Adjusting The Conveyor Belt Tracking - Haybuster H-1130 Operating Instructions And Parts Reference

2.13 Adjusting the conveyor belt tracking

A.
When a new belt is installed: Use only genuine DuraTech Industries parts.
1. Begin by adjusting the drive roller so that the mounting bearings are the same distance from the
end of the conveyor frame. This ensures that the roller centerline is square with conveyor frame.
Adjust the idler roller tension bolts so that they are equal on both sides of the conveyor.
B.
If the belt is running to the right side, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the idler roller tension bolt on the right side of the conveyor. Increase tension by approxi-
mately 2 full turns of the adjusting nut.
2. Make certain that all personnel are clear of machine and the start engine. Engage the tractor PTO.
NOTE: The rotor will also be turning.
3. Observe conveyor belt tracking from a safe location.
4. If further adjustment is required, disengage tractor PTO, and shut down the machine using the
normal shutdown procedure.
5. Some adjustment of the drive roller may be required if no improvement is noted by increasing the
idler roller tension.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 until proper tracking is achieved.
C. If the belt is running to the left side, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the idler roller tension bolt on the left side of the conveyor. Increase the tension by ap-
proximately 2 full turns of the adjusting nut.
2. Make certain that all personnel are clear of machine and start engine. Engage the tractor PTO.
3. Observe the tracking of the conveyor belt from a safe location.
4. If further adjustment is required, disengage tractor PTO
and shutdown using the normal shutdown procedure.
5. Some adjustment of the drive roller may be required if no
improvement is noted by increasing the idler roller tension.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 until proper tracking is achieved.
