INTRODUCTION
This manual provides guidelines and procedures for installing, operating,
and maintaining your conveyor. A complete parts list is provided with rec-
ommended spare parts highlighted in gray. Important safety information is
also provided throughout the manual. For safety to personnel and for proper
operation of your conveyor, it is recommended that you read and follow the
instructions provided in this manual.
• Receiving and Uncrating
1. Check the number of items received against the bill of lading.
2. Examine condition of equipment to determine if any damage
occurred during shipment.
3. Move all crates to area of installation.
4. Remove crating and check for optional equipment that may be fastened to
the conveyor. Make sure these parts (or any foreign pieces) are removed.
• How to Order Replacement Parts
Included in this manual are parts drawings with complete replacement parts
lists. Minor fasteners, such as nuts and bolts, are not included.
When ordering replacement parts:
1. Contact Dealer from whom conveyor was purchased or nearest HYTROL
Integration Partner.
2. Give Conveyor Model Number and Serial Number or HYTROL Factory
Order Number.
3. Give Part Number and complete description from Parts List.

SAFETY INFORMATION
• Installation
GUARDS AND GUARDING
Interfacing of Equipment. When two or more pieces of equipment are
interfaced, special attention shall be given to the interfaced area to insure the
presence of adequate guarding and safety devices.
Guarding Exceptions. Whenever conditions prevail that would require
guarding under these standards, but such guarding would render the conveyor
unusable, prominent warning means shall be provided in the area or on the
equipment in lieu of guarding.
Guarded by Location or Position. Where necessary for the protection of
employees from hazards, all exposed moving machinery parts that present a
hazard to employees at their work station shall be mechanically or electrically
guarded, or guarded by location or position.
Remoteness from frequent presence of public or employed personnel shall constitute guarding by location.
When a conveyor passes over a walkway, roadway, or work station, it is considered guarded solely by location or position if all moving parts are
at least 8 ft. (2.44 m) above the floor or walking surface or are otherwise
located so that the employee cannot inadvertently come in contact with
hazardous moving parts.
Although overhead conveyors may be guarded by location, spill guards, pan guards, or equivalent shall be provided if the product may fall off the
conveyor for any reason and if personnel would be endangered.
HEADROOM
When conveyors are installed above exit passageways, aisles, or corridors, there shall be provided a minimum clearance of 6 ft. 8 in.
(2.032 m) measured vertically from the floor or or walking surface to the
lowest part of the conveyor or guards.
Where system function will be impaired by providing the minimum clearance of 6 ft. 8 in. (2.032 m) through an emergency clearance,
alternate passageways shall be provided.
It is permissible to allow passage under conveyors with less that 6 ft. 8 in. (2.032 m) clearance from the floor for other than emergency exits if a
suitable warning indicates low headroom.
• Operation
A) Only trained employees shall be permitted to operate conveyors. Training
shall include instruction in operation under normal conditions and emergency
situations.
B) Where employee safety is dependent upon stopping and/or starting
devices, they shall be kept free of obstructions to permit ready access.
C) The area around loading and unloading points shall be kept clear of
obstructions which could endanger personnel.
D) No person shall ride the load-carrying element of a conveyor under any
circumstances unless that person is specifically authorized by the owner or
employer to do so. Under those circumstances, such employee shall only
ride a conveyor which incorporates within its supporting structure platforms
or control stations specifically designed for carrying personnel. Under no
circumstances shall any person ride on any element of a vertical conveyor.
E) Personnel working on or near a conveyor shall be instructed as to the
location and operation of pertinent stopping devices.
F) A conveyor shall be used to transport only material it is capable of handling
safely.
G) Under no circumstances shall the safety characteristics of the conveyor be
altered if such alterations would endanger personnel.
H) Routine inspections and preventive and corrective maintenance programs
shall be conducted to insure that all safety features and devices are retained
and function properly.
I) Personnel should be alerted to the potential hazard of entanglement in
conveyors caused by items such as long hair, loose clothing, and jewelry.
J) Conveyors shall not be maintained or serviced while in operation unless
proper maintenance or service requires the conveyor to be in motion. In this
case, personnel shall be made aware of the hazards and how the task may
be safely accomplished.
K) Owners of conveyor should insure proper safety labels are affixed to
the conveyor warning of particular hazards involved in operation of their
conveyors.
• Maintenance
All maintenance, including lubrication and adjustments, shall be performed only by qualified and trained personnel.
It is important that a maintenance program be established to insure that all conveyor components are maintained in a condition which does not
constitute a hazard to personnel.
When a conveyor is stopped for maintenance purposes, starting devices or powered accessories shall be locked or tagged out in accordance
with a formalized procedure designed to protect all persons or groups
involved with the conveyor against an unexpected start.
Replace all safety devices and guards before starting equipment for normal operation.
Whenever practical, DO NOT lubricate conveyors while they are in motion. Only trained personnel who are aware of the hazard of the
conveyor in motion shall be allowed to lubricate.
Safety Guards
Maintain all guards and safety devices IN POSITION and IN SAFE REPAIR.
• Safety Labels
In an effort to reduce the possibility of injury to personnel working around
HYTROL conveying equipment, safety labels are placed at various points on
the equipment to alert them of potential hazards. Please check equipment
and note all safety labels. Make certain your personnel are alerted to and
obey these warnings. See Safety Manual for examples of warning labels.
CAUTION! Because of the many moving parts on the conveyor, all
personnel in the area of the conveyor need to be warned that the conveyor
is about to be started.
CAUTION! Only trained personnel should track a conveyor belt which must
be done while conveyor is in operation. DO NOT attempt to track belt if
conveyor is loaded.
Remember Do not remove, reuse or modify material handling equipment for
any purpose other than it’s original intended use.

INSTALLATION
• Support Installation
1. Determine primary direction of prod-
uct flow. Figure 4A indicates the pre-
ferred flow as related to the drive.
2. Refer to “Match-Mark” numbers on
ends of conveyor sections. (Figure 4A)
Position them in this sequence near the
area of installation.
3. Attach supports to both ends of drive
section and to one end of intermediate
or tail sections (Figure 4A). Hand tighten
bolts only at this time.
4. Adjust elevation to required height.
• Ceiling Hanger Installation
If conveyors are to be used in an overhead application, ceiling hangers may
have been supplied in place of floor supports.
Figure 4B shows how a ceiling hanger mounts to a conveyor section. Ceiling
hangers should be mounted at section joints. For safety information concern-
ing conveyors mounted overhead, refer to “Installation Safety Precautions”
on Page 3.

Figure 5. Page 5 for Instructions on How To Square The Beds. Bed sec-
tions must be square in order for the belt to track properly.
5. Fasten sections together with butt couplings and pivot plates (Figure 4C.
Hand tighten bolts only at this time.
6. Tighten all butt coupling and support mounting bolts and lag conveyor
to floor.
7. Connect air lines and cordsets at section joints as shown in Figure 4E.
8. Connect main air supply line to Filter/Regulator (Figure 4D).

Frequently asked questions

Make minor adjustments (1/16 in. at a time) to snub idlers, ensuring all pulleys and idlers are square with the conveyor bed. Allow several revolutions for the belt to react.

Lubricate every 2080 hours of operation or every 6 months, whichever comes first, using a good grade of non-detergent petroleum or synthetic lubricant.

Check for overloading, inspect the heater/circuit breaker, and ensure adequate voltage to the motor.

Contact your Hytrol Integration Partner or the dealer from whom you purchased the conveyor, providing the model number, serial number, part number, and description.
