RECEIVING
Immediately upon receipt all items in the conveyor or component shipment should be checked against
shipping papers for shortages and inspected for damage. Items to be checked include bent or dented
troughs, covers, flights, chain, guards, drives, etc. Note claims for damaged parts on shippers and
immediately file a claim. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL A DAMAGED ITEM OR CONVEYOR.
LIFTING AND MOVING
Extreme care must be taken to prevent damage when moving assembled conveyors or components.
Spreader bars with slings are the recommended support method for lifting. The unsupported span should be
no longer than 10 to 12 feet. Never lift a conveyor with only one support point. Unusually heavy items such
as drives or gates shall be considered when choosing support points because of load balance and their
bending effect.
ASSEMBLY
The above diagram is representative only. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to consult contract
drawings for specific items on each conveyor.
For safety and proper operation drag conveyors must be assembled and erected straight and true. It is the
responsibility of the purchaser to insure all support and mounting surfaces are level and true so there is no
distortion in the conveyor.
All component pieces (or conveyor sections) should be placed in proper sequence before assembly
is started
