Note: ensure proper PPE usage when performing this step;...
  • Page 73 Office: 705-728-4868 Fax: 705-728-2047 www.sticonveyor.com 10. Once the Fire Clamps reach the drive frame, stop the drill. Clamp the ropes on each belt to an I-beam (as close to the idler frame as possible): this will stop the belt from springing backwards when tension is released.
  • Page 74 Office: 705-728-4868 Fax: 705-728-2047 www.sticonveyor.com 12. Lay out and assemble the next layer of both belts. 13. Reattach the Fire Clamps, winches, and ropes. Carefully re-tension the belt (just remove the slack from the belt – do not pull to working tension).
