until either moved to a new bin siteor until put into storage at seasons end. To check theoil level during the time the conveyor remains in theoperating position, use a dipstick or similar device andinsert into one of the plug holes to take a reading, markthe oil level on the dipstick. Use this same method fortaking future oil level readings (conveyor must be inthe same position for future oil readings as it was whenthe first initial reading was taken).

For normal operating temperatures (between 40°Fand 120°F) we recommend an SAE 90 weight, highgrade petroleum base, rust and oxidation inhibited(R&O) gear oil.For temperatures below 40°F use an SAE 80 weightoil of the same grade (use a grade commerciallyavailable for automotive differentials).Extra pressure additives may be of value in severeapplications.

GEARBOX LUBRICATIONHEAD DRIVE MODELS

The running position of the gearbox in a horizontalapplication is not limited to the four positions shownon the following page (Page 13). However if runningposition is over 20° either way from the positionsshown, the oil level plug cannot be used to check theoil level unless the torque arm is disconnected andthe gearbox is swung to one of the positions shown.Because of the many possible positions of the gear-box, it may be necessary or desirable to make specialadapters using the lubrication fitting holes furnishedalong with other standard pipe fittings, stand pipes, oillevel gauges or a dipstick as required.If using a dipstick type device, add the appropriateamount of oil and using the dipstick, take a readingfrom any of the upper plug openings. Mark the leveland use this method each time the level is checked(make sure that the gearbox is in the same positionand the same plug opening is used each time the oillevel is checked).

1. The oil fill amount will vary depending on conveyoroperating position. Before adding oil to thegearbox, the conveyor should be positioned in theoperating position it will most likely be used at.Determine the lowest point of the gearbox with theconveyor in this position. Remove the existing plugfrom this location. Replace the plug with themagnetic plug provided.

WARNING! Keep all safety shields anddevices in place.Never clean, adjust or lubricate a machinethat is in operation.

Even under normal working conditions, oil will stilldissipate. Check oil level in gearboxes periodicallyand maintain proper level.

CAUTION: Too much oil will cause overheatingand too little oil will result in gear wear and gearfailure. Check oil level regularly.

IMPORTANT! The gearbox is shipped without oil. Oilneeds to be added before operation of the conveyor.

Proper lubrication is extremely important for operation.

Recommended Oil:For normal operating temperatures (between 40°Fand 120°F) we recommend an SAE 90 weight, highgrade petroleum base, rust and oxidation inhibited(R&O) gear oil.For temperatures below 40°F use an SAE 80 weightoil of the same grade (use a grade commerciallyavailable for automotive differentials).Extra pressure additives may be of value in severeapplications.

Very often, small metal particles will show up in the oildue to the wearing process. A magnetic drain plug isprovided to help contain the particles.

After an initial operation of about 2 weeks, the oil shouldbe changed (if desired this oil can be filtered and re-used). After the first initial break-in period, the oil should bedrained, magnetic plug cleaned gearbox flushed andrefilled every 2500 hours of operation or 6 months,whichever comes first.Oil should be changed more frequently when conveyoris being operated at high temperatures, under extremedirty conditions, or when operated continuously.Under these extreme conditions the oil should bechanged about every 3 months, depending on theseverity of the conditions.

2. The oil vent/fill plug may need to be relocateddepending on the position of the gearbox whenconveyor is in the operating position. If necessarymove the vent/fill plug (breather) to one of thehighest locations possible.Add the necessary amount of a high grade SAE 90weight petroleum base, rust & oxidation inhibited(R&O) gear oil through the vent/fill opening (Seechart on Page 13 for correct amount of oil).

CONVEYOR DRIVE CHAINADJUSTMENTNOTE: On head drive units, loosen the drive belts sothat the chain can be properly tensioned. Whendesired chain tension is achieved, readjust drive belttension (See Page 15 for head drive belt adjustment).

1. Loosen the four (4) carriage bolts on the take-upslide on each side of the head assembly (locatedat the discharge end of the conveyor, See Fig. 4).There will be a total of eight (8) carriage bolts.

