MATERIAL TRANSFER SYSTEM INTRODUCTION: The FINN corporation would like to thank you for your latest FINN purchase. In our efforts to main- tain a quality and growing relationship with each customer, we would like to encourage you to contact us for help with service, genuine replacement parts, or any other information you may require. This manual gives you step-by-step instructions for the operation and maintenance of the FINN MTS.
PRE-START EQUIPMENT CHECK: WARNING Equipment check is made with the engine off and all rotating parts stopped. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury. Safety check to ensure operator safety: 1. Ensure that bolts on the hitch, safety chains, lights, brakes, and breakaway switch are all in proper working order.
CONTROLS: Your MTS is equipped with three separate control stations. The main control box is located on the curb side of the unit and allows the operator to control all functions regarding the movement of either belt floor (See Figure 3). Also at the main control box is the ignition switch for the engine (1), with throttle cable and choke control (2), as well as control for the tarp (3).
On the hydraulic valve are knobs that allow the operator to adjust the speed setting on the main floor, as well as the side conveyor (See Figure 6). Turning the knob into the valve slows the function down, while turning the knob out of the valve will increase the speed of the function. SIDE CONVEYOR MAIN FLOOR CURB SIDE...
TRACKING A CONVEYOR BELT: 1. The basic rule of tracking a conveyor belt is the belt moves toward that end of the roll/idler that it contacts first. The reader can demostrate this rule very simply by laying a round pencil on a flat surface in a skewed position.
6. Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM The hydraulic system on your FINN MTS is designed to give trouble-free service, when properly main- tained. The most important areas of maintenance are the hydraulic oil and filtration. The reservoir holds 20 gal (76 L) of Mobil DTE-13M hydraulic fluid.
CONVEYOR BELT ASSEMBLY AND SERVICE BREAK-IN AND ADJUSTMENT OF CONVEYOR BELTS the conveyor belts in the MTS have been pre-tensioned by the factory, prior to delivery, but due to a stretch factor of up to 1-1/2%, will need to be retensioned after the initial use and possibly, after the first few uses.
MEASUREMENTS At this approximate location, take a measurement between the underside of the belt and top rail, as shown below. A properly tensioned floor should be between 3-3/8 in. and 3-1/2 in. (See figure 10 below.) 102-1/16" 102-1/16" 3-3/8" - 3-1/2" FIGURE 10 Figure 3 FLOOR...
