General NOTE Before starting work on the cleaner or the conveyor, these operating instructions must be read and understood completely 1.1 About these operating instructions These operating instructions apply solely for cleaners and are intended for those persons who install cleaners, commission them, and monitor their usage. The operating instructions must be kept for the lifetime of the cleaners and must be made available in an orderly condition to all persons entrusted with work with and on the cleaners.
1.2 General information on cleaners Cleaners are used in the discharge area of the belt conveyor to remove adhering bulk material from conveyor belts. The cleaning result is increased by using multiple cleaners. Pre-cleaners are installed at the head pulley, below the discharge parabola of the bulk material.
1.4 Use in hazardous areas according to the ATEX directive The standard version of the cleaner is NOT suitable for use in hazardous areas. Martin Engineering offers special product variants that are suitable for use in ATEX zones 22 and 21 under certain circumstances. These product variants...

Safety 2.1 General safety instructions DANGER Entanglement in conveyor belt Clothing or body parts can become entangled in the conveyor and cause serious or fatal injuries. Tensions may be released in the conveyor belt and cause movement of the bulk material without prior detection.
2.2 Personal protective equipment Persons carrying out work on cleaners must wear suitable personal protective equipment. Minimum requirements: Symbol Meaning Wear head and eye protection. Wear at least ankle-high foot protection. Use gloves. Use fall protection. 2.3 Safety markings on the system The safety markings on the cleaners must be kept in good condition and clearly visible at all times.
2.4 Special safety instructions for usage in ATEX areas DANGER Usage in ATEX zones 22 and 21 Combustible dust can cause explosions and thus cause serious or fatal injuries. Ensure that all explosion-related parameters and operating modes are observed. ...

5.1 Locating belt cleaner On both sides of chute, find pulley center point (A). Measure radius of head pulley including lagging and belt thickness (B). To this dimension, add dimension X from Figure 6. On the far side of chute, start from center point (A), measure the total distance calculated in step 2 (B + X), and draw an arc on chute wall.
