Read entire section before beginning work.
To install the belt cleaner, follow the procedures corresponding to the
following steps:
If installation is to be done in an enclosed area, test
atmosphere for gas level or dust content. Follow all welding
and safety guidelines. Protect belt surface from weld splatter
with appropriate shield.
For original equipment installation, where cleaner cutouts
and brackets have been fabricated into the chute during
construction, ignore steps 1, 2, and 3.
Solid backing of the blade is essential to ensure proper
operation and efficient cleaning. Install the cleaner adjacent to
the head pulley or a flat pressure roller to obtain best cleaning
results. See Figure 2.
For installation on enclosed head pulley chutework, draw all
dimension lines on chute wall. In applications where head
pulley is not enclosed, use the best available field resources
and/or methods to ensure that these critical dimensions are
followed for a proper installation.
1. If using spring tensioner, determine how much space is available for
spring tensioner installation. If necessary, convert bottom mount spring
tensioner to top mount before installing. See Figure 1.
