Material is bridging at inlet.

Motor not developing operational RPM.

Material caked on buckets.

Correct method of feeding to insureeven feed at elevator's rated capacity.

Correct power source problem.

Clean buckets.

2. Unit stalls or plugs up.

Belt has to o much slack causing bucke tsto jam.

Motor not developing operational RPM.

Discharge spout or down spoutingplugged.

Slipping drive.

Make adjustment at take-up bolts.

Correct power source problem.

Check a ll spouting fo r foreign m aterial,build-up, dents and turns which mayimpede material flow.

Adju st driv e belt s and roller c haintension.

3. Noisy ope ration, i.e.,buckets rattling.

Elevator out of plumb.

Belt too loose or not centered on pulleys.

Material caked on pul leys.

Damaged or loose buckets.

Straighten elevator and plum b.Position braces so elevator is notforced out of alignment when attachedto structu res which ma y shift withloading or unloading.

Service PlatformAssembly InstructionsFigure #3

STEP 1. Refer to Figure 3.Remove support plate "F" and place headsection on platform"B". Bolt head section to theplatform on the short side flange (UP leg side)using 3/8" x 1 1/2" HHCS, flat washers, and hexnylock nuts. Replace support plate "F" usingexisting bolts and bolt on top of head sectionflange (DOWN leg side) using 3/8" x 1 1/2"HHCS, flat washers, and hex nuts.

STEP 2. Refer to Figure 3.Install braces "A"to service platform "B"using1/2" x 1 1/4" HHCS, flat washers, and hex nylock

nuts. Bolt the four (4) hand rails"C"and two (2)hand rails "D" to braces "A" as shown using1/2"x 1 1/4" HHCS, flat washers, and hex nylocknuts. Bolt the two (2) upper short rails "E" tobrace "A"and head section using 1/2" x 1 1/4"HHCS, flat washers, and hex nylock nuts. Boltthe two (2) hand rail brackets "G" to the headsection end as shown using existing hardware.

Attach the two (2) lower short rails "E"to brace"A" and to brackets "G" using 1/2" x 1 1/4"HHCS, flat washers, and hex nylock nuts.

STEP 3. Refer to Figure 3.Attach ladder extensions"H"to the motor mountusing 1/2" x 2 1/2" HHCS, flat washers, and hexnylock nuts. Bolt the lower end of extensions tothe top hole of bracket on platform using 1/2" x 11/4" carriage bolt and hex nylock nuts.

STEP 4. Refer to Figure 3.If ladder extension brackets"I"are required, boltplatform brackets "J"to platform using 1/2" x 11/2" HHCS and hex nylock nuts. Attach brackets"I"to ladder extensions "H"with 1/2" x 1 1/4"HHCS, flat washers, and hex nylock nuts. Bolt

the lower end of extensions to brackets "I"with1/2" x 1 1/4" carriage bolts and hex nylock nuts.

Ladder & Cage Assembly Instructions

Figure #4

STEP 1. Refer to Figure 4.Attach ladder bracket "B"to mid section on topof flange using 3/8" x 1 1/4" HHCS and hex nuts.Select the ladder "A" that corresponds to thelength of mid section on which the ladder is beinginstalled and bolt to bracket "B"using 1/2" x 11/2" carriage bolts and hex nylock nuts.

STEP 2. Refer to Figure 5.Assemble cage rings "A", "B", & "C" to cagestraps "D"as shown using 1/2" x 1 1/4" carriagebolts and hex nylock nuts.

STEP 3. Refer to Figure 5.Bolt the assembled cage to ladders as shownusing 1/2" x 1 1/2" carriage bolts and hex nylocknuts.

STEP 4. Refer to Figure 6.If ladder extension is applicable, bolt brackets"B" & "C" to ladder "A" using 1/2" x 1 1/2"carriage bolts and hex nylock nuts. Bolt theupper ends of ladder to lower ladder bracket"D"using 1/2" x 1 1/2" carriage bolts and hex nylocknuts. Secure extension ladder to elevator bybolting brackets "B" & "C" to flange on bootsection.

Bucket and Belt Assembly

STEP 1. Refer to Figure 7.Lay belt out on the ground or floor. Positionbuckets on the belt as they will be attached.

Attach each bucket to the belt with five (5)flathead elevator bolts. Tighten the bolts so theflathead is pulled tight and is flush with the backside of the belt.

Figure #7

STEP 2. Refer to Figure 8.Remove the input hopper panel from the bootsection and the observation door from the headsection.

STEP 3. Refer to Figure 8.Adjust take-up bolts to raise the boot pulley to thehighest position. Loop a rope over the headpulley and down throught the elevator. Attachone end to the belt and bucketassembly and pass the other endunder the boot pulley.

STEP 4. Refer to Figure 8.Pull the belt assembly into theelevator, up over the head pulley anddown under the boot pulley. Be surethe buckets are properly oriented.Position belt assembly so it can bespliced at the boot section whereinput hopper panel is removed. (SeeFig. 9.)

STEP 5. Refer to Figure 10.Pull the belt ends together andassemble the belt splice as shown.

STEP 6. Refer to Figure 11.Belt tension is set by the two stainless

steel take-up bolts which position the bootpulley. Tighten the boot pulley evenly until thebars of the pulley begin to form slight ridgesacross the belt and the belt has a flat tautappearance between the pulley bars. Theelevator pulleys are crowned to cause the beltto run center. Uneven adjustment, however,may cause the belt to run to one side.Normally it runs to the loose side. If the beltruns to one side tighten the side to which it isrunning or loosen the opposite side.
