3 Functional description The conveyor is powered by an adjustable gear motor (type G). The motor drives the cardan shaft with a chain underneath the conveyor. This cardan shaft drives the drive rollers of the belt with an angle gear and gear wheels. The clutch belt (type J) does not have a motor, it needs to be clutched on Type G, it is driven by that.

2 General safety instructions 1 Due diligence of the operating company Mayer conveyor belts – 1417,1421,1425,1430,1435 – are designed and built taking a danger analysis into consideration and after careful selection of the harmonised standards to be complied with as well as other specifications.
• • The conveyor may not be started if any safety In the working area the operator is responsible devices have been removed. for other people. • • Local safety accident-prevention In case of non-compliance with any one of regulations always apply to any operation of the the points cited above, the manufacturer conveyor.
3 Basic safety precautions Always be sure that: • The conveyor belt may only be used when it is plugged into the jack of the potting machine. • It is not allowed to reach into rotating or running components. It is only allowed to take pots down.

Responsibilities for the various activities must be It is forbidden to sit on or to transport persons on the clearly defined and complied with. conveyor! Unclear competencies represent a safety risk.
Frequency converters can cause fault currents that are not detected by means of a standard soil leakage circuit breaker. Therefore, the conveyor may be operated with an AC/DC sensitive RCCB (residual-current circuit-breaker) only. Frequency converters have built-in capacitors that discharge after switching off the conveyor.
Transport, handling, storage To prevent damage to the conveyor as well as When transporting the conveyor, the following injuries while transporting the conveyor, it is special dangers must be expected: essential to comply with the following points: • • Transport work may only be carried out by Suspended loads can drop, which would be a lethal danger –...
2 Handling The conveyor may only be moved when it is switched off and without load. Moving the conveyor may be done by hands easily. Three people are required for handling to avoid accidents. Ideal lifting points are at the ends of the belt. The drive belt (type G) must be lifted by at least three people, the clutch belt (type J) must be lifted by two people.
Installation 1 General notes To protect the conveyor against damages caused by weather it is suggested to use and store it inside. Electrical connection: 400V/50Hz. Connection is permitted only to socket-outlets which are protected by an AC/DC sensitive RCCB (residual-current circuit- breaker).
2 Installing the conveyor The conveyor (type G, J) with cardan shaft can be operated in the following way: • The tensioning end of the conveyor belt is hooked into the pivot bearing of the potting machine, the other end is fixed by a supporting leg.
Attention! If a longer assembly line is needed, two drive units (type G) can be set up in the line, but in this case the drive axle between the drive units must not be connected mechanically. In this case, the sleeve with the gear coupling must be dismantled.
5 Initial start-up It is essential to comply with the following safety instructions for the initial start-up of the conveyor. This will prevent injuries to individuals, damages to machinery and other property damages. • The initial start-up may only be carried out by qualified individuals, complying with the safety instructions.
2 Starting the conveyor for the first time After reassembly the conveyor shall be checked as per the following: On conveyors with an adjustable geared motor there is a wheel (3). The speed of the belt can be adjusted with this wheel. Be sure no foreign materials, or tools are left on the Adjust the speed of the conveyor only if the belt.
3 Stopping the conveyor There are two ways to switch off the conveyor: In normal case switching „Stop” stops the conveyor. In emergency case „Emergency Stop” on the potting machine or on the conveyor switches the conveyor off.
6 Operating instructions 1 Settings Adjusting height • Setting the proper height must always be done with empty belt. Avoid any extra load on the conveyor as it can cause difficulties with setting height. • • Adjusting height must be performed by at least two persons. One person should hold the belt, the other one should loosen screws needed for setting height.

case the support leg must be fixed to the side of conveyor by M10x10 screws and M10 sliding nuts. • Together with several belts in a line: after installing the first belt, the tensioning station of the additional conveyor belt is hooked into the drive station of the first belt.
3 Shutting down the conveyor The conveyor belt can be stopped in two ways: The rotation direction switch turned into position 0 stops the conveyor. When it is switched in position 1 or 2 the conveyor starts again. In case of emergency the conveyor can be switched off by the ‘Emergency cut-off’...
7 Malfunctions To prevent damage to the conveyor as well as injuries while eliminating malfunctions at the conveyor, it is essential to comply with the following points: • Eliminate a malfunction only if you have the qualification specified to do so. •...
