Hydraulic oil on a mineral oil base: type HVLP ref. to DIN 51524 part 3,
SS155434 AV, SMR-norm
General
Filling of hydraulic oil should be done through the filler cap on top of the return
filter to avoid contamination.
When repairing, be careful when opening hose and valve connections to avoid
contamination coming into the system. Clean up with compressed air first.
Do not let oil seep into the ground when repairing. Use a collecting vessel.
Store hydraulic oil in a proper way to avoid water and contamination to enter the
oil.
Before mixing hydraulic oil from different manufacturer, check with your oil supplier.
Do not mix oil made from different bases as this can cause filter clogging and other
problems.
Current official regulations must be observed when disposing old used oil.

Servicing of air cleaners
The pressure in the air cleaner are continuously supervised. Once the air
filter isn’t operating properly, the air filter indicator, which is shown on the
display, see OM:11, will be lit. Then, the air filter element must be
immediately replaced.
The air cleaner is designed as a two stage air cleaner, the first stage is the
tangential inlet that creates a rotating movement of the air. This forces the
particles to be centrifuged and transported to the end cover where the ejector
evacuates the dust from the air cleaner. This pre cleaning device takes care of
75% to 80% of the dust that enters the cleaner. Adding an optional pre
cleaner adds restriction and will not increase the lifetime of the elements.
The media in the elements are produced of cellulose fibres creating a filter
paper. This paper has openings to let the air through to the engine. The
openings are uneven in shape due to the nature of the fibres. A new element
needs to be "runned in" before it reaches its final efficiency. The initial dust
entering the element helps to build up the uneven shape of the openings and
increases the efficiency of the element.
Therefore it is very important not to clean or change the element before it
comes to the end of its lifetime as this again will open up the media and let
dust particles pass trough the air cleaner into the engine.
The element is designed for a long lifetime, (up to 1000 hours, depending on
the dust content in the air) and should not be changed in advance. The
manufacturer has set the final pressure drop allowed over the dirty air
cleaner. This level is checked by a filter indicator. The best way to achieve
the optimum economical and technical result is to change the element only
when the indicator indicates filter change.
It is not possible to visually detect the dirt level of an element; a perfect
working element could be loaded with dust to the level where the pleats no
longer are visible.
One element with a clean weight of 3.5 kg could reach a total weight of
13.5 kg before it needs to be changed.
The safety element mounted inside the main element must never be cleaned
as this element is as a safety device and will protect the engine from damage
if the main element fails. This element needs to be changed only every
second or third time of the main element change.
If there is doubt regarding the function of the indicator, it is possible to
disassemble the rain cap and carefully and slowly choke the intake of the air
cleaner while the engine is running. There should be a signal from the
indicator long before the engine starts to drop in rpm. This is not
recommended and should only be done if there is serious doubt in the
function of the indicator.
Use only original elements. Elements from other suppliers than Sandvik
must not be used as they can cause severe damage of the engine.
When servicing the air cleaner according to these instructions there will be
fewer elements needed, less work for the maintenance people and the best
protection of the engine.
• Use only orig inal spare parts
• Never change elements before they reach the final pressure drop (signal
from the indicator)
• Always change elements only by indication from the indicator.
• It is not possible to visually detect the dirt level of the element.
• Never clean the elements as this can cause failure of the media.
• No need for an optional pre cleaner
• Change safety element every second or third the main elements is
changed.
NOTE! Never clean the safety element.

Read this chapter very carefully. It concerns your safety .How safety information is presented in the instruction
book and on the product is described here. You will also find an overall picture of the basic safety procedures for
operation of the engine.
Make sure that you have the correct instruction book before reading any further. If you do not, please con-
tact your Volvo Penta dealer.
Incorrect operation can lead to injuries and/or product or property damage. It is therefore impor-
tant to read through the instruction book very carefully before you start the engine or perform
maintenance or service work. If there is anything that you are unclear on or unsure about even af-
ter reading the book, please contact your Volvo Penta dealer for assistance.
This symbol is used in the instruction book and on the product to let you know that it con-
cerns safety information. Always read this information very carefully.
In the instruction book warning texts are handled according to the following priority system:
WARNING! Warns of risk of injury, extensive damage to the product or other property, or
that serious functional problems can occur if the instruction is not followed.
IMPORTANT! Used to call attention to things that can cause damage or functional
problems to the product or property.

Running-in
The engine should be ”run-in” during the first
10 hours of operation according to the following:
Run the engine as with normal operation. Full-throttle
operation should not occur for more than short peri-
ods. Do not run the engine for long periods of time at
steady RPM during the run-in period.
An increase in the consumption of lubricating oil is
normal during the first 100–200 hours of operation. It
is therefore important to check the oil level more often
that is normally recommended.
When a clutch is mounted it should be inspected more
frequently during the first days of operation. Adjust-
ment may be required to compensate for initial wear of
the plates.

Operation
Correct operation technique is very important for both fuel economy and engine life. Always let the engine warm
up to normal operating temperature before operating at full power. Avoid sudden throttle openings and operation at
high engine speeds.
26
Stopping the engine
In case of extended time between uses the engine should be run until warm at least once every 14 days. This pre-
vents corrosion of the engine. If the engine will not be used for more than two months preservation should be per-
formed. See the chapter ”Storage”.
IMPORTANT! In case of freezing temperatures liquid in the cooling system must have sufficient antifreeze.
See the chapter ”Maintenance, cooling system”. A poorly charged battery can freeze and break.
Before shutdown
Allow the engine to run a few minutes with no load be-
fore it is shut down. This permits an evening out of
temperatures within the engine, which prevents ”after-
boiling” as well as cooling the turbocharger somewhat.
This contributes to a lengthened useful life without
disruptions.
Stop
• Disengage the clutch (if possible).
27
Stopping the engine
After shutdown
• Check the engine with respect to possible leak-
age.
Extra stop
The extra stop (AUX STOP) is located on the left side
of the engine, above the control unit.

Maintenance schedule
General
Your Volvo Penta engine and its equipment are built to provide a high degree of reliability and a long useful life.
They are built to have the minimum possible effect upon the environment. Preventative maintenance according to
the maintenance schedule and use of original Volvo Penta parts will preserve these qualities and help to avoid un-
necessary operational disturbances.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
WARNING! Prior to starting maintenance work the chapter ”Maintenance” should be
read carefully. In it you will find instructions for how the work can be carried out in a
safe and correct manner
IMPORTANT! When both operational and calendar times are given maintenance should
be performed in accordance with the first interval to arrive. Maintenance points marked
with should be performed by an authorized Volvo Penta service facility.
29
Maintenance schedule
WARNING! Read through the safety instructions for maintenance and service work in the chapter: Safety in-
formation, before starting to work.
WARNING! Maintenance and service work shall be performed on a stopped engine if not otherwise indicated.
Stop the engine before the engine cover/hood is opened or removed. Make inadvertent start-up impossible
by removing the starting key and disconnect the power using the main switch.
Engine, general
General inspection
Get in the habit of giving the engine and engine com-
partment a visual inspection before starting the en-
gine and after operation when the engine has
stopped. This will help you to quickly realize if some-
thing unusual has happened or is happening.
Look especially carefully for oil, fuel and coolant leak-
age, loose screws, worn or loose drive belts, loose
connections or damaged hoses and wires. The in-
spection only takes a few minutes but can mean that
serious service interruptions and costly repairs can be
avoided.

Cooling system
The cooling system ensures that the engine operates at the correct temperature. It is a closed circuit system and
must always be filled with a mixture of at least 40 % concentrated coolant and 60 % water to protect against inter-
nal corrosion, cavitation and damage caused by freezing.
We recommend that you use “Volvo Penta Coolant, Ready Mixed”, alternatively “Volvo Penta Coolant” (con-
centrated) mixed with pure water according to spec, see “Coolant. Mixture”. Only coolant of this quality is suited
too and approved by Volvo Penta.
The coolant should contain ethylene glycol of a good quality with a suitable chemical consistency for an adequate
protection of the engine. Using anticorrosion additive exclusively is not permitted in Volvo Penta’s engines. Never
use water by itself as coolant.
IMPORTANT! Coolant, with a suitable consistency, must be used all year round. This applies even if there is
never any risk for frost , to ensure that the engine has an adequate protection against corrosion.
Future warranty claims on the engine and additional equipment may be rejected if an unsuitable coolant has
been used or if the instructions concerning coolant mixing have not been followed.
NOTE! The anticorrosive agents become less effective after a time, which means that the coolant must be re-
placed, see “Maintenance schedule”. The cooling system should be flushed out at the same time as the coolant is
replaced, see “Cooling system. Cleaning”.
37
Maintenance
Coolant. Mixture
WARNING! All glycol is hazardous and harmful
to the environment. Do not consume!
Glycol is flammable.
Mix:
40 % “Volvo Penta Coolant” (conc. coolant)
60 % water
This mixture protects the engine against internal cor-
rosion, cavitation and frost damage down to -28°C
(-18°F). (Using 60 % glycol lowers the freezing point
to -54 °C (65°F)). Never mix more than 60 % concen-
trate (Volvo Penta Coolant) in the cooling liquid, this
will give reduced cooling effect and increase the risk
of overheating, and will give reduced freezing protec-
tion.

Maintenance
Fuel system
Only use fuel of the recommended grade according to the fuel specification below. Always make sure to maintain
a high level of cleanliness when fueling and when working with the fuel system.
All work involving the engine’s unit injectors must be performed by an authorized service location.
WARNING! Risk of fire. Work on the fuel system must be performed on a cold engine. Fuel leakage and
spillage onto hot surfaces or electrical components can cause a fire. Store fuel-soaked rags in a fire-safe
manner.
Fuel specification
The fuel must at least satisfy national and interna-
tional standards for market fuel, for example:
EN 590 (with nationally adjusted environmental and
temperature
requirements)
ASTM-D975-No. 1-D, 2-D
JIS KK 2204
Sulfur content: According to legal requirements in
each respective country. If the sulfur content ex-
ceeds 0.5 percent by weight oil change intervals
must be changed, see “Lubrication system”.
Note that low-density fuel (urban diesel in Sweden
and citydiesel in Finland) can cause a power reduc-
tion of approximately 5% and a decrease in fuel
economy of approximately 2–3%.

Venting the fuel system
The system does not need to be vented unless it has
been run completely dry. Venting is then done with the
hand pump on the fuel filter bracket.
45
Maintenance
Electrical system
The engine is equipped with a 2-pole electric system and with an alternator. System voltage is 24V.
WARNING! Before performing service on the electric system the engine should be stopped and the power
disconnected at the main switch. All connections to battery chargers or other equipment must be discon-
nected.
Main switch
The main switch must never be switched off before
the engine has been stopped. If the circuit between
the generator and the battery is broken while the en-
gine is running the generator and the electronics can
be damaged. For the same reason reconnecting of the
charging circuits must never be carried out while the
engine is running.
Fuses
The engine is equipped with a 10A fuse that shuts off
the power in case of an overload in the electrical sys-
tem.
The fuse is placed adjacent to the engine control unit
on the engine’s left side.
Electrical connections
Check that electrical connections are dry, free from
oxide and that they are securely tightened. Spray
these connections as necessary with water-repellent
spray (Volvo Penta universal oil).
46
Maintenance
Batteries, maintenance
WARNING! Fire and explosion risk. Batteries
may never be exposed to open flame or sparks.
Cleaning
Keep the batteries dry and clean. Contamination and
oxidation on the battery and the battery poles can
cause current leaks, a reduction in voltage and dis-
charge, especially during times of humid weather.
Clean oxidation from the battery poles and cable ends
using a brass brush. Tighten the cable ends and pro-
tect them using pole grease or Vaseline.
Electrolyte level
The Electrolyte level should be 5–10 mm over the cell
plates in the battery. Add battery water as needed.
After filling the batteries should be charged by being
connected to a battery charger, or by running the en-
gine in normal operation for at least 30 minutes.
47
Maintenance
Batteries, charging
WARNING! Explosion risk. During charging oxy-
hydrogen gas is formed. Short-circuits, open
flame or sparks can cause a powerful explosion.
Ventilate well.
48
Preparation for storage
To prevent the engine and other equipment from suffering damage during periods of storage exceeding two
months a preservation procedure should be performed. It is important that this be done correctly and that no part
of it be forgotten. We have therefore created a checklist covering the most important points.
Before the engine is taken out of service for an extended period an authorized Volvo Penta service facility should
perform a check.
Problems should be addressed at this point so that the equipment will be ready for use when needed next.
WARNING! Prior to starting maintenance work the chapter ”Maintenance” should be read carefully. In it you
will find instructions for how the work can be carried out in a safe and correct manner
WARNING! Certain preservation oils are flammable. Some even produce dangerous fumes. Make sure that
there is good ventilation. Use a protective mask when spraying.
IMPORTANT! When cleaning with a high-pressure sprayer the following instructions must be kept in mind:
Never point the spray at seals, rubber hoses or electric components. Never use the high-pressure function
while cleaning the engine.
Conservation
• For periods of storage up to 8 months:
Change the engine oil and oil filter and then run until
warm.
For periods of storage longer than 8 months:
Preserve the lubrication and fuel systems with pres-
ervation oil. See instructions on next page.

1. FIELD OF APPLICATION
The OMKA power take-off is installed between a diesel engine and a fluid coupling with SAE1 mounting flange.
It allows the mounting of more hydraulic pumps of medium size for the operation of the various systems of the
unit.
2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
MAIN DRIVE SHAFT
Ratio 1
Maximum input power 300 kW
Maximum input torque 2200 Nm
Maximum input speed 2500 RPM
POWER TAKE-OFF
3. UNIT WEIGHT
The approximate weight of the OMKA PTO with two heads and without oil is 225 Kg.
4. IDENTIFICATION PLATE
The nameplates are affixed as follows: 1 on the mid-section and 2 on the two heads, in order to always allow
the identification of the manufacturing date.
Photo 1 Photo 2
5. DESCRIPTION
The OMKA PTO is constructed of one standard main body and various head configurations.
The reduction ratio of the main body is fixed, while adapting heads with ratios of 1: 1.297 increase or 1:1.
The head flange and spline shaft for pump mounting must be selected in relation to the type of pump to be used
in the application.
The PTO can support the weight of the pumps but not the weight of the fluid coupling.
5.2 - GEARING
The drive torque of the diesel engine is transmitted to the main shaft of the power take-off through a rigid
coupling and subsequently through a second flywheel and a flexible coupling, its is transmitted to the fluid
coupling mounted at the output side of the power take-off.
The drive torque transmitted to the hydraulic pumps mounted at the lateral heads is through a common driving
wheel drawn from the main shaft and two quaternaries of cylindrical gears.
The gears are hardened and tempered, with helical configuration and ground profile.
The main shaft incorporates two oil seals with dual lips. The outer lip is a wiper that prevents dust passage.
The oil seals are manufactured specifically for this application, with preferential direction of rotation.
The oil seals have different dimensions to avoid errors through the assembly process, and eliminating the
possibility of jeopardizing the actual sealing effect.
We do not recommend the use of other oil seals. In the case of maintenance, use only original oil seals,
supplied by OMSI Trasmissioni S.p.A. or by authorized sellers.
The oil seal between the heads and main body is obtained with liquid seal type Loctite 510.
In the case where the heads are removed, after cleaning the surfaces thoroughly, use the same liquid seal or
equivalent.
The same sealing element can be used also for the seal between the heads and at the moutning flnage of the
hydraulic pumps.
Other sealing points are made with rubber O’ring gaskets.
6. INSTALLATION
The PTO can support the weight of the pumps but not the weight of the fluid coupling.
A frame arrangement with flexible isolator mountings must support the diesel engine, power take-off and fluid
coupling.
6.1.1 - Mount the main shaft support bearing to the flywheel (Pos.3, Illustration 1). Be sure that the two rubber
O’rings 150 (40050256) and O’ring 165 (40050257) are positioned at the internal diameter of the bearing for the
retention of grease.
It is recommended to grease thoroughly the internal surface with Mobil Special Grease or equivalente with the
following characteristics:
6.1.2 - Mount the reduction ring 20120568 (Pos. 8, Illustration 1) on the flywheel with the correspondent
hardware 40210172 (Pos. 8, Illustration 1, TCCE 12.9 UNI5931 M12x30).
It is recommended to install the screws with thread lock type Loctite 242. Torque to 145 Nm +/- 10 Nm.
6.1.3 - Providing the proper support, proceed with the mounting of the power take-off with the side of the
rigid coupling to the engine.
For the attachment of the power take-off to the engine, we recommend the use of the original engine studs or
studs of class 10.9 or greater.
It is recommended the use of lock-nuts type Metal-Blok DIN 980 and conical washers DIN 6796.
6.1.4 - Remove the plugs 20060010 (Pos. 6, Illustration 2) by loosen screws 40210020 (Pos. 9, Illustration
2).
6.1.5 - Through the two openings, mount screws 40210521 (Pos. 10, Illustration 1, TE M12x25 10.9 UNI5739)
and proper wave washers d.13 UNI3545 (Pos. 9, Illustration 1) to lock the dragging discs against the reduction
ring.
It is recommended to install the screws with thread lock type Loctite 242. Torque to 120 Nm +/- 6 Nm.
6.1.6 - Following the operation of locking the dragging discs, proceed with the relocation of the plugs
20060010 (Pos. 6, Illustration 2) in order to avoid foreign materials to enter the PTO and engine, and to damage
the oil seals on the main shaft.

