Before Installing Belt Cleaner
Martin Engineering M3722-11/12
The delivery service is responsible for damage occurring in
transit. Martin Engineering CANNOT enter claims for
damages. Contact your transportation agent for more
information.
1. Inspect shipping container for damage. Report damage to delivery service
immediately and fill out delivery service's claim form. Keep any damaged
goods subject to examination.
2. Remove belt cleaner assembly from shipping container.
3. If anything is missing contact Martin Engineering or a representative.
Before installing equipment, turn off and lock out/ tag out all
energy sources to the conveyor and conveyor accessories
according to ANSI standards. Failure to do so could result in
serious injury or death.
4. Turn off and lock out/tag out energy source according to ANSI standards
(see "References").
If this equipment will be installed in an enclosed area, test the
gas level or dust content before using a cutting torch or
welding. Using a torch or welding in an area with gas or dust
may cause an explosion resulting in serious injury or death.
5. If using a cutting torch or welding, test atmosphere for gas level or dust
content. Cover conveyor belt with fire retardant cover.
Center the belt cleaner blades to clean an area narrower than
the conveyor belt width. This allows for side-to-side
movement of the belt and prevents damage to the belt edge.
The chute wall that the tensioner will be located on is referred
to as the "operator side." The other side of the chute is
referred to as the "far side." (If installing dual tensioners, side
that is most accessible is "operator side.")
6. Determine which side of chute is easiest to access. Locate the tensioner
on the most accessible chute wall.
