OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•If you cannot lock off the power supply, unplug the conveyor from the
starter or main power supply or transformer.
•Visually inspect all external electrical connections.
•Check for materials jammed between the belt and conveyor structure.
•Check for material build up on any of the rollers or side guides.
•Ensure area under and adjacent to, the loading/tail section is clear of
debris.
•Check external belt scraper for tension (if fitted).
•Inspect belt & clip joints for damage and wear, also check the tension
of the belt, if you find any damage to the belt or joints, inform our service
department immediately so it can be dealt with ASAP to avoid
unnecessary & expensive damage.
•If the conveyor is on stands or scaffolding, check the tightness of all
bolts or scaffold clips. Clear out any debris or build-up of material from
the back and underside of the tail section.
•If the conveyor is on moveable castors, ensure that wheel brakes are
locked on before conveyor is started.
•Inspect the condition of the hopper rubber skirts (if fitted).
•Check E-stops are operating (if fitted).
•Check head guard is fitted securely (if applicable).
•Visually check on all nuts and bolts on rollers and feed hoppers.
WARNING!
ISOLATE AND LOCK-OFF SUPPLY BEFORE INSPECTION
ANY DEFECTS SHOULD BE
REPORTED IMMEDIATELY

Start-up procedure
•Switch on electrical supply (Either by switching on the transformer or
by plugging in the power lead).
•Give audible warning and check the discharge area of the conveyor
before turning on the conveyor.
•Press the green start button.
•Observe the operation and tracking of the belt.
(For adjusting points, see diagrams on page 5).
•Load conveyor steadily and commence operations.
Loading
•Conveyor only to be loaded at the feed hopper or at designated loading
points.
•Loading only to commence once the conveyor has been started.
•Feed hoppers to be fed evenly and steadily.
•When loading steeper conveyors some rollback will incur. Care must
be taken to ensure injury cannot be caused to the operator/loader by
large items coming off the end of the conveyor.
Shut down procedure
•Ensure belt is emptied, except in emergency stop conditions.
•Press the stop button
•Then switch off the power at the control isolator switch on main power
supply.
REMEMBER!
YOU ARE FEEDING A MOVING BELT, SO FEED
ACCORDINGLY AND THE CONVEYOR WILL WORK
VERY WELL.
OVERLOAD AND YOU WILL CAUSE BREAKDOWNS
WHICH IN TURN WILL COST YOU MONEY.
OVERLOADING WILL INEVITABLY CAUSE
JAMMING AND BREAKDOWNS, THEREFORE
CAUSING DOWNTIME ON SITE.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
For more detailed Routine maintenance see Pages 9 –20
Keep the conveyor clean, particularly under and around the loading section.
Belt
•Check belt tension and adjust if necessary by evenly tightening
adjusting nuts situated either side of the conveyor tail section.
(See details below)
•The correct tension is the minimum required to maintain drive to
the belt.
Gearbox
•Lubricated for life; check oil seals on output shaft for leaks.
•If the gearbox starts leaking please contact our service
department immediately.
TENSIONING &TRACKING POINTS
OVER TENSIONING WILL CAUSE BREAKDOWNS
THEREFORE DOWNTIME!

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Belt tracking over to one side at the tail section
STOP the conveyor and ISOLATE POWER SUPPLY. Remove the feed
hopper, release the tension off of the belt and ensure there is no build up
around the tail drum or any stones trapped between the drum and framework,
then test to ensure the drum runs freely. Also carry out visual check on bearing
condition (any play or noise) and if you find there is a problem contact your
supplier who will arrange for a service visit. If no problem is found, tension the
belt and connect the power and switch on, whilst the belt is running check the
tracking and adjust as necessary to centralise the belt on the drum (see Fig 2
on page 8), switch off and refit the feed hopper.
Belt tracks over at the head section
STOP the conveyor and ISOLATE POWER SUPPLY. Check the head unit for
any build up around the head drum or rollers and clear if found. Loosen the
four locating bolts (see diagrams on page 5, do not completely undo the nuts)
and make the necessary adjustments to centralise the belt (see Fig 1 on page
8), start the conveyor and check the position of the belt and make any final
adjustments, retighten the four locating bolts and lock off the adjusting stud.
Drive operating but the belt is stationary
ISOLATE POWER SUPPLY.Check moving parts are free from obstruction.
Tension the belt by adjusting the tension bolts evenly on the tail section.
(See diagrams on Page 5)
Restore the power and institute the start-up, check belt tracking and adjust as
necessary.
7
Motor cuts out
ISOLATE POWER SUPPLY.Check that nothing has jammed any moving
parts, particularly behind loading back guard. Contact your conveyor supplier
immediately.
Starter does not work
ISOLATE POWER SUPPLY. Check that the main fuse has not tripped, check
the power lead to ensure that no damage has occurred, unplug the lead from
the power socket, a competent electrician could check for loose or
disconnected wires within the plugs and sockets. If after this has been done
and you have reconnected the power it still fails to work, contact your supplier
service department for assistance.
Starter clicks but motor does not work
ISOLATE POWER SUPPLY. Check the plug from starter to motor for any
loose wires, check the wire for any damage. If damage has occurred or there
is no apparent damage, contact your supplier service department for
assistance.
Material jammed in conveyor under the receiving hopper
ISOLATE POWER SUPPLY to the conveyor. If the item cannot be removed
easily contact your supplier service department for assistance.
Noise
If the conveyor starts to make any form of noise other than the normal
operational noise, STOP AND ISOLATE the conveyor and check for
something jamming the conveyor. If you find anything, remove it, if the noise
persists, contact your supplier service department for assistance.
UNDER NO CURCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU
REPEATEDLY TRY TO START THE CONVEYOR, AS
THIS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS MOTOR DAMAGE!

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance checks are very important in maintaining the full useful working
life of your Easikit conveyor. A regular maintenance program paying due attention to
all the components itemised in this Routine Maintenance section will reduce the
likelihood of break-down and costly downtime. Frequency of checks will depend on
conveyor usage i.e. material being handled, hours worked per day etc. Checks are
recommended at regular intervals depending on the amount of working hours that the
conveyor is being used for.
A main feature in extending the life of your conveyor is thorough cleaning at regular
intervals to prevent material build-up particularly around the feed and discharge points
(good house-keeping is essential).
THERE ARE REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECKS THAT
MUST BE CARRIED OUT: -
1. EVERY DAY
2. EVERY WEEK (or 60 hours)
3. EVERY MONTH (or 250 hours)
4. EVERY 3 MONTHS (or 750 hours)
5. ANNUALLY (or 3000 hours)
WARNING!
DOWN TIME COSTS MONEY,
LOOK AFTER YOUR EASIKIT CONVEYOR!

VISUAL CHECKS
ACTION
1.1. Is there build up /wrapped material on under rollers?
Clean as required
1.2. Is there material wedged in between belt and belt
covers, or other parts?
Remove it

conveyor?
Report it
1.4. Is there any debris on floor that is different to the
material fed?
Investigate it

If not, ensure it is
adjusted
2. TURN CONVEYOR ON AND OBSERVE
2.1. Are there any seized rollers?
Report it &
change them
2.2. Can you hear any strange noises apart from