The OMKA PTO is furnished with partial lubrication plumbing because it is always installed with a heat
exchanger system. We highly recommend the installation of the external oil reservoir / level indicator (Pos. 8,
Illustration 3) to facilitate oil level inspection and re-filling when required.
Follow the diagram below for complete lubrication plumbing and connections.
6.2.1 - Connect the pump output with the inlet of the heat exchanger.
6.2.2 - Connect the outlet of the heat exchanger into two distribution blocks (Pos. 1 and 2, Illustration 3) on
both heads of the PTO.
6.2.3 - Install the external filter with the element mounted slightly higher than the oil level to avoid spillage
when replacing it.
6.2.4 - Connect the oil suction port under the main housing to the inlet of the oil filter. Install the furnished non-
return check valve (Pos. 4, Illustration 3) on this line as shown on the diagram below.
6.2.5 - Connect the outlet of the filter to the suction port of the hydraulic pump.
6.2.6 - We recommend the installation of a by-pass system at the heat exchanger ports with a check valve of ~
3 bar (Pos. 6, Illustration 3) to allow circulation of oil even in the event of blockage in the heat exchanger (Pos.
5 and 7, Illustration 3).

IMPORTANT:
During the installation of the filter assembly, be sure to carefully follow the direction arrow on the aluminum
housing in relation to the flow path of the system (photo 3). Also the non-return check valve have a particular
direction to follow (photo 4).
Photo 3 Photo 4
The power take-off is furnished complete with O’ring gaskets and spline adapters for the pump installation.
In the event that the O’ring gasket is not able to completely seal the oil between the housing and pump, use
liquid gasket Loctite 510 in addition to the gasket provided.
Proceed with the electrical wiring (24V) of the pressure switch (Pos. 2, Illustration 4), mounted on the
lubricating pump to a light indicator visible to the operator at all times, or preferable to an audible alarm system.
As an alternative Mobil Oil SHC 75W90 (synthetic) or equivalent synthetic oil may be used in low temperature
environments.
The quantity of oil varies from the different types of PTO’s. Please, check on the gear identification plate the
approximate oil quantity. To fill the gear correctly please see chapter 9.1 in this manual.
8. INITIAL OPERATION
If the indicator light and/or alarm system do not turn off after approximately 30 seconds from the first signal,
there is a possibility that air pockets are trapped within the system plumbing. To remove these pockets,
proceed with the following:
1 Illustration 5 Illustration 4
If the system pressure decreases below 0.8 bar, the indicator light and/or alarm system will indicate a
malfunctioning in the system or lubrication pump. In this case, the operator must shut off the diesel engine
immediately. After verification that the oil level is at its proper level through the sight eye (Pos. 1, Illustration 5),
re-start the engine at low revolutions and loosen the connection after the non-return check valve (Pos. 2,
Illustration 5).
A - If oil does not come out, it is necessary to: 1) Loosen the plug (Pos 1, Illustration 4) to allow air to es
cape and then re-tighten.
2) If the problem persists shut off the engine and replace
the lubrication pump. After replacing the pump, repeat
The operation and check that oil circulates through the
plumbing.
B - If oil comes out correctly, it is necessary to: 1) Verify the operation of the pressure switch (Pos. 2,
Illustration 4). Replace it if necessary.
2) Verify the wiring between the pressure switch and
indicator light and/or alarm system.
9. MAINTENANCE
The approximate capacity of oil of the power take-off is 7 liters, excluding the lubrication plumbing and heat
exchanger. The filter indicator must be checked for potential blockages within the element with the PTO in
working conditions. During the first week of operation, the oil level and filter indicator must be checked on a
daily basis with the machine on level ground. Subsequently, these checks must be performed on a weekly
basis. If during the inspection process, oil is not visible through the sight eye (Pos. 1, Illustration 5), or through
the external oil reservoir / level indicator (Pos. 8, Illustration 3), re-fill immediately through the external oil
reservoir / level indicator or through the fill / breather plug (refer to note on illustration 2). It is imperative to find
the source of leak and refer to paragraph 5.3 of this manual.
When re-filling to the proper oil level, always use the recommended oil type. Mixing of oils can be detrimental to
the lubrication system.
After re-filling, re-install the fill / breather plug.
Perform the oil change referring to paragraph 8 “Initial Operation”. The oil and filter element must be replaced
after the first 100 hours of operation. In order to facilitate the draining of the oil, it is recommended to proceed
with this operation when the oil is still warm. Pay very close attention to all safety procedures because the
OMKA PTO and the oil could reach very high temperatures.
Subsequent oil changes and filter element replacement should be performed every 500 hours of service or once
a year, whichever comes first.
After replacing the oil, start the engine and inspect the circulation of oil through every lubricating point.
Oil change instructions:
• Position a bucket large enough to collect the old oil under the PTO. Remove the drain plug (Pos. 9,
Illustration 3).
• Remove the fill / breather plug (refer to note on lilustration 2), in order to facilitate the draining of oil
completely.
• Re-install the drain plug (Pos. 9, Illustration 3).
• Fill the power take-off with oil (see paragraph 7) until it reaches the level sight eye (Pos. 1, Illustration 5) or
if applicable, to the sight eye at the external oil reservoir / level indicator (Pos. 8, Illustration 3).
•
• Engage the PTO and run for ~ 5 minutes at low revolutions. Shut off engine, allow oil to cover all internal
surfaces and inspect level through the sight eye. Add more oil as necessary.
• This procedure must be followed in order to fill the entire plumbing of the lubrication system and heat
exchanger with oil.
• Re-install the fill / breather plug (see note on illustration 2).
Important:
Use protective equipment during this process and when handling hot oil. AVOID INJURIES!
Disposal of old oil must be done following your local, state, and federal regulations.
DO NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT!

FEATURES
1- KPT for internal conbustion engine (named KPTO or KPTU depending on radial output or in
line output) is a drain type fluid coupling. If drained out it works as a disconnected clutch.; if
progressively filled up it works as a soft starter.
2- KPT can be flanged to any internal combustion engine having a SAE housing and flywheel.
3 - KPT has a incorporated feed oil pump. This oil flow is used to fill up the fluid coupling, to
dissipate the heat generated during start up and steady running, to lubricate bearings.
4- KPT has some orifices, fitted on peripheral part, which continuously drain the oil supplied
by feed oil pump. Orifices have calculated diameter depending on application.
Because orifices are made in threaded plugs, they can be replaced to optimise
performances. Quick release valves, supplied as optional, drain oil in few seconds.
5- Through an electric valve (24V d.c. [standard] or: 12V d.c.; 110V a.c.; 220V a.c.) the pump
oil flow can be diverted to the oil tank. In such a way the fluid coupling is drained out (time
required depends by orifices diameter and input speed) while oil flow continues to assure
the tank cooling and bearings lubrication.
6- Oil is cleaned through a 25 micron filter with replaceable paper cartridge. Filter clogging
is indicated on pressure switchgauge dial (see TF6007-…) when is 1.7 bar over the rated
pressure (rated pressure is established during first start up as soon as oil temperature has
reached the working value). Pressure switch, already set during workshop test (becarefull to
check if setting was correct according to actual working condition like pipes length and oil
temperature) must be used as alarm signal for filter clogging.
7- Temperature switch (see TF6007-…), already set (see the test certificate), must be used as
alarm signal therefore should be connected to any device in respect of safety rules. Just as
suggestion, it could switch off electric valve or shut down the engine. When KPT is cooled
by engine jacket water, temperature switch setting could be max 95°C.
8- Cooler, either oil/water (see TF5999...) or oil/air (see relevant dwg.), is supplied according to
required working specifications and must be fitted in line between pump and filter (see
TF6014...; see relevant dwg.).
9- Overload and speed controller is a reading device of KPT output speed and also an alarm
device in case of unwished decreasing of speed (high slip). Connection of alarm switch
has the same target of temperature switch (see TF 5800-…).

INSTALLATION
- Check that flywheel be within SAE tolerances (see FIG.1 and also SAE J1033 rules).
- Mount elastic coupling driving ring on to the flywheel. Then mount KPT on to the flywheel
housing.
- First tight screws on flywheel housing then tight screws on support side flanges (both side
flanges must be fitted).
- Check (KPTO) that belts tension is within permissible value (see radial load table TF6093 in
this manual).
- Connect oil and water pipes (if any) in respect of pump pressure side diameter (suction and
pressure side diameters in case of separate pump).
- Supply correct water flow to the cooler (see final M-TECH technical quotation)
- Supply correct Voltage to electric motors, if any (check electric connections), electric valve and
devices (see test certificate).
START UP
IMPORTANT
- Check rotation direction of the pump. Once the pump is running, if no pressure is read on
filter pressure gauge, check again rotation (electric motor connections), pipes connection and
oil level (see maintenance for correct level).
- Check pressure be within correct value at steady running temperature (see test certificate).
b- Switch on the pump (whether electric motor pump is installed) and start engine.
DISENGAGEMENT (STOP)
WHILE ENGINE IS “ON” AND LOAD STOPPED, FEED PUMP MUST BE ON AND VALVE
OFF. THIS TO ASSURE BEARINGS LUBRICATION.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR Rev. 6
KPTO/U FLUID COUPLING SERIES Sheet 3/3
1- Change oil after first 100 working hours.Change oil every 4000 working hours unless evident
oil colour change. Correct oil level is the blue line on oil level indicators (first fill KPT, then run
the pump, electric valve OFF, to full fill heat exchanger, hence check level again, while engine
is stopped).
2- Change oil filter cartridge (25 micron) when pressure is 1.7 bar over rated value and/or
pressure switch is ON.
3- Change rotating seals (items 46 and 58 in TB1070-…) in case of considerable oil leakage.
Recommended spare parts are supplied from M-TECH or local distributor (see Sales
Network on back page of KPT catalogue).
4- Keep the cooler clean.Whether was a water cooler, see dedicated instruction pages in this
manual (TF6094). Whether was an air cooler, clean the radiator pack with air pressure or
wash carefully by hand. Do not use water pressure, it can damage the Aluminum pack.
5- Check periodically, possibly every 1000 hours, that pump chain be of correct length (hang 20
kg weight to stretch chain):

Warning signs
Warning:
Safety regulations and measures that protect the drive and other persons against injury and
ranger to life and limb
Caution :
Particular instructions to prevent damage to the vehicle. Failure to observe these instructions
can lead to warranty becoming void.
NB:
Particular instructions for better handling during operations , control and setting procedures
as well as maintenance work .
1.1. Foreword
These operating instructions are a part of the scope of delivery. They are to be kept close at
hand and are to remain with the machine if being sold again.
All details , data and illustration container in these operatine instructions are subject to
change as result of technical developments.
1.2. In general
This undercarriage has been constructed to "state of the art" standards and is operationally
safe.
Nevertheless, machines can be the source of danger if they continue to be operated although
a fault is suspected or has already occurred or it has been repaired incorrectly.
The machine must be shut down immediately if a fault is suspected or has already occurred
which could endanger the safety of the operator, other persons on site or surrounding
facilities and equipment etc.
All components have been carefully matched to each other. Fault-free operation and a long
service life are only possible if original spare parts are used.
.
1.3.1 Personnel
Only properly trained and authorized personnel with appropriate specialist knowledge are to
be appointed with maintenance and repair work.
Appropriate measures must be taken before commencing any work on the undercarriage to
ensure that the equipment cannot start up unintentionally or be started up inadvertently by
others (e.g. blocks). All switching on and off procedures must be observed for this.
Protective equipment and clothing is mandatory for all work. Wear protective helmets, shoes
and gloves. Close fitting clothes help to avoid injuries.
If assistants are required to help in carrying out work, responsibilities must be clarified
beforehand so that there is no possibility of unclear competence occurring with regard to
safety aspects.
All lifting and fastening devices on the crawler undercarriage are only designed for the
transportation of the undercarriage unless otherwise specified.
Metal splinters may break off and cause injuries when driving equipment bolts in or out. For
this reason, always wear safety goggles when driving bolts in or out.
Equipment or components which are being fitted or removed or where their installation
position is being changed must be secured against unintentional movement, slipping or
falling over using suitable lifting gear of suspension/support devices.
Systems and units (i.e. tensioning units) must be depressurized in an appropriate manner
before opening.
2. Warranty
Applicable conditions of warranty are stipulated in the confirmation of order.
Safety instructions
Suitable safety measures must be taken to avoid scalding and burning when the machine
has warmed up (i.e. at operating temperature), as operating media are then at least the same
temperature.
Do not smoke if handling combustible fluids.
Caution with fire and naked flames. Not only fuel but also other operating media often have a
low flash point and ignite easily.
Lubricants that are not being reused must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
Undercarriage components must be replaced by new parts if they are worn to 100 %.

The transmission is designed exclusively for use as drive transmission for an undercarriage.
The sprocket (3) is available in standard, HD or special design with dirt pockets for packing
ground conditions.
Components adjoining the track are surface hardened to minimise wear. The connection to
the driving wheel and transmission is established with HF bolts (4). The necessary torque
levels for these are shown in the attached tables.
The drive traction is transmitted to the track via the motor, transmission and sprocket.

A particular feature of the gear is its very compact and therefore space-saving design.
The gear can be fitted with an integrated multi-disc brake, which acts as parking brake. This
is activated by spring force and released hydraulically with pressure oil. The multi-disc brake
must be released without fail before switching on the drive hydraulic.
4.2.4 Commissioning
The transmission is supplied ready for installation without oil filling. Starting up or using the
drive without any lubricant would lead to destruction of the transmission in next to no time.
See the chapter "Filling with transmission oil" for filling, topping-up or checking oil.
The transmission has been treated internally with a preservative agent that provides around
6 months protection against corrosion if stored under dry conditions. This internal
preservation does not have to be removed when starting up.
When fitting the hydraulic lines for parking brakes and hydraulic motor, make sure that no dirt
or other foreign bodies get into the transmission or hydraulic motor.