2. Move the jam nuts on the conveyor chainadjustment bolts in direction desired to either loosenor tighten the chain. Move the jam nuts in equalincrements so that the head shaft remainsstraight.Check each side for equal distance by measuringfrom the shaft of each bearing to the head end.Once proper tension has been set, tighten the eightcarriage bolts and secure the jam nuts.If the chain is still too loose after these adjustmentshave been made, it may be necessary to removeone or more chain links from the chain.

Fig. 4

CONVEYOR CHAIN SPROCKETSThe conveyor chain sprockets should be occasionallychecked for movement or sliding on the shaft. Thesetscrews in the sprocket hub should be tight securingthe sprocket to the shaft.Also, check the setscrew on the bearing lock collarsThese should be tight, holding the shaft from slippingthrough the bearing. Replace worn or damagedsprockets.

CHECKING CONVEYOR DRIVECHAIN TENSIONTo check conveyor drive chain tension, grasp one ofthe paddles at the intake end and attempt to rotate it uptowards the chain. Proper chain tension should allowonly minimal movement of the paddle (See Fig.5).

DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENTHEAD DRIVE & BOOT DRIVEAll belts need to be checked and adjusted periodicallyto assure all belt driven components are performingproperly. Check belts for fraying, cracking or any othersigns of damage. Replace as needed.Belt tension must be sufficient to avoid any slipping orabnormal wear during conveyor operation. Do Notovertighten the belts. Overtightening creates highstress on the belts and conveyor components and canresult in excessive vibration. This vibration can resultin damage to the conveyor components.Check to see that correct alignment of the sheavesand belts is maintained. Check that all sheaves aresecured on their shaft, drive key is in place and thesetscrews are tight.

1. Loosen the four (4) carriage bolts securing the feetof the motor mount plate to the brackets on theconveyor housing (See Fig. 6).Note the two 3/4” nuts securing the threaded rod tothe adjustment bracket. Loosen the nut on the backside of the bracket and thread the nut back a coupleof inches.Turn the nut on the front side of the bracket untilproper belt tension has been achieved. Proper belttension is 9/16” of deflection per belt when using7.5 lbs. of force at the center of the span betweenthe two sheaves.After 24 hours of operation, and for the remainderof belt life, deflection should be 9/16” using 4 to 5.5lbs. of force. If you do not have a weight set toapply the recommended amount of force, a fishscale is a good alternative. Tension can also bechecked by pressing firmly on the belts at thecenter of the span between the two sheaves.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Extreme Noise from Housing1. Conveyor chain is too loose. Check chain tension

and adjust if necessary (See Page 14).2. Improper assembly or misalignment of housing.

Loosen housing connection(s) that are source ofnoise and disassemble, Check for end smoothnessand grind if necessary.

3. Sprockets at intake or discharge end may be offcenter. Check the set screw in the sprocket toensure that it is tight.

Belt Slippage on Drive Belts1. Incorrect belt tension. Use the adjustment rods to

set proper belt tension (See Page 15),2. Unit is plugged. Shutdown and lockout power

source. Clean the grain and any obstructions fromthe machine.

Grain Returning to the Intake End Through theTop of the Unit1. The discharge spout may be mounted backwards.

Spout must be mounted so it slopes back towardsthe main body of the conveyor.

2. Partially blocked discharge. Shutdown and lockoutpower source, remove obstruction.

Unit not Running to Full Capacity1. Grain is high in moisture. A low capacity will likely

be achieved with high moisture grain. Excessivefeeding of high moisture grain can cause plugging.

2. Chain speed is too low. See recommendedhorsepower requirements chart on Page 5.

3. Obstruction at intake. Shutdown and lockout powersource, remove obstruction.

Paddle Breaking or Bending1. Paddles may be coming loose from the chain. Keep

paddles securely fastened to chain.2. Housing misalignment.3. Frequent starts under loads. Allow machine to clean

out before shutting down.4. Sprockets at intake or discharge may be off center.

Align in center of housing.5. Overfeeding. Adjust the feeding of the conveyor to

allow less grain to enter while maintaining full speed.

