Tensioning the conveyor belt

The conveyor belt on the ProPass Conveyor uses a V-
Guide system to correctly track the belt. The adjusters on
the conveyor are used to tension the belt if it begins to
slip or becomes loose.

Conveyor Belt Tensioning Procedure

1. Loosen the locknut (white arrow) on the adjuster
bolt on both sides on the conveyor. See Figure
40.
2. Turn the tensioning nut (black arrow) on the
adjuster bolt, being sure to turn each side a small
amount, alternating sides to ensure even tension
is applied.
3. Check the belt for tension by running the
conveyor full speed and watching for the belt to
slip. If the belt slips repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. When the belt tension is satisfactory, tighten the
locknuts.
