How to Install the Belt
To install a new belt, reverse the above instructions, but
keep in mind the following important notes and
instructions.
I
MPORTANT: The conveyor belt is designed to work
primarily in one direction. Ensure that the painted
arrow in the middle of the belt is pointing towards the
rear of the MH-400 (looking down from above).
I
MPORTANT: Before sliding the rear drive roller back
up through the slot and into place, ensure that you
have already installed the four bolts (from the inside
facing out) for connecting the pillow block bearings.
Otherwise, you will have to remove the drive roller to
gain enough clearance to install these bolts.
When installing the rear drive roller, ensure that the shaft
connecting to the motor is on the left side. It has a
keyhole cut into it for securing the drive sprocket.
Before applying tension with the tensioner rods at the
front of the MH-400, use your hands to manually center
the belt at the front and rear.
Track and tension the belt by following the instructions in
the Maintenance section of the Operator’s Manual.
The front idler and rear drive rollers provide excellent
traction for pulling the belt under load, so do not over-
tighten or stretch the belt.
Apply silicone sealer to the rear side of the metal rails
and at the two front corners of the floor where the rails
meet. The sealer deflects any material from getting past
the rails.
