Step 2; Locate the conveyor platform onto the pivot shaft positioned to the bottom
left of the drum. Slip the conveyor belt onto the nylon drive roller and around the
platform nose roller, with the platform rotated to the 10 o'clock position. Set the platform
down so that it rest on the round conveyor stop and lock in place using the hand knob
provided. Fit the scraper wire assembly into the support brackets on the nose of the
conveyor and adjust the tension.
Step 3; Ensure the hopper sealing ring is pressed firmly into its retaining slot in
the machine top. Slacken the four hopper securing knobs on the top of the machine. Place
the hopper into the top machined recess on the hopper seal and rotate such that the hopper
securing lugs engage with the hand knob studs. Secure the hopper in place by tightening
the hand knobs.
Note: the hopper will only locate in one position with the hopper bars towards the front
right of the machine.
Always ensure the hopper is loaded correctly onto the seal in the hopper top.
Check the hopper bar is secure in the hopper. If it has been removed for any reason when
it is replaced use locktight to lock in position.
Step 4; Position the chosen paddles onto the paddle shaft at the top of the
machine, ensuring the keyways are aligned, and secure in place with paddle knob.
Step 5; The scraper shaft assembly (not shown) locates into the housing on the left
hand side of the drum. Before assembling the scraper shaft, ensure that the shaft locking
screw is clear of the housing bore. Push home the assembly so that the wire support bar
nearest the front of the machine engages in the housing slot. To ensure alignment in the
housing slot it will be necessary to rotate the housing clockwise with the aid of the
locking screw. When in position secure with locking screw.
The working position of the scraper, although factory set, can be adjusted with a grub
screw. This is located under a bung on the left hand side of the machine. The tension of
the scraper wire can be adjusted by rotating the front scraper bar hand knob.