4.3. Lubricants
The viscosity rating on the rating plate on the transmission and the following requirements
must be observed!
Only the necessary viscosity ISO-VG 150 and ISO-VG 220 for normal operating conditions
from 10° to 30° C is stated on the rating plate.
For lower operating temperatures, use oil with a lower viscosity (SAE 80W - 90) and for
higher temperatures, us oil with higher viscosity (SAE 85W - 140).
Remove the protective caps when connecting the hydraulic hoses. Attention must be paid
that no dirt gets into the supply lines during the assembly process.
must be observed when using the undercarriage hydraulic system. Please contact the
manufacturer where necessary for permitted values.
sealing elements etc. against outside influences. Any repair work should only be carried out
by a specialist workshop.
Feeding hydraulic oil either direct or via the drive brake valve and a connecting line to the
brake connection of the compact unit opens the brake.
Pressure ranges within which the brakes can be vented must be observed. Only completely
vented brakes allow wear-free and fault free operation of the complete drive.
Use of a separate hydraulic circuit for supplying the brakes is recommended if operating
without parking brake valve.
The unlocking device is located on the outside of the transmission and is held in its normal
position by bolts (1).
To unlock the parking brake, remove the bolts and screw in the claw clutch.
Attention must be paid that the unlocking device is returned to its original state when
returning to normal operation.
Whenever working on the drive, always use suitable means to secure the device against
starting up by itself or being started by others.
An undercarriage that is not connected with the track by the sprocket is not secured against
movement by the transmission brake. This means that the undercarriage must be secured
separately when removing the drive.
Opening the track first is a precondition for fitting/removing the drive (see "Track" chapter).

The transmission [1] must be inserted carefully into the side frame so that there is no
damage to the flange surfaces. Check transmission seating for correct installation. Fasten
the transmission in place by inserting bolts [2] and washers [3] in the frame. Screw into place
by hand. Check again to ensure that transmission seating is correct.
Clean all locating/joining surfaces thoroughly. Hoist the sprocket with hoisting gear onto the
transmission and tighten onto the hub of the transmission without any heavy knocks.
Insert the bolts (1) and washers(2) for fastening the sprocket (3) into the holes and screw
into the thread in the transmission (4) by hand. Pre-tighten all bolts in the correct order and
then to correct tension using a torque wrench (see torque level table).
Slacken off track and undo track lock (see "Track" chapter).
Remove dirt from all parts and fastening elements. Use hoisting gear to secure the sprocket
against falling over. Undo the bolts on the driving wheel crosswise and remove completely.
Remove the driving wheel from transmission seat by tapping lightly with rubber hammer. If
provided, insert pull-off bolts into provided threaded holes and tighten evenly. Push the
sprocket off the transmission seat in this way and lift out using the hoisting gear.
Remove dirt from all parts and fastening elements. Use hoisting gear to secure the
transmission against falling over. Undo the bolts on the frame crosswise and remove
completely.
Loosen the transmission from the frame seat by tapping lightly with rubber hammer, then lift
the transmission out of the frame carefully using the hoisting gear.
Always replace the complete component if it fails. Only use specialist workshops for repairs.
The transmission must be filled with fresh clean oil before starting up for the first time (see
details of lubricants for types of oil).
See the "Inspection intervals" table for intervals for oil checks or change.
Drive the machine onto a horizontal surface in a position where appropriate access to the
drive transmission is possible (see illustration).
Position the transmission so that the oil drain plug (2) is positioned vertically at its lowest
point (about 6 o'clock). The oil filler plug (1) should then be on the left or right outside of the
transmission middle (about 10 or 2 o'clock).
Fill up with oil until the level has reached the height of the filling hole. Insert filler plug with
new washer and tighten.
Danger of scalds and burns from hot transmission oil. The transmission housing may also be
hot after running for longer periods. Always wear protective gloves and allow the
transmission to cool down first. Collect draining oil in appropriate containers and dispose of in
an environmentally safe manner.

The front idler with sliding blocks (1) has a lifetime oil lubrication filling. The running surfaces
have been hardened to reduce wear. The yoke (2) acts as a transmission element between
the front idler and the following components. The spring unit (3) acts as protection for the
complete undercarriage against overloads from outer influences (e.g. dirt) and is therefore an

The front idler (1) runs in the steel mount (2) with its sliding blocks and can move in a
longitudinal direction.
The friction surfaces of the front idler guidance in the frame are greased to minimise wear
(carried factory side during initial assembly).
Other components may be fastened on the front idler depending on the type of front
idler.
The function of the spring is to secure the complete undercarriage against overloads. An
overload can be caused by external influences (e.g. dirt accumulation) resulting in an
increase in track tension. Under these circumstances, the spring element action provides
relief for all components.
The spring can only operate perfectly as long as there is no significant dirt accumulation on
the spring.
The track is provided with the necessary pre-tension by the tensioning cylinder. In the event
of wear occurring to the undercarriage components or if there are changes in terrain
conditions, it will be necessary to adjust the tension of the track up or down (see chapter
Setting Track Pre-tension, Crawler Track).
Access to the grease tensioner is through hand holes (1) that are located at the sides in the
steel frame (1) (illus. below).

The hand holes may be closed by covering plates 2)with bolt (3).
Attention must be paid to the state of wear of the track in order to avoid damage to the track
tensioner.

Re-tensioning is not permitted after reaching the wear limits for the track as this would cause
excess strain on the undercarriage components beyond the permitted limits and there would
no longer be any safety against forced breakage.
Under all circumstances, appropriate steps must be taken whenever working on the front
idler unit to ensure that the device cannot start up of its own accord or through intervention
by others. An undercarriage, which is not connected with the track by the sprocket, is not
prevented from moving by the gear brake. This means that the undercarriage must be
secured separately.
Furthermore, attention must be drawn to the dangers that can occur when working on or with
spring elements.
If a tension rod is damaged or broken, there is danger that a coil spring will not remain
in its pre-tensioned position but will force the front idler out of the frame through
sudden de-tensioning when the track is removed (see fig. 1., chap. Types of Spring
Elements Æ Coil spring).
This possible danger is detectable by the track remaining tensioned even after releasing the
pre-tension pressure out of the grease tensioner.
The spring elements that operate on a nitrogen or elastomer basis are high-pressure
containers that under no circumstances should be subjected to additional stress through
incorrect handling or external heat application.
If handling the track tensioners, make sure that any emerging oil or grease is collected and
disposed of in an environmentally correct manner.
The crawler track must be opened first before being able to fit or remove the front idler unit
(see Crawler Track chapter).
5.4.2 Removal
Removal is carried out analogue to the above in reverse order.
6.1.1 In general
The carrier rollers/support rails are supplied as complete unit. The complete unit has to be
exchanged in the event of any damage, repairs or upon reaching wear limits.
6.1.3 Function
The carrier rollers fulfill the following functions:
The running surface of the carrier rollers/support rails has been hardened (not in the case of
plastic support rails) to prevent wear. It is fitted with a "lifetime" seal (carrier rollers) in order
to prevent penetration by dirt and any loss of oil.
The carrier rollers are fitted as complete unit at the intended installation points above the
steel bearers and are ready for immediate use.
NOTE:
These fitting/removal instructions also apply analogue for two-sided bearing support rollers
and for the support rails
The only difference to the displayed fitting/removal of one-sided bearing carrier rollers is the
number and position of the bolts.

8.2.1 Function
The following functions are fulfilled by crawler tracks with grouser shoes:
The running surface of the crawler track has been hardened to reduce wear.
8.3.1 In general
These instructions describe the correct method of fastening the shoes onto the track.
Incorrect assembly is the most common cause for failure of the connection between grouser
shoe and crawler track.
• Remove all forms of foreign bodies/materials from the contact surfaces of the
links, which could get into the connection with the shoes and the bolts (e.g.
paint, primer, rust, dirt etc.). Brushing or grinding lightly can achieve this.
• Clean the contact surfaces and the nut seats of the track links
• Coat the thread and contact surfaces underneath the bolt heads with a thin
layer of oil (preferably) or grease
Grouser shoes
Further checks must be made at regular intervals based on the experience of the machine
owner/operator and/or the recommendation of the machine manufacturer. If the bolts can be
turned on by more than 90° at required torque setting during an inspection, have the
complete grouser shoe fitted again new as described above.
The turning angle method is used in order to exclude the influence of the friction factor as far
as possible. That is why it should be given preference over the torque procedure.
The torque levels are for specified for ISO strength classes 11.9, 12.9 and special bolts 13.9.
8.4.2 Turning angle procedure (to be given preference under site conditions)
With this process, the bolts are first tightened crosswise as described to a pre-set torque
according to the table.After this, ideal pre-stressing of the bolts is achieved by subsequent
turn through 120° (1/3 of a turn).A defined plastic deformation of the bolts can occur with this
procedure so that maximum pre-stressing is achieved for the individual bolts.
In both cases, tightening the bolts in excess of specifications leads to stress on the bolts
beyond the yield point combined with non-permitted plastic deformation and the danger of a
premature failure of the bolt connection.
Important!
There must be sag of 2-3 cm over a length
(L) of 1-1.5 m. This applies linear for the
free length (L) smaller or greater than 1-
1.5 m (at least 4 track elements).
Remove the connector upon completion of the tensioning process. The undercarriage should
now be moved back and forth by about 1 turn of the sprocket. Check position of the tracks on
front idler and sprocket.
Tracks that are too loose can slip out of the flanges of the rollers, sprocket and front idler and
increase wear.
Tracks that are too tight increase the wear on the front idler and drive bearings as well as the
wear on track pins and bushings.
It also requires greater motor output for driving and consequently a higher consumption of
fuel.
Depending on the design, it is possible that there is no sag in the upper strand on some
models. In this case, the track tension can be set by pressure measurement in the tensioning
element or by lifting the undercarriage (measurement of the sag in the upper strand – the
above rules for the distances L and f also apply in this case).
9. Other/Special components
9.1. Track guide – Function and operation
9.1.1 In general
Track guides are used wherever track sag occurs on undercarriages while travelling over
obstructions. The result is that the track can run outside the flanges of the track rollers.
There are various types of track guides. Differentiation is made between welded and bolted
designs. There are also designs that cover the complete length of the undercarriage and
others that are fitted in sections.
9.1.3 Function
Track guide acts as a "threading aid" for the track. If sagging occurs in the track, it comes
away from the track rollers. As the sag recedes, the track guide ensures that the track and
the track roller are properly aligned again.
In the case of the welded design, the undercarriage has to be raised in order to be able to fit
the track guide because there is no possibility of fitting the chain guide from the side. After
raising the undercarriage, the track guide is mounted onto the undercarriage with bolts.
Removal is analogue in reverse order.
In the case of bolted designs, they can be fitted without raising the undercarriage because
the track guide is in several parts. In this case, one side of the track guide is bolted onto the
undercarriage. The cross link is then connected to the first side of the track guide. The
second side of the track guide is then bolted onto the cross-link. The second side is then
bolted onto the undercarriage. Removal is analogue in reverse order.
Attention must be paid that there is no contact between the track guide and the track roller
body and that there is adequate play between the track guide and the track (pin boss of the
track).
9.2. Covers
9.2.1 In general
Covers are shown in the following illustration, they occur on all standard undercarriages (not
all covers are present on all undercarriages).
It is also possible that additional covers are present on the undercarriage that are not shown
in the illustration. Typical covers are for the hydraulic motor or for the hand hole for access to
the lubrication nipple of the tensioning element.
Take care when handling the plates as they can be very heavy depending on size and can
therefore cause injuries.
9.2.2 Function
Covers made of sheet metal are used on an undercarriage. They are used for:
• Covering units and hydraulic lines
• Protection against dirt and contamination
• Protecting people against injury
Warning signs
Warning:
Safety regulations and measures that protect the drive and other persons against injury and

Caution :
Particular instructions to prevent damage to the vehicle. Failure to observe these instructions
can lead to warranty becoming void.
NB:
Particular instructions for better handling during operations , control and setting procedures
as well as maintenance work .
1.1. Foreword
These operating instructions are a part of the scope of delivery. They are to be kept close at
hand and are to remain with the machine if being sold again.
All details , data and illustration container in these operatine instructions are subject to
change as result of technical developments.
1.2. In general
This undercarriage has been constructed to "state of the art" standards and is operationally
safe.
Nevertheless, machines can be the source of danger if they continue to be operated although
a fault is suspected or has already occurred or it has been repaired incorrectly.
The machine must be shut down immediately if a fault is suspected or has already occurred
which could endanger the safety of the operator, other persons on site or surrounding
facilities and equipment etc.
All components have been carefully matched to each other. Fault-free operation and a long
service life are only possible if original spare parts are used.
.
1.3.1 Personnel
Only properly trained and authorized personnel with appropriate specialist knowledge are to
be appointed with maintenance and repair work.
Appropriate measures must be taken before commencing any work on the undercarriage to
ensure that the equipment cannot start up unintentionally or be started up inadvertently by
others (e.g. blocks). All switching on and off procedures must be observed for this.
Protective equipment and clothing is mandatory for all work. Wear protective helmets, shoes
and gloves. Close fitting clothes help to avoid injuries.
If assistants are required to help in carrying out work, responsibilities must be clarified
beforehand so that there is no possibility of unclear competence occurring with regard to
safety aspects.
All lifting and fastening devices on the crawler undercarriage are only designed for the
transportation of the undercarriage unless otherwise specified.
Metal splinters may break off and cause injuries when driving equipment bolts in or out. For
this reason, always wear safety goggles when driving bolts in or out.
Equipment or components which are being fitted or removed or where their installation
position is being changed must be secured against unintentional movement, slipping or
falling over using suitable lifting gear of suspension/support devices.
Systems and units (i.e. tensioning units) must be depressurized in an appropriate manner
before opening.
2. Warranty
Applicable conditions of warranty are stipulated in the confirmation of order.
Safety instructions
Suitable safety measures must be taken to avoid scalding and burning when the machine
has warmed up (i.e. at operating temperature), as operating media are then at least the same
temperature.
Do not smoke if handling combustible fluids.
Caution with fire and naked flames. Not only fuel but also other operating media often have a
low flash point and ignite easily.
Lubricants that are not being reused must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
Undercarriage components must be replaced by new parts if they are worn to 100 %.
Otherwise, sudden machine failure is possible.
Careful and regular measurements are necessary in order to establish the extent of wear and
when replacements will be necessary.

4.1. Technical features
Builder:TRASMITAL
Model: 713 C3B
Transmission ratio: 142
Motor capacity: 107 cc
Motor velocity: 1542 (1/min)
Output torque: 7351 daNm
Driving force: 17095 daN.
The transmission is designed exclusively for use as drive transmission for an undercarriage.
The sprocket (3) is available in standard, HD or special design with dirt pockets for packing
ground conditions.
Components adjoining the track are surface hardened to minimise wear. The connection to
the driving wheel and transmission is established with HF bolts (4). The necessary torque
levels for these are shown in the attached tables.
The drive traction is transmitted to the track via the motor, transmission and sprocket.
1 - hydraulic motor

A particular feature of the gear is its very compact and therefore space-saving design.
The gear can be fitted with an integrated multi-disc brake, which acts as parking brake. This
is activated by spring force and released hydraulically with pressure oil. The multi-disc brake
must be released without fail before switching on the drive hydraulic.
4.2.4 Commissioning
The transmission is supplied ready for installation without oil filling. Starting up or using the
drive without any lubricant would lead to destruction of the transmission in next to no time.
See the chapter "Filling with transmission oil" for filling, topping-up or checking oil.
The transmission has been treated internally with a preservative agent that provides around
6 months protection against corrosion if stored under dry conditions. This internal
preservation does not have to be removed when starting up.
When fitting the hydraulic lines for parking brakes and hydraulic motor, make sure that no dirt
or other foreign bodies get into the transmission or hydraulic motor.
4.3. Lubricants
The viscosity rating on the rating plate on the transmission and the following requirements
must be observed!
Only the necessary viscosity ISO-VG 150 and ISO-VG 220 for normal operating conditions
from 10° to 30° C is stated on the rating plate.
For lower operating temperatures, use oil with a lower viscosity (SAE 80W - 90) and for
higher temperatures, us oil with higher viscosity (SAE 85W - 140).
Remove the protective caps when connecting the hydraulic hoses. Attention must be paid
that no dirt gets into the supply lines during the assembly process.
must be observed when using the undercarriage hydraulic system. Please contact the
manufacturer where necessary for permitted values.
sealing elements etc. against outside influences. Any repair work should only be carried out
by a specialist workshop.
Feeding hydraulic oil either direct or via the drive brake valve and a connecting line to the
brake connection of the compact unit opens the brake.
Pressure ranges within which the brakes can be vented must be observed. Only completely
vented brakes allow wear-free and fault free operation of the complete drive.
Use of a separate hydraulic circuit for supplying the brakes is recommended if operating
without parking brake valve.
The unlocking device is located on the outside of the transmission and is held in its normal
position by bolts (1).
To unlock the parking brake, remove the bolts and screw in the claw clutch.
Attention must be paid that the unlocking device is returned to its original state when
returning to normal operation.
Whenever working on the drive, always use suitable means to secure the device against
starting up by itself or being started by others.
An undercarriage that is not connected with the track by the sprocket is not secured against
movement by the transmission brake. This means that the undercarriage must be secured
separately when removing the drive.
Opening the track first is a precondition for fitting/removing the drive (see "Track" chapter).

