Adjusting the belt

ATTENTION
NOTE
The conveyor system is to be connected to the mains to align and adjust the belt.
To align and adjust the belt, proceed as follows:
§
Switch on the conveyor system and allow the belt to start slowly and carefully running (at most the
level three).
§
Adjust the movement of the belt by turning the tensioning nuts on the threaded rods at the deflection.
When adjusting, turn the tensioning nuts only slightly. A ¼ of a turn is usually enough.
§
The belt moves always to the side of the smallest clearance of the axles. It is the side where the drive
drum and the deflection pulley are closer together.

If the belt runs to the right, so you have to stretch the right side (2) or to release the left side (1).

DANGER
§
After the belt has been taken out of operation, you can fit back the limit boxes and other removed
parts. Screw and fasten the counter nuts on the threaded rods.
§
Switch on the conveyor system and allow the belt to start slowly and carefully running.
§
Pay attention to the proper run of the belt and unusual noises. The belt may not drag along the top of
the belt system, the limit boxes or other parts.
After you have made all settings you can put the conveyor system into operation. There should be no loads
on the system while putting it into operation. This is the only way to detect causes of initial start-up
difficulties.

Rotating machine parts
There is a risk of crush injuries and injuries caused by being pulled into the
appliance when adjusting the drive drum.
Never catch the running belt and never wear wide clothes while aligning or
adjusting the drive drum.
Adjusting the belt
Before adjusting 2 members of the staff should keep watching the belt and
switch it off immediately if necessary, for instance, if the belt is running out of
the area of the drive drum or the belt is dragging along the surface of the
conveyor system.
The belt runs obliquely
Hazardous electrical voltage
The electrical voltage may be considerably dangerous to limb and life of
persons and lead to injuries.
All work on electrical installations or operating materials should only be
carried out by a certified electrician or by trained personnel under supervision
and monitoring of a certified electrician according to the certain electro-
technical regulations.
Switch off the conveyor system and secure it against unintended reactivation
after the belt has been adjusted.
