The installation description below describes the installation of 2 1/2" pitch hinged steel belting. On installations of larger
pitch belts, (4" pitch or 6" pitch) it is common to feed the belt, if room allows, onto the top (carrying) track at the infeed.
1. Prior to installing the belt, adjust the drive shaft (and infeed shaft if adjustable) toward the center of the conveyor.
See FIGURE 3. Check to make sure the drive and infeed shafts are parallel to each other.
2. Attach an angle or bar across the bottom of the discharge. See FIGURE 3. This provides a rest and guide for the
belt during installation.
NOTE: If the belt is fed in by hand, you must disconnect the drive chain so the belt sprockets will
rotate freely.

Make sure that the belt drive sprockets are securely fastened to the drive
shaft. Also make sure that the sprockets are the correct distance apart
for proper engagement with the belt rollers.
Check that the sprockets are in axial alignment so that the sprocket teeth
engage the rollers on either side of the belt at the same time.
Check that the frame is free of any protrusions, like welds, which may keep
the belt from running into the frame smoothly.
Look for, and remove, any foreign objects (nuts, bolts, tools, etc.) from
the frame and tracks.