The transmission [1] must be inserted carefully into the side frame so that there is no
damage to the flange surfaces. Check transmission seating for correct installation. Fasten
the transmission in place by inserting bolts [2] and washers [3] in the frame. Screw into place
by hand. Check again to ensure that transmission seating is correct.
Clean all locating/joining surfaces thoroughly. Hoist the sprocket with hoisting gear onto the
transmission and tighten onto the hub of the transmission without any heavy knocks.
Insert the bolts (1) and washers(2) for fastening the sprocket (3) into the holes and screw
into the thread in the transmission (4) by hand. Pre-tighten all bolts in the correct order and
then to correct tension using a torque wrench (see torque level table).
Slacken off track and undo track lock (see "Track" chapter).
Remove dirt from all parts and fastening elements. Use hoisting gear to secure the sprocket
against falling over. Undo the bolts on the driving wheel crosswise and remove completely.
Remove the driving wheel from transmission seat by tapping lightly with rubber hammer. If
provided, insert pull-off bolts into provided threaded holes and tighten evenly. Push the
sprocket off the transmission seat in this way and lift out using the hoisting gear.
Remove dirt from all parts and fastening elements. Use hoisting gear to secure the
transmission against falling over. Undo the bolts on the frame crosswise and remove
completely.
Loosen the transmission from the frame seat by tapping lightly with rubber hammer, then lift
the transmission out of the frame carefully using the hoisting gear.
Always replace the complete component if it fails. Only use specialist workshops for repairs.
The transmission must be filled with fresh clean oil before starting up for the first time (see
details of lubricants for types of oil).
See the "Inspection intervals" table for intervals for oil checks or change.
Drive the machine onto a horizontal surface in a position where appropriate access to the
drive transmission is possible (see illustration).
Position the transmission so that the oil drain plug (2) is positioned vertically at its lowest
point (about 6 o'clock). The oil filler plug (1) should then be on the left or right outside of the
transmission middle (about 10 or 2 o'clock).
Fill up with oil until the level has reached the height of the filling hole. Insert filler plug with
new washer and tighten.
Danger of scalds and burns from hot transmission oil. The transmission housing may also be
hot after running for longer periods. Always wear protective gloves and allow the
transmission to cool down first. Collect draining oil in appropriate containers and dispose of in

Place oil collection container underneath the transmission. Undo and remove oil filler plug (1)
and oil drain plug (2). Drain oil completely. Insert drain plug with new washer and tighten.
4.8. Motor
The motor is maintenance free and only has to be checked visually for leaks during
inspection.
The brake circuit must be vented (bled) after working on the brake or the hydraulic
connections.

The front idler with sliding blocks (1) has a lifetime oil lubrication filling. The running surfaces
have been hardened to reduce wear. The yoke (2) acts as a transmission element between
the front idler and the following components. The spring unit (3) acts as protection for the
complete undercarriage against overloads from outer influences (e.g. dirt) and is therefore an
important component of the undercarriage.

1) = Front idler
2) = Sliding block
3) = Yoke
The front idler (1) runs in the steel mount (2) with its sliding blocks and can move in a
longitudinal direction.
The friction surfaces of the front idler guidance in the frame are greased to minimise wear
(carried factory side during initial assembly).
Other components may be fastened on the front idler depending on the type of front
idler.
The function of the spring is to secure the complete undercarriage against overloads. An
overload can be caused by external influences (e.g. dirt accumulation) resulting in an
increase in track tension. Under these circumstances, the spring element action provides
relief for all components.
The spring can only operate perfectly as long as there is no significant dirt accumulation on
the spring.
The track is provided with the necessary pre-tension by the tensioning cylinder. In the event
of wear occurring to the undercarriage components or if there are changes in terrain
conditions, it will be necessary to adjust the tension of the track up or down (see chapter
Setting Track Pre-tension, Crawler Track).
Access to the grease tensioner is through hand holes (1) that are located at the sides in the
steel frame (1) (illus. below).

The hand holes may be closed by covering plates 2)with bolt (3).
Attention must be paid to the state of wear of the track in order to avoid damage to the track
tensioner.

Re-tensioning is not permitted after reaching the wear limits for the track as this would cause
excess strain on the undercarriage components beyond the permitted limits and there would
no longer be any safety against forced breakage.
Under all circumstances, appropriate steps must be taken whenever working on the front
idler unit to ensure that the device cannot start up of its own accord or through intervention
by others. An undercarriage, which is not connected with the track by the sprocket, is not
prevented from moving by the gear brake. This means that the undercarriage must be
secured separately.
Furthermore, attention must be drawn to the dangers that can occur when working on or with
spring elements.
If a tension rod is damaged or broken, there is danger that a coil spring will not remain
in its pre-tensioned position but will force the front idler out of the frame through
sudden de-tensioning when the track is removed (see fig. 1., chap. Types of Spring
Elements Æ Coil spring).
This possible danger is detectable by the track remaining tensioned even after releasing the
pre-tension pressure out of the grease tensioner.
The spring elements that operate on a nitrogen or elastomer basis are high-pressure
containers that under no circumstances should be subjected to additional stress through
incorrect handling or external heat application.
If handling the track tensioners, make sure that any emerging oil or grease is collected and
disposed of in an environmentally correct manner.
The crawler track must be opened first before being able to fit or remove the front idler unit
(see Crawler Track chapter).
5.4.2 Removal
Removal is carried out analogue to the above in reverse order.
6.1.1 In general
The carrier rollers/support rails are supplied as complete unit. The complete unit has to be
exchanged in the event of any damage, repairs or upon reaching wear limits.
6.1.3 Function
The carrier rollers fulfill the following functions:
The running surface of the carrier rollers/support rails has been hardened (not in the case of
plastic support rails) to prevent wear. It is fitted with a "lifetime" seal (carrier rollers) in order
to prevent penetration by dirt and any loss of oil.
The carrier rollers are fitted as complete unit at the intended installation points above the
steel bearers and are ready for immediate use.
NOTE:
These fitting/removal instructions also apply analogue for two-sided bearing support rollers
and for the support rails
The only difference to the displayed fitting/removal of one-sided bearing carrier rollers is the
number and position of the bolts.

8.2.1 Function
The following functions are fulfilled by crawler tracks with grouser shoes:
The running surface of the crawler track has been hardened to reduce wear.
8.3.1 In general
These instructions describe the correct method of fastening the shoes onto the track.
Incorrect assembly is the most common cause for failure of the connection between grouser
shoe and crawler track.
• Remove all forms of foreign bodies/materials from the contact surfaces of the
links, which could get into the connection with the shoes and the bolts (e.g.
paint, primer, rust, dirt etc.). Brushing or grinding lightly can achieve this.
• Clean the contact surfaces and the nut seats of the track links
• Coat the thread and contact surfaces underneath the bolt heads with a thin
layer of oil (preferably) or grease
Grouser shoes
Further checks must be made at regular intervals based on the experience of the machine
owner/operator and/or the recommendation of the machine manufacturer. If the bolts can be
turned on by more than 90° at required torque setting during an inspection, have the
complete grouser shoe fitted again new as described above.
The turning angle method is used in order to exclude the influence of the friction factor as far
as possible. That is why it should be given preference over the torque procedure.
The torque levels are for specified for ISO strength classes 11.9, 12.9 and special bolts 13.9.
8.4.2 Turning angle procedure (to be given preference under site conditions)
With this process, the bolts are first tightened crosswise as described to a pre-set torque
according to the table.After this, ideal pre-stressing of the bolts is achieved by subsequent
turn through 120° (1/3 of a turn).A defined plastic deformation of the bolts can occur with this
procedure so that maximum pre-stressing is achieved for the individual bolts.
In both cases, tightening the bolts in excess of specifications leads to stress on the bolts
beyond the yield point combined with non-permitted plastic deformation and the danger of a
premature failure of the bolt connection.
Important!
There must be sag of 2-3 cm over a length
(L) of 1-1.5 m. This applies linear for the
free length (L) smaller or greater than 1-
1.5 m (at least 4 track elements).
Remove the connector upon completion of the tensioning process. The undercarriage should
now be moved back and forth by about 1 turn of the sprocket. Check position of the tracks on
front idler and sprocket.
Tracks that are too loose can slip out of the flanges of the rollers, sprocket and front idler and
increase wear.
Tracks that are too tight increase the wear on the front idler and drive bearings as well as the
wear on track pins and bushings.
It also requires greater motor output for driving and consequently a higher consumption of
fuel.
Depending on the design, it is possible that there is no sag in the upper strand on some
models. In this case, the track tension can be set by pressure measurement in the tensioning
element or by lifting the undercarriage (measurement of the sag in the upper strand – the
above rules for the distances L and f also apply in this case).
9. Other/Special components
9.1. Track guide – Function and operation
9.1.1 In general
Track guides are used wherever track sag occurs on undercarriages while travelling over
obstructions. The result is that the track can run outside the flanges of the track rollers.
There are various types of track guides. Differentiation is made between welded and bolted
designs. There are also designs that cover the complete length of the undercarriage and
others that are fitted in sections.
9.1.3 Function
Track guide acts as a "threading aid" for the track. If sagging occurs in the track, it comes
away from the track rollers. As the sag recedes, the track guide ensures that the track and
the track roller are properly aligned again.
In the case of the welded design, the undercarriage has to be raised in order to be able to fit
the track guide because there is no possibility of fitting the chain guide from the side. After
raising the undercarriage, the track guide is mounted onto the undercarriage with bolts.
Removal is analogue in reverse order.
In the case of bolted designs, they can be fitted without raising the undercarriage because
the track guide is in several parts. In this case, one side of the track guide is bolted onto the
undercarriage. The cross link is then connected to the first side of the track guide. The
second side of the track guide is then bolted onto the cross-link. The second side is then
bolted onto the undercarriage. Removal is analogue in reverse order.
Attention must be paid that there is no contact between the track guide and the track roller
body and that there is adequate play between the track guide and the track (pin boss of the
track).
9.2. Covers
9.2.1 In general
Covers are shown in the following illustration, they occur on all standard undercarriages (not
all covers are present on all undercarriages).
It is also possible that additional covers are present on the undercarriage that are not shown
in the illustration. Typical covers are for the hydraulic motor or for the hand hole for access to
the lubrication nipple of the tensioning element.
Take care when handling the plates as they can be very heavy depending on size and can
therefore cause injuries.
9.2.2 Function
Covers made of sheet metal are used on an undercarriage. They are used for:
• Covering units and hydraulic lines
• Protection against dirt and contamination
• Protecting people against injury

