Maintenance
DISCONNECT AND LOCK OUT ALL ELECTRICAL POWER
BEFORE MAINTENANCE.
Regularly scheduled maintenance can greatly increase the life of your equipment and
reduce downtime. A good maintenance program includes general housekeeping, adequate
periodic lubrication, chain tension adjustment, and periodic inspection. Remember to
check the conveyor immediately if any unusual noise or vibration is detected.
1. Bearings are greased at the factory and do not need to be greased prior to start
up. Grease all bearings every 800 - 1000 hours after start up. While the unit is
running use only enough grease until you can see the fresh grease at the seals.
If you cannot lubricate the bearings while the unit is running, do it immediately
upon shut down while the bearing is still warm. Do not grease a cold bearing.
2. Be sure to maintain the reducer as specified by the manufacturer. Follow the
manufacturers recommendations for periodic oil level inspection and oil changes.
3. Check the conveyor chain frequently for buckling or kinking while under
load. Adjust the chain tension as required. Once the maximum take-up position
is reached it will be necessary to remove some chain links. Establish a schedule
for checking the chain tension. MFS/YORK/STORMOR recommends checking
the tension at least once a quarter following the initial break-in period.
4. Oil motor every 1000 hours or once yearly if equipped with oil holes or
grease unit if zerks are available.
5. Check the V-belt drive after 10, 30, 100 and every 300 hours, or twice yearly
thereafter. Refer to figure (a) for correct belt tension. The best belt tension for
a V-belt drive is the lowest tension at which the belts will not slip under the
highest load condition.
6. Check for deterioration or looseness of any bolts or fasteners.
7. Check for worn, damaged or missing UHMW paddles.
8. Check the sprocket hub bolts and set screws after 8 - 10 hours of operation
and on a regular interval thereafter.
9. Check that all guards are properly located and installed.

OSHA
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT OF 1970
Certain purchasers of our products may be subject to the requirements and
standards of the William-Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970,
which prescribes standards for use of appurtenances of our manufacture, such
as handrails, platforms, stairways, fixed ladders, ladder cages, and guard
rails. (Occupational Safety and Health Standards Section 1910.21 through
1910.32). Before installing these devices, familiarize yourself with the above
Federal Standards.
At the time of manufacture, these optional items conform to applicable
standards. MFS/YORK/STORMOR assumes no liability with respect to proper
construction, inspection, assembly, or use of its products under applicable
laws, all of which is the sole responsibility of the purchaser and those doing
the assembly work.
PROPER PERSONNEL
To insure the safe use of all your material handling equipment be sure that only
trained personnel install, maintain, and operate your drag conveyor!
10230012 10-02
1. Air - Air must be present to provide the oxygen necessary for combustion.
2. Fuel - In this case the fuel is the grain dust. The finer the dust, the easier
it is to ignite.
3. Suspension - A pile of grain dust will not explode, it must be suspended in air.
4. Minimum Concentration - There must be a minimum concentration of
grain dust in suspension in the air. Current tests seem to indicate that
minimum concentration is about 0.4 oz/ft 2.
5. Low moisture - The grain dust must be of a relatively low moisture
content. Ambient air moisture or relative humidity, has no bearing on the
potentiality of an explosion.
6. Ignition Source - The ignition source could come from a fire, an overheated
bearing, a spark, welding or cutting sparks or debris, hot metal, electric
failure or other similar sources.
7. Confined Area - An explosive action must take place within a confined area.
Recognizing this hazard, MFS/YORK/STORMOR believes that we all need
to work together to prevent grain dust explosions in order to protect lives,
jobs, property, and profits. A number of preventive measures can be taken to
lessen the likelihood of an explosion. Following are some suggested measures.
10230012 10-02
f. Paint the interior equipment with a coating that is slick, not allowing
the dust to accumulate.
g. Enclose all horizontal drag or belt conveyors not allowing the dust to escape.
2. Control the ignition source
a. Apply a no smoking policy in all potentially hazardous areas.
b. Use only explosion proof trouble lights.
c. All welding and cutting is to take place on the outside of the facility.
d. Properly lubricate bearings on all equipment at the required intervals.
e. Use magnets to trap metal that might be mixed in with the grain.
f. Check the lagging on the bucket elevator head and replace it if it is
worn or smooth.
g. Use secondary safety devices such as heat detectors on bearings,
motion monitors or the boot shaft and limit switches to shut down
the system if the leg is choked. Make sure all electrical wiring, lights
and outlets meet local codes (never jog a checked leg).
10230012 10-02
Lock - Out
FOLLOW A PROPER LOCKOUT PROCEDURE!
10
10230012 10-02
Operating Safety
Follow these FOUR BASIC SAFETY RULES for your conveyor
to make sure that accidents do not occur! Make sure that everyone working
with or around your conveyor follows these rules!
11
1. Be sure that all covers, grates, and guards are in place and securely
fastened before operating!
2. Never step or walk on conveyor covers, grates, or guards!
3. Lock out all power before removing covers, grates or guards! Secure
all chains and belts so that they cant move before working on any
part of your bucket elevator or conveyor.
4. Dont modify or redesign your conveyor without first obtaining written
approval from MFS/YORK/STORMOR.
Following these 4 basic safety rules is a proven way to reduce accidents! Be
sure to provide all employees working on or near your conveyor with effective
safety training, including management.
It is ok to add extra safety rules for your job site but DO NOT SUBSTITUTE
other safety procedures for the 4 safety rules! Following the safety rules
given for the safe use of your conveyor requires a commitment at all levels
within your company.
REMEMBER!
There is no substitute for a commitment to safety!

pull chain ends together
Adjust the take-ups to shorten the center
distance between the shafts of the chain
conveyor (fig. b, page 30). Eliminate the
slack and pull the chain ends tight with
a puller or come-along suited for the
length of the conveyor and connect the
chain (fig. b). One or two chain paddles
may need to be removed so that they
will not be damaged by the come-along.
10
remove the end pin & connect the chain
To remove a pin from the chain, grind
the head of the pin so it is flush with the
side-bar. Then use a small punch along
with a hammer to drive the pin through
the side-bar. When connecting the two
ends of the chain, use either a shoulder
or tear-drop pin.

WHY FAILURE OCCURS?
There are many different reasons a chain
can fail in a piece of equipment. Some
reasons may be related to the chain
itself, but many reasons may be related
to other components of the system. A