TUBING LAYOUT

WARNING! Do Not rely solely onhydraulic or mechanical jacks, or thehoist for support. Always use jack standsor equivalent for support.Keep hands, legs and other body partsout from under the conveyor whenconveyor is being raised by the hoistor other means.Some parts are heavy, use assistancewith lifting and while assembling theseparts.Wear the proper personal protectivegear (ie. safety glasses, ear protection,gloves, etc.).Keep the assembly and work area cleanand free of tools and objects whichcould cause unsafe situations.Electric motors and controls shall beinstalled by a qualified electrician andmust meet the standards set by theNational Electric Code and all local andstate codes.

Choose an open level area accessible to a hoist orother lifting device where the conveyor can be laid outin full length.It will be convenient for assembly if the sections areplaced on stands or saw horses. Be sure the stands orsaw horses can support the weight of the conveyor tubesections. A stand height of 36” is recommended.Before beginning assembly it is suggested to readthrough the assembly instructions in this manual andlay out all items from the kits to ensure all parts areaccounted for.This not only helps you become familiar with the partsand assembly procedures, but also makes you awareof what tools, equipment or materials you may need tocomplete the assembly process.

1. Position the tube sections in their respective orderas shown in the following illustrations.

TUBE SECTION ASSEMBLY (con’t.)

2. With the tubing sections laid out, determine thelocation of your drops and inlets. NOTE: Conveyormust be adequately supported to be rigid andstraight. Supports should be adequate on 20’centers, a maximum span is 30’.

3. Connect the tube sections together using theprovided connecting bands. Make sure the endsof the tube sections are contacting each other andhalf the connecting band is clamping each tube.Position the connecting band with the flanged edgesto the side of the tube. Note the flanged edges,one flange overhangs (protrudes) further than theother (See Fig. 7). Position the connecting bandso this flange is on top (this will help shed waterand not direct it into the tube).

4. Use eight (8) 3/8” x 1 1/2” long bolts and non-locknuts to secure the connecting bands to the tubes.Do Not tighten any bolts until all bolts have beeninstalled. Snug the bolts until they are flush withthe bands. Tighten all bolts starting in the middleand working to one end, then start again on thenext middle bolt and tighten to the other end.Repeat this process until all bolts are tight and theflanged edges are tight against each other.IMPORTANT! The overhangs on the flanges aremeant to be tight against each other, but Do Nottighten so tight that the flanges are crushed andbecome deformed.

CHAIN & PADDLE ASSEMBLY(48 pitch chain lengths)

1. Remove the screen from the top of the inlet hopperand open the access door on front of the headsection.

2. Attach the chain lengths together using the providedconnecting links.

3. Attach the paddles to the mounting brackets weldedto the chain using two 5/16” x 1 1/2” bolts, two flatwashers and two nylon locknuts. (Do Notovertighten the bolts. Excessive tightening candeform the paddles. Recommended torque forpaddle bolts is 15 to 20 ft. lbs.).

IMPORTANT! The chain model number is stampedon the side of the chain links. Be sure that all of theconveyor chain sections are the same.NOTE: One chain assembly will be routed throughthe top tubing sections and another chain assemblythrough the bottom tubing sections. They will thenbe joined together at the discharge and inlet ends.Determine the approximate length of chain needed toreach from the head section to the inlet hopper. Thechains can be assembled as the entire length androuted through, or begin with one section of chain,partially pull this section through the head, then addanother length of chain to this one, pull this length ofchains partially through, add another length and soon, until the chain reaches the inlet hopper.

5. Note the position of the paddle in the bottom tubeas shown below (the mounting bracket needs tobe on the back side of the paddle as grain is beingpushed to the discharge end). Insert the chain andpaddles through the head section and over thesprocket. Route chain down to inlet hopper. Becareful not to twist the chain when feeding throughthe tube sections. To check for twisted conveyorchain, put a light in the boot section and look intothe tube from the head section.Insert the next chain assembly through the bottomtubing section and route to the inlet hopper.

6. Connect the chain assemblies together at the headsection and at the inlet hopper using the connectinglinks provided.

7. Adjust the chain tension as outlined in themaintenance section on Page 14.

8. Check the sprockets at the intake and dischargeends to ensure they are centered in the housing.Also check setscrews in sprocket hubs to see ifthey are tight securing the sprockets to the shaft.

4. Route a wire or strong rope through the top sectionof tubing so it reaches from the head section to theinlet hopper (this wire or rope needs to be strongenough to pull the weight of the chain through thetubing sections).