(vi). Ensure that there is adequate space around the Host Machine to carry out the relevant maintenance or
repair.
(vii). Ensure that the Host Machine is "Locked Out" as per the Host Machine's instruction manual.
TRANSPORTATION
(i). Trackline Tracks will usually be delivered to the Host client on a trailer. Before unloading the Tracks from
the trailer ensure that you have a suitable lifting device. We strongly recommend that you use a forklift truck
to lift and/or transport the Tracks. Whatever lifting device is used it must have a lifting capacity equal to or
above the weight of each individual track. (The weight of each Track is shown on the Serial plate)
(ii). Ensure that only trained staff are allowed to unload or transport the tracks.
(iv). Ensure that the Tracks are unloaded and/or transported in accordance with the procedures given in
section 3.2.
(v). Ensure that the tracks are stored correctly as shown in section 3.2.
(ii). The forklift truck that you use should have a lifting
capacity equal to or more than the weight of any individual
track. To find the weight of each track refer to the serial plate
located on the side of each track frame.
(B)
(iii). Only allow trained forklift operators to transport tracks.
(v). To lift the Track place the forklift toes between the bottom
Track Rollers on the underside of the Track Frame, as shown in
(B) and (C). The toes should lift against the flat underside
edge of the Track Frame.
(vii). When lifting the Track ensure that the end of the toes are
at least six inches past the Track Frame. Tilt the toes up
slightly to avoid the Track sliding off. In wet conditions extra
care should be taken as the wet increases the chances of
Tracks sliding off the toes.
FITTING TRACKS TO
HOST MACHINERY
(ii). Ensure that lifting equipment of adequate capacity is used to fit the tracks.
(iii). Ensure that the Host machine is stable and is supported well enough to take the weight of not only
itself but also the weight of both Tracks when they are fitted.
(iv). Ensure that the correct equipment, tools, safety devices and personal protection are used.
(v). Ensure that there is adequate space around the Host machine to manoeuvre the Tracks into
place.
In order to ensure that the Tracks operate correctly for a long life time, (A).
it is imperative that each Track Set is fitted correctly to each Host
Machine.
A suitable design for mounting the Tracks to the Host Machine should
have been discussed with Trackline engineers, at the time of initial
purchase. Therefore, the agreed mounting design should be used on
each and every Host Machine of that type.
Where the Host Client wishes to fit similar Tracks to different Host
Machines they should not assume that the same mounting design will
be acceptable. Always consult Trackline before fitting Tracks to
(B)
different Host Machines.
IMPORTANT:
No alterations, additions or changes should be made to the Tracks or
the mounting design during fitting or at any other time without
Trackline authorisation. Where changes are made to the Host (C)
Machine, which alter it's weight, Trackline should also be notified.
While the Track mountings will vary between different Host Machines
some important aspects will remain the same throughout. The Host
Client should ensure that the mounting brackets are fitted correctly and
are of a suitable strength to carry the weight of the Host machine.
Trackline takes no responsibility for Track mounts which are fitted by (D)
the Host Client.
The Tracks should be fitted so that the Drive end of the Track i.e. the
(E).
Gearbox and Motor, is located at the rear end of the Host Machine
when it is being tracked forward, as shown at (E). Forward
The Tracks should be fitted exactly parallel to each other, as shown at Reverse
(A), and square to each other, as shown at (B). If the Tracks are not
fitted perfectly parallel and square, as shown at (C) and (D), excessive
wear may occur to the Track components. It is also likely that the Host Hydraulic Motor
Machine will track in a circular motion when moving. The Host & Gearbox
Machine should be also mounted parallel and central to the Tracks.
Once the Host Machine has been fitted the Track Groups should be
checked to ensure they are level and straight. Check the levelness
above the Sprocket and Idler, as shown in (F) and (G). To visually
check the straightness of the Track Group stand at one end of the
Track and look along its length. The edge of the Track Shoes should
be running perfectly straight. (G)
(viii). Ensure that suitable dowty seals are used on the hose
connection fittings to prevent leaks.
When the Tracks are delivered to the Host Client the gearboxes will not contain oil. Before operating the
Tracks the Gearboxes must be filled with oil. It is essential that the correct grade of oil is used. Refer to
section 5.6 for the correct oil type and procedures on how to fill the Gearbox with oil.
Before operating the Tracks for the first time carry out the following checks:
MAINTENANCE
(i). Ensure that adequate instruction and training has been provided to the personnel who are carrying out
any work on the Tracks.
(ii). Ensure that the personnel carrying out the work know, understand and follow the relevant procedures
shown in this manual.
(iii). Ensure that all personnel have read and understood the safety procedures shown in the Host
Machine's Operation and Safety Manual.
(iv). Ensure that the correct equipment, tools, safety devices and personal protection are used.
(v). When personnel are working with lubricants, especially Hydraulic oil, extra care must be taken. Use
proper protective gloves and eye goggles. Hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate skin. Always relieve
pressure on Hydraulic systems before unscrewing Hydraulic fittings. If even a small amount of oil
penetrates the skin seek medical help immediately.
(vi). Ensure that there is adequate space around the Host Machine to carry out the relevant maintenance or
repair.
(vii). Ensure that the Host Machine is "Locked Out" as per the Host Machine's instruction manual.
The maintenance of the Tracks is the responsibility of the Owner/User of the Host Machine. In the interests of
safety and continued plant reliability, the Tracks should be properly maintained using the following procedures
and recommendations.
(i). Re-torque all bolts after the first 50 hours of operation, followed at 250 hours of operation and then as per
the monthly schedule, see section 5.10 for bolt torque settings.
(ii). The wear limits should be checked after the first 1000 hours of operation, in addition to the monthly
checks, see section 5.7 for wear limits.
(iii). The oil in the Gearbox should be replaced after the first 200 hours of operation and every 2000 hours
thereafter or at least once per year. See section 5.9 for details on replacing the oil in the gearbox.
In addition to the above daily/weekly checks, the following checks should be carried out on a monthly basis:
(i). Re-torque all bolts, especially the Sprocket bolts, see section 5.10 for bolt torque settings.
(ii). Check all wear limits, see section 5.7 for wear limits.
(iii). Check Track Group alignment and levelness, see section 4.2 for details on Track Group alignment and
levelness.
(iv). Check the Gearbox oil level and add if necessary, see section 5.9 for details on checking the oil level.
5.6 LUBRICATION.
During the lifetime of a Track Set wear on some parts is inevitable. To ensure that damage and repair costs
due to wear are kept to a minimum it is imperative that the amount of wear on certain parts is measured
regularly. See section 5.3 for maintenance schedule. To show the maximum amount of wear that can take
place on each part we have listed the wear limits for these parts. The percentage increments of the different
stages of wear is also shown. For example, 25% wear is the initial wear taking place, 100% wear is the
maximum wear that can take place before damage is caused. Note: When 75% wear is detected operators
should schedule an overhaul and replacement of parts.
Areas where excessive wear is likely to occur is shown in red on the following illustrations.
We have also shown what we consider is the most practical way to measure wear on each part. In order to
measure for wear you will require the following tools: an outside calliper, a depth gauge and a tape measure.
Other types of wear can occur on the Track Shoe which is not
regarded as normal and should be investigated immediately.
(D)
The most common area to wear on the Track Link is the (A).
running surface, as shown at (B).
x.
A depth gauge should be used to measure from the top of
the Link running surface to the Track Shoe, as shown at (A).
Schedule a replacement service if at 75% wear. Replace
immediately if at 100% wear.
(B)
Wear Limit - Dimension x. Note: Dimensions in mm
Other types of wear can occur on the Track Link which is not
regarded as normal and should be investigated immediately. (C)
(G).
Wear occurs on the internal pins and bushings due to the (A).
circular motion of the Tracks and will normally occur as
shown at (B). When wear occurs the Track chain tends to
elongate. Therefore, to measure the extent of the wear an x.
average must be taken over a section of the chain
containing no less than four links (five pins). Do not include
the master pin in the section to be measured and ensure that
the section is on the top side of the Track. The Track should (B)
also be well tensioned.
Other problems can occur with the internal pins which are not regarded as normal and should be investigated
immediately.
Worn pin end. Can be caused if the Host Machine is operating on uneven ground, has incorrect chain
tension or Track Roller wear. Check chain tension and rotate Track Rollers where necessary.
Loose pins. This may be caused by damaged or loose Track Shoes, damaged chain links or by excessive
operation of the Host Machine.
Broken pins. This is mainly caused by excessive shock loads on the Tracks or by rocks or material jamming
between the Sprocket and the Chain Link. Ensure that material cannot get jammed between the Sprocket and
the Chains Links.
Use an outside calliper to measure the wear, as shown at Reverse Direction Wear
(B). Schedule a replacement service if wear is at 75%.
Replace immediately if at 100% wear. (B)
Note: The Link will have to be replaced as the bushing
cannot be removed.
Wear Limit - Dimension x. Note: Dimensions in mm
External
37 36.5 35.9 35.2 34.3
Bushing
Other problems can occur with the bushings which are not
regarded as normal and should be investigated immediately.
(C)
Collapse of the bushing wall. Mainly due to excessive
internal or external wear. Excessive shock loads or material
jamming between the Sprocket and the Track Link may also
cause this problem. Adjust Chain tension and ensure regular
bushing wear checks and replace immediately if 100% wear
is reached.
(D)
The Gearbox on the Tracks will be delivered to the Host Client (A)

FAULT FINDING.
To help find and remedy faults quickly we have listed several general faults that may occur during the
operating life of the Tracks.
It is of course impossible to foresee every problem that could occur, therefore, only a general fault finding
approach is provided.
(i). One Track not operating or operating slower than the other?
- Check that the same size of Motors have been fitted to both Tracks.
Fit a pressure clock to the Brake Hose. A pressure of at least 285 PSI / 20 bar is required to release the
brakes.
If the correct pressure is not going to the Brake hose it is likely to be a problem with the Motion Control Block,
possibly contamination. If a Load Control Valve should jam due to oil-entrained debris then the likelihood is
that it will not open and will not allow the motor to turn in one direction. This will cause the Host Machine to
‘crab’in one direction. Swapping the valves over from one Track to the other will usually transfer the problem
to the opposite direction.
Similarly, if the Brake Pressure Regulator Valve is jammed due to debris the motor will stop turning on one
side. Swap the Pressure Regulator from the opposite block to see if the problem is in the Brake Valve.
Try removing the Valves and cleaning them thoroughly taking care not to damage the external cavity seals.
Also check the ports in the Block for dirt etc. If this does not work replace the valves with new ones. Always
cross-reference the part numbers on the new valves with the old valve, before fitting. It is critical that the
correct Valves are fitted. Valves should never be dismantled as no internal seals or parts are available.
If the valves continue to jam then the oil in the hydraulic system is not being filtered to the required level of
cleanliness.
- If the correct pressure is going to the Brake Hose then the Motor, Brake or Brake Piston Seals may be
damaged.
- To check for a Motor fault swap over the Motors on the two Tracks. If the fault is in the Motor, replace with a
new Motor.
- To check for a faulty Brake remove the Motor and look into the Gearbox for heat discolouration and/or
fragments of Brake disc. If the fault is in the Brakes the complete Gearbox will have to be replaced.
-To check for faulty Brake Piston seals remove the Motor. If there is Hydraulic oil in the Gearbox entrance
then the seals are damaged. While it may be possible to replace these seals on-site we strongly
recommended that a replacement Gearbox is fitted and an overhaul of the damaged Gearbox be carried out
off-site.
- Grease escaping.
Check that the Track Adjuster Grease Valve is tight, has a properly fitted seal and that there is no grease
leaking past it.
Check around the Tensioning Cylinder for escaping grease. This will indicate that the seals are damaged in
the Tensioning Cylinder. Replace with a new Cylinder immediately.
- Track Group too loose. Check Track tension, see section 5.8.
- Excessive misalignment. Check alignment of Sprocket, Idler and Track Rollers.
- Excessive component wear. Check wear limits, see section 5.7.
- Twisted Track Frame. Check Track Frame.
SPARE PARTS.
To ensure that you receive the parts you require without delay we will require the following information at the
time of order:
Note: Ensure that you order all the required parts such as Bolts and Washers etc. Do not assume that such
items will automatically be sent with main components.
Each Track will have a serial plate located on the Frame as shown below. From this plate you will find the
serial number and model number as shown.
Serial
Plate

3/2007 1 (4)
1. DANGEROUS PLACES
- pulleys and sprockets, especially gaps between the pulley and the belt / the
sprockets and chains
- on belt conveyors rollers, gaps between rollers and the belt, especially in
places with boards
- on chain conveyors chains and sprockets
- hatches when open
- drive mechanism, rotating and moving parts
- counterweight take-up devices, moving take-up carriage
- generally, a running or starting belt is dangerous
- falling and rolling material
- electrical accidents, e.g. during repair work
- falling or slipping of persons
- hazardous dust and noise
- fire and explosion hazard caused by the material to be handled
2. DANGEROUS SITUATIONS
- the equipment is started when there are persons near to the dangerous
places of the conveyor system
- accidental starts, remote and automatic starts
- maintenance, repair and cleaning near to a running or starting machine
- accidental start has not been prevented (the safety switch has not been
used, no warning sign or lock)
- clearing of a jam on a equipment or hopper
- safety or security device is missing or it does not function
- material on the passage or walkway, uncleanliness
- first start and trial runs in the installation phase
3/2007 2 (4)
- Never try to clean shafts, sprockets, chains, pulleys, rollers or belt cleaners
when the conveyor is running.
- E.g. in case of jam the conveyor belt or chain can be still under tension
which can rotate the belt/chain and pulleys/shafts when being discharged
despite the safety switch. That is why make always sure before clearing a
jam that the chain, belt or the counterweight will not cause a hazard when
the possible tension will be discharged. The tension can be eliminated from
the belt, e.g. by detaching the back-rotation preventing brake.
- When maintaining ascending chain conveyors take into account that chains
must be locked to prevent the crash of chains. The locking of the chains
must be done for example when shorten or repairing chains and always if
someone goes inside the chain conveyor.
- When the feed hopper is entered, it is also necessary to prevent the running
of the feeding device by means of a safety switch.
- When the mobile conveyor are serviced, it is necessary to prevent also the
operation of the transfer mechanism by means of a safety switch.
- The covers and doors of electrical equipment and boxes have to be kept
closed. The electrical installation and repair work may be performed only by
an authorized firm.
- Risk of rolling or falling material may occur with some materials and
equipment in special situations. In this case it is forbidden to stay under the
machine; wear a protecting helmet and goggles.
3/2007 3 (4)
- Hazard of being caught by moving and rotating parts of the machine if you
do wear unproper clothing near them, e.g. hanging pieces of cloth; wear
appropriate protective clothing.
- start pre-warning:
a device giving an acoustic alarm and/or light signal which warns of the start
of the conveyor system/equipment
- safety switch:
by turning the safety switch to the position "0" the start of the drive motor of
the machine can be prevented reliably, e.g. for the maintenance.
The safety switch can be locked in the position "0" by a padlock.
3/2007 4 (4)
The material to be transported and its dust may require that the fire or
explosion hazard is taken into account. In this case the fire protection
regulations and instructions given for the plant are to be observed.
The fire alarm and extinction devices must always be at the disposal and in
working order when the conveyor is operated.
The conveyor belts may be different as to the fire resistance and burning
properties. This must be taken into account when making the plans for fire
protection.
5. MATERIAL DUST
The dust leaking out from the conveyor equipment, mainly near the hoppers,
can cause a hazard because the visibility will be worse. Depending on the
material to be handled, the dust can be hazardous for health when inhaled
continuously.
The dust extraction devices must always be switched on and in working order
when the conveyor system is running.
6. NOISE
The noise level in hoppers and chutes integrated with equipment may be high
because of the material flow, depending on the material.
In some machine the noise level may be high near the drive machinery.
If the noise level at some points exceeds the allowable limits, these points
must be equipped with a warning sign, and it is necessary to wear ear
protectors.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
29.6.05/JPa 1 (1)
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION
DUST
Rock and stone crushing creates dust, which stays at the material handling site and its
surroundings, even when not handling the material. When conveying material by conveyors
dust is created often at loading and unloading points.
Dust may be so fine that it cannot be seen. It is hazardous to inhale the dust.
Breathing dust will cause death or severe injury. Always wear approved respirator.
See enclosed appendix “Danger”.
• Always use an approved respirator when outdoor (outside the cabin). Make sure that
the respirator is in good condition.
• Always keep the cabin door closed.
• Keep the cabin clean. Clean the cabin with a vacuum cleaner daily
• Change the cabin air filter regularly with original spare part.
Make sure that dust suppression system at your site is working properly. Keep the dusting
at minimum level at site.

COMMISSIONING
1. Commissioning inspections
The inspection shall be carried out by a person who knows well the
equipment to be inspected, commissioner and/or installation supervisor.
The commissioning forms are used as a check list and instructions for the
inspection, and they will be documents concerning the inspections and
regulations carried out.
2. First start
It is very important to carry out the first start of the belt conveyor with
caution and control, because there is a big risk of various damages.
Before the first start the commissioning inspections have to be carried out to
the extent that it is possible without running the motor.
Immediately after the first short start, make sure that the belt remains
sufficiently centered.
The belt is centered in accordance with the instruction ROX 11-02-20, par. 2.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
The belt conveyor has to be run without material during several hours,
sometimes even during several days, before the run with material can be
started.
When the conveyor is run without material, check the function of all electrical
safety devices and lockings.
Check that the sound, tightness and temperature of the reducer are normal.
The trial run with material is started with a small quantity of material,
observing the function of the hoppers and the centering of the belt.
If the material is not guided to the center of the belt, adjust and repair the
hopper accordingly.
Increase the quantity of the material to be fed onto the conveyor until the
normal/maximum capacity is achieved, carry out the necessary adjustments
to the feed hopper and the belt.
21.10.05/JPa 1 (2)
MOBILE FEEDER
Mobile Feeder is installed to chassis of Mobil unit. There are transport and
operation positions for the Feeder, see RRA4811-J2.
When finding out correct operation position for the Feeder the angle of ascent
is most important. The idea of adjustable angle of ascent is to have a free
material flow from hopper to next equipment. That means that the flow from
pile along the belt has proper material height (about 150 - 350 mm) without
cutting at gate after the hopper. More detailed instructions, see Functional
Description from this manual.
The frame of the mobile Feeder is equipped with rails, supporting wheels are
installed to the chassis of Mobile unit. The Feeder moves along rails by
means of separate lifting cylinder and support construction equipped with joint
mechanism.
2. Safety
Respect all instructions given and general caution. Follow instructions issued
by local authorities. Perform all maintenance and repairs only when Feeder is
in transport position. Note all safety instructions in this manual like
ROX11-01-07 before any operations. Special dangerous points and situations
are among other things following:
• Breathing dust will cause death or severe injury. Always wear approved
respirator
• When lifting or declining the Feeder there are gaps between the chassis
of mobile and Feeder. Keep always safety distance to that risk zone
• When regulating Feeder from operation position to transport position the
Feeder moves along rails. The space at rear of Feeder decreases
producing a risk of clamping in case there is solid construction or similar
close to the Feeder. Keep always safety distance to that risk zone
• To prevent entanglement at a rotating part or moving part; ensure that the
gap guards are always installed when operating
• In case the hopper of Feeder is too full the falling stones are dangerous,
keep always the safety distance of 10 meters to the Feeder.
• Falling/rolling material from the belt or hopper. Keep safety distance and
prevent personnel enter to risk zone
• Unexpected starts; ensure the warning device function and use a safety
switch
21.10.05/JPa 2 (2)
3. Maintenance
For safety reasons service and cleaning works can be carried out only when
the Feeder is on transport position.
Records
All actions related to the scheduled maintenance, part replacing and damages
must be recorded in the Maintenance Log.

