PORTABLE GRAIN BELT CONVEYOR – STANDARD
2. Starting at one end of the conveyor, attach a pair of five-bolt end joiner plates (8) to the low truss tower
pair.
3. Thread a 1" hex nut (5) as far as possible onto the threaded rod end of a truss adjust tube (7). Refer to
Figure 31 on page 58 and
4. Insert the threaded rod end of the truss adjust tube (7) into the truss anchor bracket (4), and bolt the
opposite end to the five-bolt end joiner plates (8).
5. Thread a 1" locknut (6) a short distance onto the threaded rod end of the truss adjust tube (7).
6. According to the diagram for your specific model, work from one end of the tube toward the opposite end:
a. Install seven-bolt joiner plates (11) between truss tower pairs.
Note
When installing the seven-bolt joiner plates (11), ensure that the three 1/2" bolt holes are
closest to the hopper, and the 3/4" bolt hole is closest to the discharge spout.
b. Install truss tubes (10) between seven-bolt joiner plates (11).
c. Install long crossbraces (13).
d. When you reach the opposite end of the tube, install a pair of five-bolt end joiner plates (8) on the other
low truss tower pair and install the other truss adjust tube (7).
7. Working in a pattern so you do not forget any, tighten all the truss towers, then the truss tubes, and then
the crossbraces, but do not tighten the 1" nuts on the truss adjust tubes.
8. Install pairs of crossbrace clamps (15).
9. Adjust the 1" locknuts (6) on the truss adjust tubes until the truss tubes (10) are tight and the tube is
straight (i.e. appears flat and well aligned, and does not have any noticeable bow).
10. Rotate the loose 1" hex nuts (5) on the truss adjust tubes toward the 1" locknut until they are locked tightly
against their respective truss anchor brackets (4).