FOREWORD
This instruction manual is for the use of personnel engaged in the tasks of
assembly, inspection, operation and maintenance. It must be kept always in a
place of easy access and the people must carefully become familiar with it.
The instructions, guidance and illustrations contained in this manual are necessary
for proper assembly, inspection, adjusting, start-up, operation and maintenance of
the belt conveyor.
An operator new to the Sandvik Hollola conveyor will find from this manual all
basic information of conveyor and its operation. Operational skills develop as
experience increases.
However, Sandvik Mining and Construction Hollola Oy reserves the right to modify
the conveyor without notice.
09.08.2007 1 (1)
GUARANTEE
The using of Sandvik Hollola original spare parts as well as the recorded
Maintenance Log covering the guarantee period is precondition for the
guarantee.
The Feeder installation to CrawlMaster. Control and Power system are not in
the scope of Sandvik Hollola.
General
The Feeder has 2 basic positions: Transport and Operation position. See
drawing RRA 4811-J1. The Operation position must be adjusted case by case
to have a proper inclination of the belt Feeder and desired discharge point to
next equipment. The hopper of Feeder can be loaded by another conveyor or
by wheel louder.
The idea of adjustable inclination is to have a free material flow from hopper to
next equipment without any cutting at gate after the hopper. That
arrangement is to minimising the wear and torque needed.
The Feeder must be on horizontal area of rails when running with material to
decrease loads to lifting mechanism (see RRA 4811-J1 longitudinal position)
Unnecessary starts with full load shall be avoided. With correct inclination and
belt speed the amounts of starts can be minimised.
Safety in operation
Respect all instructions given and follow general caution. Follow instructions
issued by local authorities. Perform all maintenance and repairs only when
Feeder is in transport position. Note all safety instructions in this manual like
given in instructions “Mobile Feeder” and ROX11-01-07 before any operations.
Transport position
The Feeder is in transport position when lifting cylinder (1 PC) and adjustment
cylinders (2 PCs) have strokes completely in. The Feeder is in that case on its
lowest position above the chassis (angle of ascent is about 9 °)
Operation position
When adjusting the inclination of the Feeder the target is to find out the
Feeder location where the material height on the belt is as desired. When
using Lifting (1 PC) and Adjustment cylinders (2 PCs) the target can be
achieved (max. inclination is about 24 °).
The adjustment of inclination has also influence for discharge point of material
and therefore the longitudinal direction must be adjusted to have material
unloading in the desired point at next equipment like crusher.
Lifting cylinder will carry out the final adjustment of longitudinal direction. The
adjustment range is the same as the length of horizontal parts of rails.
Capacity adjustment
When unloading the material from hopper along the belt with a proper material
height the capacity adjustment during the regular running can be made by
adjusting the speed of the belt (speed range about 0,2 - 0,5 m/s).
3/2007 1 (1)
If special operation instructions have been made for the equipment or the
whole system, also these instructions are in this file.
The start and stop of the equipment, as well as the failure alarms etc. have
been described in the operation instruction or other documents of the control
system of the equipment or plant in question.
2. Operating conditions
Generally, the material handling systems have been designed for moving and
transporting various materials. Every equipment and system has, however,
been designed only for certain materials and capacities and certain
conditions.
Use the equipment only with the material for which it has been designed, and
do not exceed the design capacity.
Use the equipment only in such weather and ambient conditions as for which
it has been designed.
The capacity data etc. of the equipment and system can be seen in the main
drawing, technical specification or acquisition documents of the equipment.

CLEANING
1. General
For the fire safety reasons, the cleaning of the equipment and their
surrounding areas is extremely important, especially if material or its dust is
flammable/explosive fuel, such as e.g. peat.
2. Cleaning intervals
It is very difficult to define any exact general cleaning intervals. The cleaning
intervals depend on the material to be handled, the dust-proof of the
equipment and the operation of the dust removal and ventilation systems.
The cleaning intervals have to be planned separately for each place on the
basis of the experience in the same kind of places. The intervals have to be
selected so that the dust in equipment and the surrounding area does not
harm the operation of the equipment. General safety must not be endangered
(N.B. fire safety).
In some very difficult places or with very dusty materials, cleaning is needed
daily.
On the other hand, in not so dusty places and with non-flammable materials a
general cleaning once a year can be enough.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
3. Safety
The cleaning of the equipment and the surrounding area has to be done when
the equipment is not operating.
By being extra carefull some cleaning work, such as floor cleaning, can be
done also when the equipment is operating. In that case the entire cleaning
personnel has to know the possible elements of danger connected with the
equipment.
The risks for using compressed air or strong water jet have to be known.
4. Cleaning methods
The cleaning method depends on the place, material to be handled and the
available cleaning systems and equipment.
Traditional sweeping with a brush and shoveling (if needed) is in most cases
a sufficient cleaning method.
If vacuum cleaner system is available, cleaning will be, of course,
considerably better and faster.
Compressed air might be in some cases good, but cleaning with only
compressed air is usually not a sufficient cleaning method, because then dust
and dirt only move from one place to an other.
Before using a washer jet it has to be made sure that it is allowed to clean the
equipment with water jet, and that the accumulation of washer waste has
been arranged in a proper way.
Water jet can never be pointed to non-hardy parts of the equipment, such as
electric appliances or bearings or to their sealings.

The belt is centered in accordance with the instruction ROX 11-02-20, par. 2.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
The belt conveyor has to be run without material during several hours,
sometimes even during several days, before the run with material can be
started.
When the conveyor is run without material, check the function of all electrical
safety devices and lockings.
Check that the sound, tightness and temperature of the reducer are normal.

observing the function of the hoppers and the centering of the belt.
If the material is not guided to the center of the belt, adjust and repair the
hopper accordingly.
Increase the quantity of the material to be fed onto the conveyor until the
normal/maximum capacity is achieved, carry out the necessary adjustments
to the feed hopper and the belt.
3/2007 1 (4)
1 Construction
The conveyor belts are rubber belts with various fabric reinforcements. Belts
are used as conveyor belts in belt conveyors and feeders.
Belts are available in several structures, different rubber qualitites, layers of
reinforcement, and in different sizes and strengths.
The conveyor belt is always chosen individually for each case to resist the
forces and conditions in questions.
The type of your conveyor belt can be seen in the main assembly drawing or
technical specification.
2 Adjustment
The adjustment of the conveyor belt means here the centering of the belt, so
that the belt runs enough in the middle of the drums and roller systems.
The misalignment of the belt can be caused by several factors, see
troubleshooting instructions for belt conveyors ROX 11-02-40, par. 4 and 5.
2.1 When the conveyor is started for the first time after the installation or after
bigger repair and modification work, the belt can slip to one side despite of
the fact that the pulleys and the rollers have been aligned well and the belt
jointing has been carried out duly. This is often caused by the interaction of
the inaccuracies in the alignment and the rigidity of the new belt and the
tensions prevailing in it.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (4)
In this case the belt has to be centered by turning the rollers as instructed
further.
The pulleys must not be turned off from the right line. The drive pulley must
never be left inclined with respect to the center line of the conveyor.
Sometimes it may be necessary to turn the tail and take-up pulleys a little,
especially in conveyors running in two directions.
2.2 The belt is always centered first with an empty belt, i.e. without material.
The centering is started from the lower belt, from the drive end towards the
other end, and from the point where the misalignment of the belt begins.
This principle applies both upper and lower rollers, but in conveyors rotating
in two directions, generally this cannot be used.
The roller system can be turned in the desired direction either from both ends
or only from one end.
To begin, turn the first roller system only by a few millimeters and wait for
some belt turns.
If the desired effect is not sufficient, turn the next roller system in the belt
running direction in the same way, and if necessary, continue by roller system
after another, along the whole length where the belt goes to the side.
If the belt cannot be centered, start the adjustment from the beginning, i.e.
from the point where the misalignment of the belt begins.
Continue in this way, until the lower belt runs in the middle.
Do not adjust too much. Check that the belt does not go too much in the
desired direction at any point of the conveyor.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 3 (4)
2.3 On the take-up and tail pulleys the belt is centered by turning the preceding
rollers according to the principle described above.
If the return rollers cannot be turned, e.g. because of the belt running in two
directions, the adjustment can be made by turning the pulley.
On the pulleys the belt moves in the direction where the tightness of the belt
slackens when turning the pulley.
2.4 If the pulleys and rollers have originally been installed and aligned carelessly
and the belt is not centered systematically, the rollers will be before long in
disorder and out of the line so that it is inpossible to achieve a good result,
and it may take days, even weeks, before the belt will remain properly
centered. That is why, the centering of the belt must be carried out with
caution and patience.
2.5 If the belt goes immediately after the start so much to the side that it is
impossible to leave it to rotate and begin to adjust in the way described
above, the rollers located before the pulleys must be adjusted temporarily so
much that the belt can be rotated.
2.6 When the belt has been centered on the lower rollers and pulleys, the upper
belt has to be centered with the same principle. The final centering of the
upper belt takes place only when the conveyor is running with material. Then
the friction between the rollers and the belt is bigger, and the new belt adopts
finally to the form of the roller trough.
2.8 If the belt goes to the side when being run with material because material is
loaded on one side of the belt, this cannot normally be corrected by turning
the rollers, but it is necessary to make the necessary adjustments and
corrections to the feed hopper so that the material is guided to the middle of
the belt.
3/2007 4 (4)
3 Maintenance
It has to be seen to that, e.g. jammed rollers or too tight board rubber pieces
do not damage the belt.
In inspections pay attention also to that the belt runs in the middle and that
the strain is correct. Read through the maintenance instructions of the belt
manufacturer and observe them.
In periodic inspections check ocularly the belt joint and the belt; tracks on the
surface or edges of the belt can indicate that the belt chafes against some
fixed part.
3/2007 1 (2)
The main parts of the screw take-up device of the belt conveyor are:
The bearing housings have been fastened to the tensioning screws. When
these are tightened, the bearing housings move along the guideways located
on the frame structures of the conveyor. So by moving the take-up pulley
backwards, the necessary initial tightness is obtained for the conveyor belt in
order to produce a sufficient friction between the drive pulley and the belt.
The structure of the screw take-up device and the types of the components
used in your conveyor can be seen in the drawings and parts lists.
2. Adjustment
In conveyors tensioned by screw, the take-up pulley is normally also the tail
pulley of the conveyor.
In order that the belt would run in the middle, it is important that the pulley is
perpendicularly to the center line of the conveyor.
When the tightness of the belt is changed, it is necessary to move both ends
of the pulley equally.
The fastening screws of the bearing housing have to be loosened for the
adjustment.
3/2007 2 (2)
The tightness of the conveyor belt has been adjusted to the right value during
the installation and commissioning, but due to the stretch of the belt it is
necessary to check the tightness regularly and the belt has to be tensioned if
necessary.
The right tightness of the belt is checked normally by the sag of the lower belt.
The sag must be 0.8 - 1.5% of the span, when the belt is not running, t.e. if
the distance between the return rollers is 3 m, the sag of the belt between
them must be 25 - 45 mm.
Do not tension the belt too much, because this could damage the belt or the
pulley and its bearings.
A too slack belt causes slipping of the drive pulley and other failures.
If the belt will be out of use during a longer period, it is advisable to slacken
the belt for this period to achieve a longer service life of the belt.
3. Maintenance
3/2007 1 (2)
CONVEYOR PULLEYS
Conveyor pulleys are available in different sizes and structures, such as drive
pulleys, take-up pulleys and tail pulleys.
Similar pulleys are used also, e.g. in belt feeders.
Drive pulleys and in difficult conditions also other pulleys may have a rubber-
coated shell. The pulleys are often cambered, i.e. the diameter in the middle
of the pulley is a little bigger than at the ends.
The bearings of the pulleys are equipped with dust seals suitable for this
purpose.
The types of the pulleys and their bearings used in your conveyor can be
seen in the drawings and parts lists.
2. Adjustment
In conveyors with screw tensioning, the take-up pulley serves normally also
as the tail pulley of the conveyor.
In order that the belt would run in the middle, it is important that the pulley is
perpendicularly to the center line of the conveyor.
When the tightness of the belt is changed, it is necessary to move both ends
of the pulley equally.
The fastening screws of the bearing housings have to be loosened for the
adjustment.
Adjustment of the belt laterally on the pulley, see instruction ROX 11-02-20
par. 2.3.
The main principle is, however, that the belt is not normally adjusted by
turning the pulleys but the pulleys have always to be perpendicularly to the
center line of the conveyor.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
3. Maintenance
Follow the separate lubrication instruction for conveyor pulleys, where the
relubrication quantities and lubrication intervals have been determined.
The lubrication quantity and lubrication interval depend on the operating
conditions, bearing size and bearing type as well as lubrication method.
When the bearing housings are lubricated, see to that the lubricant coming
out from the bearing housings is cleaned and prevent it from coming onto the
conveyor belt.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 1 (2)
BELT CLEANERS
Belt cleaners are used in conveyors usually on the "dirty" side of the belt at
the drive pulley or immediately after it so that the material coming off from the
belt falls into the discharge hopper.
Cleaners of the lower belt are used to remove the material which has possibly
collected onto the return belt. These are normally placed on the lower belt just
before the tail pulley.
Belt cleaners which are used at the discharge end of the conveyor are
available as scrapers of various types where the "knife" wiping the belt is
pressed against the belt by different spring solutions.
At some difficult points it is possible to use also motor driven belt brushes.
The cleaners of the return belt are usually ploughs and diagonal wipers which
press the lower belt by the force of their own weight.
The belt cleaning parts of the scrapers and ploughs are made of different
materials, and they are always chosen individually for each case. They are
replaceable wearing parts.
The location and type of the belt cleaners used in your conveyor can be seen
in the drawings of the conveyor, and the construction of the cleaner is
described in more detail in the product brochures or similar of the cleaner.
2. Regulation
More detailed regulating instructions for the belt cleaner are in the brochures
and instructions for the belt cleaner.
For the functioning and service life of the cleaners it is very important that the
position of the scraper knife or similar is correct with respect to the belt/
pulley.
3/2007 2 (2)
3. Maintenance
The function of the belt cleaners has to be observed daily during the normal
operation of the conveyor.
3/2007 1 (2)
The conveyor roller system consists of roller supports, or roller fixing lugs, and
rollers.
Roller supports and fixing lugs are available in different sizes and types.
Conveyor rollers are available in many different sizes and structures, such as
supporting rollers, return rollers and guide rollers.
Rollers of the same type are used also, e.g. in belt feeders.
The return rollers and, e.g. the rollers at the conveyor loading point are often
equipped with rubber discs.
In addition, various special roller systems, such as guiding roller supports, are
integrated with roller systems.
The bearings of the rollers are equipped with dust seals suitable for this
purpose.
The structure of the rollers and their seals is presented in more detail in the
product brochures and catalogues of the roller manufacturer.
The types of the rollers used in your conveyor can be seen in the drawings
and parts lists.
2. Adjustment
In order that the conveyor would function flawlessly and the belt would remain
well centered, it is important that the roller systems are symmetrically
perpendicularly to the center line of the conveyor.
3/2007 2 (2)
3. Maintenance
The conveyor rollers are normally lubricated for life, so the bearings do not
require lubrication.
If your conveyor has rollers to be lubricated, i.e. they are equipped with
nipples, read through the roller manufacturer's lubricating instruction.
Regular periodic inspections and maintenance are very important for the
service life of the rollers and belt.
- check that the roller supports are fixed properly, and that they have not bent
or moved
- clean the roller supports and rollers from material collected onto them, if it
may prevent the rollers from rotating or if the belt does not remain in the
centered position
- check that the rollers rotate easily and without noise
- check that the roller shell is undamaged, the defective and dangerously
worn rollers are to be replaced on time
- check the condition of the rubber discs of rollers equipped with discs; the
rollers whose rubber discs have moved or worn so that they are no more
round, have to be repaired or replaced
The conveyor rollers and their rotation must be observed also when the
conveyor is running. The rollers which do not rotate must be replaced as soon
as possible.
Sometimes, especially with an unloaded conveyor it may occur that there are
rollers which do not rotate owing to too light contact of the belt with the roller.
In very wearing conditions this may wear the belt and roller shell; it must be
assured that also these rollers rotate with a loaded belt.
3/2007 1 (1)
GUIDING BOARDS
The guiding boards are normally side plates of steel structure placed on the
side of the conveyor belt, e.g. at the loading point of the conveyor and after it.
They guide the material to the middle of the belt and serve as splash and dust
seals. The back board at the conveyor loading point belongs also to the
guiding boards.
The structure and type of the guiding boards used in your conveyor can be
seen in the drawings and parts lists.
2. Maintenance
The condition of the rubber seals of the guiding boards is very important for
the dust-tightness of the plant. Therefore it is necessary to observe the
condition (dust-tightness) of the rubber seals of the guiding boards also
during the operation of the equipment.
During the periodic inspections and maintenance check that the boards are
fixed properly, and that the rubber seals are duly tight.
If the seals are too loose, material and dust will leak; if they are too tight, the
belt will be damaged.
In most board rubber and seal structures it is possible to adjust the seals
closer to the belt, if they are worn. If the rubber has worn so low that it will not
touch the belt so that the fixture would be reliable, the rubber has to be
changed.
Check that the possible wearing plates of the guiding boards are in order,
renew the worn ones.
Check that the protective nets are in place and well fixed.
3/2007 1 (3)
DIFFICULT CONDITIONS ( B )
The cleaning of the devices and the surrounding areas has to be performed
so often that the material collecting onto the devices and in the surrounding
area does not hinder the functioning of the equipment or endanger the
general safety.
3/2007 2 (3)
In some objects it is also possible to lengthen the intervals, e.g. for cleaning, if
the experience has shown that it is not necessary to clean so often.

The drive unit of Mobile belt conveyors is normally hydraulic motor, gearbox
with electric motor or drum motor and included to the scope.
Speed detectors and pull cord emergency switches are normally included in
the scope, but emergency stop push buttons can be also used. Because of
the conveyor installation to the chassis at SRP workshop, particularly the pull
cord emergency system must be installed and tested at workshop before the

4 PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION
ZD DRIVE PULLEY
BP TAIL PULLEY
LA IMPACT IDLERS
1. Construction
The pull cord is located at the side of the equipment, generally between the
service passage and the equipment, along the whole length of the equipment,
at least in the zone where is a service passage or where the access near the
equipment is otherwise possible.
The cord has been suspended on special rings, and pulleys are used in
curved areas.
Several types of switches from various manufacturers are used. The type and
location of the pull cord emergency switches used in your equipment can be
seen in the parts lists and drawings.
2. Principle of operation
The purpose of the pull cord emergency switch is to stop the equipment when
one pulls at the cord.
When you pull at the cord, the lever or stem of the switch moves, and the
contact of the switch will open, whereat the control system stops the
equipment.
The emergency stop wire switch is always mechanically locked in the open
position, and this can be released only by pressing the reset pushbutton of
the switch or similar.
In most pull cord emergency stop systems, the switch functions in two
directions, and the pull cord has been tensioned by means of a spring to an
appropriate tightness, so the slackening or breaking of the cord will cause
also an emergency stop.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
02.01.95/JP/ms 2 (2)
3. Regulation
The emergency stop switches and cords have been regulated to the right
tightness when being installed and taken into use.
For some types of switches are separate regulating instructions given by the
manufacturer of the device.
4. Maintenance
The pull cord emergency stop system does not require any special
maintenance, but cleaning and regular periodic inspections are necessary.
In periodic inspections it has to be checked that the switch and its cables are
fixed properly. Check that the cord, its locks and fixtures are OK. Check that
the cord is tensioned to the right tightness, and that it can move freely.
ROTATION DETECTOR
1. Construction
2. Principle of operation
The purpose of the rotation control is also to stop the drive motor of the
device in question if the frequency is below the set value. So it is possible to
get an alarm of the stop of the device or failures in, e.g. transmission, slipping
belt and some defects in the electric and control system.
In order to start the device normally, the rotation control is by-passed during
the start. This is effected by the control system or the properties of the
detector itself.
3. Adjustment
The installation distance of the detector from the recognition pieces is 4-6
mm. The maximum reliable detecting distance is 8 mm.
The LED of the detector is on when the impulse value exceeds the set value,
and 10s. after energized (start time delay).
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
25.05.98/JP/ms 2 (2)
When the screw is turned clockwise, the impulse value increases and vice
versa.
Try to find out the screw setting which is as near the normal rotational speed
of the device as possible, i.e. the point where the LED just lights up/goes out
when the device is rotating at the normal speed. From this point the setting is
decreased by ¼ - 1½ turns. So the alarm point can be set 10 - 60% below
the normal speed of rotation. The amount of turns depends on the impulse
value in question.
The number of impulses for rotation detectors equipped with a separate relay
unit is set by means of the relay according to the manufacturer's instructions.
If impulses are counted in the logic program, also the setting takes place by
programming.
4. Maintenance
The rotation detector does not require any special maintenance, but cleaning
and regular periodic inspections are necessary.
The detector and recognition pieces have to be kept enough clean so that
material or foreign matter does not damage the detector when being between
them. The detector itself is very tight against humidity and dust.
In periodic maintenance check that the fixture of the detector, its cables and
recognition pieces are OK.
The periodic inspections and maintenance are to be performed at intervals
determined by the maintenance schedule. See instruction: Maintenance
schedule.
After checking the function, set the detector and the possible adjustments
back to the right values where they were before causing the failure in rotation.

Hydraulic oils:
Many manufacturers have several oil types for special circumstances and e.g.
lightly in the nature decomposable oil types, so called BIO-oils.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 1 (2)
CLEANING
1. General
For the fire safety reasons, the cleaning of the equipment and their
surrounding areas is extremely important, especially if material or its dust is
flammable/explosive fuel, such as e.g. peat.
2. Cleaning intervals
It is very difficult to define any exact general cleaning intervals. The cleaning
intervals depend on the material to be handled, the dust-proof of the
equipment and the operation of the dust removal and ventilation systems.
The cleaning intervals have to be planned separately for each place on the
basis of the experience in the same kind of places. The intervals have to be
selected so that the dust in equipment and the surrounding area does not
harm the operation of the equipment. General safety must not be endangered
(N.B. fire safety).
In some very difficult places or with very dusty materials, cleaning is needed
daily.
On the other hand, in not so dusty places and with non-flammable materials a
general cleaning once a year can be enough.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
3. Safety
The cleaning of the equipment and the surrounding area has to be done when
the equipment is not operating.
By being extra carefull some cleaning work, such as floor cleaning, can be
done also when the equipment is operating. In that case the entire cleaning
personnel has to know the possible elements of danger connected with the
equipment.
The risks for using compressed air or strong water jet have to be known.
4. Cleaning methods
The cleaning method depends on the place, material to be handled and the
available cleaning systems and equipment.
Traditional sweeping with a brush and shoveling (if needed) is in most cases
a sufficient cleaning method.
If vacuum cleaner system is available, cleaning will be, of course,
considerably better and faster.
Compressed air might be in some cases good, but cleaning with only
compressed air is usually not a sufficient cleaning method, because then dust
and dirt only move from one place to an other.
Before using a washer jet it has to be made sure that it is allowed to clean the
equipment with water jet, and that the accumulation of washer waste has
been arranged in a proper way.
Water jet can never be pointed to non-hardy parts of the equipment, such as
electric appliances or bearings or to their sealings.
3/2007 1 (2)
1. General
The instructions relating to the devices of some machines may contain more
detailed instructions.
E.g. gears, fluid couplings and hydraulic systems may contain oils. E.g. with
radiometric principle operating belt scales and the level indicators of material
may contain radioactive materials.
2. Dismounting
Ensure also that the electric current has been switched off from the
equipment and all cables attached to it before starting the work.
3/2007 2 (2)
3. Storing
If the equipment or its parts are stored for later use, this must be considered
when dismounting the equipment so that the equipment will not be damaged
during the dismounting work.
The parts exposed to corrosion are protected with anti-rust compound, the
lubrication points are lubricated, the belts of the V-belt drives are loosened
and the tensioning of the conveyor belt is loosened in the whole belt
conveyors.
The gears and shaft mechanisms of e.g. screens are filled with lubrication oil
quite full in order to avoid corrosion damages.
When storing the equipment and machines moisture must be avoided and the
protections and storing of electric equipment must be performed according to
their own instructions.
4. Destroying
The problem waste like oils are destroyed according to the general
regulations and instructions. (Treatment plant of problem waste)
The rubber parts like e.g. conveyor belts must be delivered to be destroyed to
the waste treatment plant.
Generally for the part of other constructions the instructions for destroying,
sorting and recycling of different materials are followed.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 1 (2)
COMMISSIONING
1. Commissioning inspections
The inspection shall be carried out by a person who knows well the
equipment to be inspected, commissioner and/or installation supervisor.
The commissioning forms are used as a check list and instructions for the
inspection, and they will be documents concerning the inspections and
regulations carried out.
2. First start
It is very important to carry out the first start of the belt conveyor with
caution and control, because there is a big risk of various damages.
Before the first start the commissioning inspections have to be carried out to
the extent that it is possible without running the motor.
Immediately after the first short start, make sure that the belt remains
sufficiently centered.
The belt is centered in accordance with the instruction ROX 11-02-20, par. 2.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
The belt conveyor has to be run without material during several hours,
sometimes even during several days, before the run with material can be
started.
When the conveyor is run without material, check the function of all electrical
safety devices and lockings.
Check that the sound, tightness and temperature of the reducer are normal.
The trial run with material is started with a small quantity of material,
observing the function of the hoppers and the centering of the belt.
If the material is not guided to the center of the belt, adjust and repair the
hopper accordingly.
Increase the quantity of the material to be fed onto the conveyor until the
normal/maximum capacity is achieved, carry out the necessary adjustments
to the feed hopper and the belt.
3/2007 1 (3)
DIFFICULT CONDITIONS ( B )
The cleaning of the devices and the surrounding areas has to be performed
so often that the material collecting onto the devices and in the surrounding
area does not hinder the functioning of the equipment or endanger the
general safety.
3/2007 2 (3)
In some objects it is also possible to lengthen the intervals, e.g. for cleaning, if
the experience has shown that it is not necessary to clean so often.

0. General
In this instruction are listed failures and problems which may occur in belt
conveyors or belt feeders (number 1 - 9).
After every title under subnumbers are listed possible failures or causes
which may cause this problem, whereafter is a brief description of measures
to be taken in this situation.
1.1 One of the protective or safety devices of the conveyor/feeder or drive motor
has been activated.
- Check and repair, reset the failure.
2.1 Electric failure (electric network, motor protecting and starting devices, cable,
motor)
- Check and repair.
3/2007 2 (5)
3. THE MOTOR RUNS, BUT THE DRIVE PULLEY DOES NOT ROTATE
The transmission slips
3.3 The pin coupling, or similar, between the motor and reducer is defective.
- Check and repair.
3.4 The joint or coupling between the reducer and drive pulley is defective.
- Check and repair.
4. THE DRIVE PULLEY ROTATES, BUT THE BELT DOES NOT MOVE
The pulley slips, the friction between the pulley and the belt is not
sufficient.
4.2 Between the belt and pulley is material, e.g. snow and ice.
- Check and clean.
- Prevent the access of material and snow between the belt and pulley,
improve the cleaning and cleanliness of the equipment.
- Improve the function and maintenance of the belt cleaners.
- Use anti-freeze agents.
4.4 The conveyor belt has jammed somewhere, e.g. material or foreign matter
has jammed between the belt and board. The tail pulley or rollers have
jammed.
- Check, clean and repair.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 3 (5)
5. BELT RUNS ON ONE SIDE ALWAYS AT THE SAME POINT OF THE BELT
5.2 The belt has a curve, this can occur normally only with new belts.
- Check, see instruction: Conveyor belt Rox 11-02-20 par. 2.8.
- Check the storing and transport of the belt.
- Change the belt if necessary.
6.1 The pulleys are not horizontal or they are not in the middle and perpendicular
to the center line of the conveyor.
- Check and correct, see instruction: Conveyor belt Rox11-02-20 par.2.
6.2 The roller systems and rollers are not in the middle and perpendicular to the
center line of the conveyor.
- Check and correct, see instruction: Conveyor belt Rox 11-02-20 p2.
6.3 The material is not loaded to the middle of the belt. If the material is on one
side of the belt, the belt tends to move towards the emptier side on the trough
rollers. If the material moves strongly laterally at the feed point, also this tends
to move the belt to one side.
- Check, adjust or correct the feeding hopper.
6.4 Trough roller systems have been mounted in the wrong way.
- Check if the supporting rollers of the conveyor have "ploughing" roller
supports; these must be mounted so that the outermost rollers have been
turned a little towards the belt running direction.
6.6 The belt chafes against some fixed part or jammed rollers.
- Check and repair.
- Improve the cleaning and maintenance.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 4 (5)
6.9 Material or snow and ice collect onto the inner surface of the belt, pulleys or
rollers.
- Check and clean.
- Prevent the access of material and snow onto the lower belt, improve the
cleaning and cleanliness of the equipment.
- Improve the functioning and maintenance of the belt cleaners.
- Use anti-freeze agents.
7.1 The belt chafes against the conveyor/feeder frame or some other fixed part,
e.g. jammed rollers, guiding boards or material jammed between them.
7.3 The material tends to jam in hoppers and it is compressed at times between
the belt and hopper structures.
- Check and repair the hoppers enough wide.
- Check that the capacity is not too high.
- Check that the piece size of the material is not too big.
3/2007 5 (5)
9.1 The belt joint has been made in the wrong way.
- Make a new joint according to the instructions.
This maintenance instruction is valid, when the Roxon pulley is in a normal use in the belt or elevator
conveyor and in a normal conveyor conditions. In special cases, please contact Roxon.
Pulleys shall be installed crossright with centre line of conveyor (can be turned while centralizing the belt,
see maintenance instruction for conveyor belts).Pulleys must be fastened firmly and safely. In case
strengths going in bearing housing’s base direction turn up, securing plates or other firmness must be used
in order to counteract moving of bearing housing.
- Mantle surface is clean and solid. Unclean pulley must be cleaned and broken places of mantle
repaired. Strongly worn rubbercoating is a sign of slack belt, which must now been tightened.
- Both welding and screw couplings are solid and tight. Brokenwelding couplings are generally
caused by overloaded conveyor or a too much tightened belt.
- Bearings will not warm up and they are noiseless. Warmed and loud bearings as well as leaky
sealings must be replaced by new ones.
Pulleys must not be loaded more that permitted values provide either by ecsess capacity or a too
much tightened belt, because that will result in shorter lasting time of bearings or breaking of pulley.
In after-lubrication of pulley bearings must be chosen lubrication type suitable for respective operation
and after-lubrication way. (hand lubrication table 4 and continuos lubrication table 5).
Lubrication of pulley must always be done while pulley is revolving, except BR-pulleys, type A. Therefore pul-
leys must be protected so and lubrication points piped so that the lubrication can be made safely.
When handling industrial oils and lubricants long-term and repeated contact with skin must be
avoided, wear protective clothing and appropriate tools.
Normally the used lubricant is classified as problem waste, take care of appropriate handling, storing
and destroying of the lubricants removed from service.
After-lubrication made while pulley is revolving guarantee that lubricant divide steadily in bearing and
sealing. Also the sealing pressure do not turn into excessiveness.

- GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The following tables list the recommended quantities of tools and equipment for a team of
vulcanizers.
The code number indicates that the item concerned may be obtained from S.F.B.T.
- Tensioning Equipment
- CLEANLINESS OF WORK
Cleanliness in the execution of splices very largely governs the success of this work.
'Cleanliness' must be understood as protection:
- of belting
- of raw materials
- of tools
against all types of dirt or pollution, i.e. against contact with any solid, liquid or gaseous substance
which may attack either the rubber or the carcass and thus create the risk of insufficient bond
between the various constituents of the splice upon vulcanization.
The only materials which may be brought into direct contact with the rubber or carcass, without risk,
are as follows:
The entire working area covering the conveyor and the belt over a length of 3 m on either side of the
splice area must be protected against:
- Dust
Throughout the time work is in progress, no cleaning, welding or any other work should be carried
out near or above the splice area.
Care must be taken to avoid trailing on the ground the ends of the belt on which work is being
carried out.
During the splicing operation, operatives must ensure that their hands are clean.
A brush and container should be kept solely for use with solvent. Empty cement cans or
containers must not be used.
SOCIETE FRANCAISE DE
BANDES TRANSPORTEUSES GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
October 2003
Whatever the splicing method recommended, certain general rules are applicable to the different
operations involved in the preparation of the belt ends.
- Marking out
• Mark out the longitudinal axis of the belt on both ends and over a minimum distance of 1.5 m,
LIGNING UP 3 POINTS on each end.
• Square-off the two belt ends and adjust them for length. Squaring-off is done from reference
points marked perpendicular to the axis and traced.
b) Or using a set-square, marking sure to turn it over (see Sheet 1.I -Figure 2), and taking the
axis of the belt as reference.
• All lines marked out subsequently, for cutting out and stripping the covers, will be based on these
references.
- Stripping
• For cover thickness not exceeding 8 mm, cut out cover at 90° to belt surface. (To make clean cut,
abut against a ruler).
• For cover thickness exceeding 8 mm, cover must be cut in steps (see relevant stripping procedures).
• Begin stripping by cutting out of the cover a strip 25 to 30 mm wide across the width of the belt, using
a pen knife (curved blade) or hand knife (short blade), and pliers for stripping. Tear off strips as shown
in Figure 1, sheet 1.II.
- Brushing
• Carefully brush by hand cut cover edges using a wire brush.
• Complete by scraping cut edges with the hand knife (short blade).
• Carefully brush the covers, with rotary brush, over a distance of 15 mm from the cut edges.
• Always brush exposed carcass with wire brush to remove dust, taking care not to damage carcass
fabric.

NOTE: For cement always use a NEW BRUSH and DISCARD AFTER USE.
• Exposed, stripped areas require two coats of cement after brushing and cleaning with solvent. Apply
cement carefully and evenly, especially in the interstices, steps cut in covers, etc.
• Before applying cement, ensure that the surface is not 'tacky' but perfectly dry from the previous
application of solvent or cement.
• Non-vulcanized raw materials require cleaning or reactivating with solvent, but only ONE coat of cement.
NOTE: Cement should be applied immediately before positioning of raw materials. It is essential that cement
should dry in the shade.
- Excess cement will prevent complete drying and thus impair proper splice strength.
- Where special instructions are applicable, these are indicated in the relevant splicing procedures.
General
Belt conveyors have not been tested at workshop but certain adjustments are carried out
based on tests done earlier. Anyway The tests were carried out without material. The
material weight and location on the belt may change the situation and therefore some
adjustments can be actual due to misalignment of the belt.
The position of Mobil unit has also influence for the belt misalignment. Operation in position
where pulleys are in ”hand level” is optimal for belt conveyor.
1. Belt take-up
The length of belt can be adjusted by using screw take-up locating at drive end of

METAL DETECTOR System 3000
Technical Manual MDV - MDS
1. General Notes
This instruction manual refers to following model of the Metal Detector System 3000
Optional
Supply isolation unit Typ NTG 251/255
Extensions cable Type K 031...
The metal detector System 3000 is designed to detect medium size and larger pieces of metal and
to protect jaw crushers, stone mills and to monitor conveyor belts. The metal detector is insensitive
to small parts as nails, nuts etc. It will respond only to larger pieces of metal like teeth from an
excavator bucket, tools, or metal panelling which could destroy plants when being processed. If the
detection of smaller parts is necessary, the Amplifier type MU 3300 is recommended.
This manual contains instructions how the metal detector should be installed. In order to have the
unit work properly it is important to notice how it is to be handled and how it is operating inside the
plant.
Note
If problems should occur which cannot be solved with help of this instruction manual, please
contact your distributor or our technical support in Getttorf, phone +49 (0)4346/41580 or fax
+49 (0)4346-5658.
2. Installation
2.1 Amplifier MDV 3172
The amplifier MDV 3172 can be installed in the vicinity of the detector coil because it has a fixed
cable with a plug connector. The amplifier has a 2m long supply cable which can be connected to
a connection box (Fig. 1).
EGE-Elektronik Spezial-Sensoren GmbH • Tel. +49 (0)4346/41580 • Fax +49 (0)4346/5658 • www.ege-elektronik.com BE81004 3

The amplifier MDV 3172 will operate a relay (relay contact closed) when metal is detected, but no
further analysis functions are included. The number of control units is reduced to a minimum in
order to make the unit resistant in extreme environmental conditions as moisture, dust, changing
temperatures and vibrations.
2.1.2 Installation of MDV 3172 with distance larger than 3m to the coil
By using an extensions cable it is possible to install the amplifier in larger distances as 3,00 m
from the detector coil. The extensions cable has a connector on both sides of the cable. An
extension up to 30 m is admissible. Such cables can be made with the connection plug K031-D/S
and a special shielded PUR cable K032. In many cases the ready made cable KS031-DS05 with
a length of 5m is a good solution. (Fig. 2)

2.2 Detector coil MDS ...: Mounting underneath the conveyor belt
The detector coil is preferably mounted between two rollers underneath the conveyor belt. This is
reducing the risk of mechanical damage of the coil. The distance between the rollers and the coil
must be at least as long as the width of the coil. In order to reach the maximal sensitivity, a metal
free zone with a diameter of 1.5 - 2 times the coil's width should be chosen around the center of
the coil (fig. 3). This mounting is the most common used method and should be preferred to other
installations.

30-50mm
Security rod (wood)
Warning
In order to reduce the risk that a hanging or swinging belt is hitting the detector coil, the
installation of a wooden security rod is recommended which will absorb the hits.
When the detector coil is mounted above the conveyor belt, it must be made sure that the iron
construction of the plant is not too close to the detector coil. In such cases the sensitivity has to
be reduced. This means that the detection range is reduced and only larger metal pieces can be
detected.
Because two detector coils, which are each connected to an amplifier MDV, interfere with each
other, the minimum distance between the coils must be 2m.
Warning
Precautions have to be taken that stacked material on the conveyor belt will not bump against
the detectors coil resulting in damages. (fig 4)

METAL DETECTOR System 3000
Technical Manual MDV - MDS
The detector coil is mounted with distance pieces on a aluminium plate, which shields
electromagnetic interference from beneath and ensures a robust installation of the coil. The metal
plate has double sided 10mm bores. At places with strong electromagnetic interference, it is
recommended to shield the sides of the metal detector with aluminum plates or other means.
Warning
The detector coil must not be mounted hanging from tethers or by other instable means.
It must be mounted in a fixed position free of vibration.
Note
The mounting above the conveyor belt is used seldom and is recommended only for special
cases, where other mounting options are not available.
Conveyor belts with widths of 1000 mm up to 1200 mm are monitored with coils which have
a width of 950 mm.
The supply isolation unit NTG 251/255 is connected between the amplifier MDV and the power
supply, especially when AC-overvoltage is to be expected. The unit NTG 251/255 also has a built
in EMC filter and dampens interfering impulse coming from the network. It must be observed that
the load of the output relay does not exceed 4 A 250 V AC(Fig. 5). The NTG... limits the voltage
and current amplitudes for the amplifier MDV 3172, so that its fuse cannot be overloaded.

3. Function
The metal detector transforms the electromagnetic influences on the detector coil into a electrical
impulse. The detector coil acts as oscillator and creates an electromagnetic alternating field. As
soon as metal parts pass by this electromagnetic field the amplitude of the oscillator is affected.
The sensitivity of the oscillator is adjusted by means of a potentiometer. The level of sensitivity,
that can be set, is dependant of various factors: the environment of the coil as vicinity of metal
construction parts, its electromagnetical properties and the conveyor belt speed. (Fig. 6)
Note
In applications where increased AC-power line interference is to be expected, the MDV-fuse might
blow. Then the MDV will not be able to operate its output-relay. Because of this behaviour, the
usage of the overvoltage protection NTG 251/255 is recommended.

Edge length / mm
The sensitivity plot shows the distance where a object with a given edge length can be detected.
This plot is based on a measurement with the detector coil MDS 3065 and the amplifier MDV...in a
metal free environment. For edges shorter than 50mm a steel cube was used. For larger objects, a
2mm thick steel plate (ST 37) was used. During the measurement the objects passed above the
detection coil´s center with a speed of 0,5/sec.
Metals differ in electromagnetic properties, leading to different sensing ranges. For example,
Aluminium has a smaller detection range than a part of iron (ST 37) of the same dimensions. The
factor by which the sensitivity is reduced compared to iron is given in table 1 (correction factors) for
different metals.

Under the same conditions, an aluminium cube will only be detected in a distance of 52 mm
(130 x 0,4 = 52 mm).
4. Adjusting
4.1 Checking the amplifier
After mounting the metal detector and establishment of the electrical connections to the
power supply and the detector coil, the detector must be adjusted.
1. Make sure the green LED for power supply is lit. (Fig. 7, Pos. A)
2. After having switched on the power supply the amplifier is performing a self test which takes
about 3-10 seconds.
During the self test the amplifier sets the output to "metal detected" in order to test its own
output. If a self holding relay is connected to this output, it must be reset in order to
activate the metal detector.
The highest sensitivity is reached when the potentiometer is turned clockwise 20 times.
The default sensitivity is set by turning the potentiometer 20 turns clockwise followed by
10 turns counter-clockwise.
With this setting, a medium sensitivity is archieved. Turning the potentiometer clockwise
increases sensitivity, turning it counter-clockwise decreases sensitivity.

METAL DETECTOR System 3000
Technical Manual MDV - MDS
Note
The potentiometer has no mechanical stop. The electrical end position is reached after 20 turns.
Further turning in the same direction will not change the sensitivity.
If the yellow LED for "metal detected" is blinking during the running of the conveyor belt, the
sensitivity is set too high or the detector coil is not connected properly.

5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Checking the amplifier
1. Check if the green LED for power supply is lit
2. Check if the fuse is installed and functional (Fig. 7, Pos. D)
3. Check power supply: Are there voltage dropouts >0.5 seconds ?

1. Remove coil plug and measure net resistance (detector coil + cable) according to section 5.2.
Note
For building your own extension cable, it is important to connect pin 4 and pin 7 internally
inside the connector housing, at the end that is connected to the amplifier MDV. The
connection is important for the correct function for the shielding system between detector
coil and amplifier (fig 9).

2. With a resistance measurement you can check the extensions-cable that connects the
amplifier with the detector coil. This is done by measuring the resistance between
the corresponding line ends or plug pins of the same color and number, respectively.

A simple test-installation with hold-function is shown here. This installation usally is done when installing
the metal-detector. It is not part of delivery.
When metal is detected, a self-test at startup was successful, or a manual test is performed, the red lamp
is lit and the output "Signal" is connected to L1 permanently. This activation holds on until the "RESET"
button is pushed.
The manual test is performed by pushing the test button for more than 2 seconds. The test is successful if
the red lamp is lit after approx. 2 seconds after releasing the button.
If there is no activation of the red lamp after start-up or after performing the manual test, the MDV or the
NTG is defective and should be serviced.
The green lamp lights up when no metal is presently detected and no self-test is performed.

1. Allmänt
Standard
Tillval
Metalldetektorsystemet är konstruerat för att detektera metalliska föremål och för att användas
som skydd vid grovkrossar, siktar och flistuggar. Den reagerar ej för mindre föremål såsom spik,
muttrar etc, men väl för skoptänder,skiftnycklar och annat som kan skada anläggningen.
Vid behov av att detektera mindre föremål vid t.ex. finkrossar rekommenderas att använda
förstärkare typ MU 3300.
Denna manual innehåller instruktioner om hur metalldetektorn skall installeras. För att få enheten
att fungera på ett riktigt sätt, är det viktigt att veta hur den skall hanteras och hur anläggningen
drivs.
Notera
Om det skulle dyka upp problem som inte kan lösas med hjälp av denna manual, var vänlig
kontakta din leverantör eller vår tekniska support i S-512 23 Svenljunga, Box 137, telefon
0325/120 60 eller fax 0325/120 64.
2. Installation
2.1 Förstärkare MDV 3172
Förstärkare MDV 3172 bör placeras i nära anslutning till detektorspolen, då denna har en
färdigingjuten kabel på 3 m med kontaktdon. Förstärkaren har även den en färdigingjuten kabel på
2 m och skarvas lämpligen i dosa, se fig.1.

Förstärkaren MDV 3172 bryter ett relä (relä kontakt stängs) när metall detekteras. Inga vidare
analysfunktioner finns. MDV 3172 är konstruerad för att klara av att appliceras i extremt svåra
miljöer där väta, smuts, temperaturförändringar och vibrationer ofta är förekommande.
Det är möjligt att placera förstärkaren mer än 3 m från detektorspolen. Man använder då en färdig
förlängningskabel med 2 st kontaktdon typ KS031-DS05. Längder upp till 30 m är tillåtet. Här
krävs då separata kontaktdon typ K031-S05 och kabel av typ PUR skärmad 4x0,75. I många fall
är den färdiga kabeln KS031-DS05 med en längd av 5 m en bra lösning, se fig 2.

Detektorspolen monteras bäst mellan rullarna under transportbandet, där minskar risken för att
spolen utsätts för mekanisk åverkan. Avståndet mellan spole och rullar bör vara minst spolens
bredd, men för att utnyttja detektorns känslighet till fullo krävs att det från spolens centrum är en
metallfri zon som är ca. 1,5-2 x spolens bredd, se fig.3 Denna typ av montering är den mest

Säkerhetskloss (trä)
Obs !
Vid risk för svaj / svikt i bandet rekommenderas en säkerhetskloss som tar upp stötarna.
När detektor spolen är monterad ovanför transportbandet, måste det vara helt säkert att
anläggningens stålkontruktion inte är för nära detektor spolen. I sådana fall måste spolens
känslighet reduceras. Detta medför att detektionskänslighet reduceras och enbart större
metallbitar kan detekteras.
Eftersom två detektor spolar, som var för sig är kopplade till en förstärkare MDV, stör varandra,
måste avståndet vara minimum 2 m.
Obs !
Försiktighetsåtgärder måste vidtas mot att högt staplat material på transportbandet inte stöter
emot detektorspolen och ger skador, se fig.4
Figur 4

Instruktioner MDV - MDS
Detektor spolen är monterad med distanser på en aluminium platta, som skyddar från
elektromagnetiska störningar underifrån och säkrar en robust installation av spolen. Metalplattan
har 10 mm borrhål på bägge sidorna. På platser med starka elektromagnetiska störningar,
rekomenderas att man skyddar metaldetektorns sidor med t ex aluminiumplattor.
Obs !
Detektorspolen får ej monteras hängande i kätting eller annat instabilt hjälpmedel. Den måste
monteras på en fast plats som är fri från vibrationer.
Notera
Montering ovanför transportband används sällan, och rekommenderas enbart i specialfall när
andra monteringsmöjligheter ej är möjliga.
Detektorspole med 650 mm bredd rekommenderas till bandtransportörer på upp till 800 mm
bredd.
NTG 251 ansluts mellan förstärkare och manöverspänning vid applikationer där särskild risk för
överspänningar förekommer. NTG 251 fungerar också som EMC-filter och dämpar eventuella
störningspulser från nätet. Observera att utgångsreläet kan belastas med max. 4 A, 250 V AC, se
fig. 5. NTG... begränsar spänning- och strömamplituden till förstärkare MDV 3172, så att inte dess
säkring kan brinna.

Notera
Vid applikationer där man kan förväntas få förhöjd interferens vid AC-matning,kan säkringen lösa
ut på MDV:n. Då driver inte MDV längre sitt utgångsrelä. På grund av detta beteende,
rekommenderas användning av överspänningsskydd NTG 251/255

Kantbredd på objekt / mm
Känslighetsdiagrammet visar hur långt avstånd det kan vara mellan objekt av olika storlekar och
detektorspolen. Diagrammets utfall är baserat på mätningar där detektorspolens (MDS 3065)
omgivning varit fri från metall. Vid mätningar där objektets kantbredd har understigit 50 mm har en
stålkub använts, för bredare objekt en 2 mm tjock metallplatta (ST 37 / ASTM A36). Objektet har
vid mätningen passerat detektorspolens centrum med en hastighet på 0,5 m/s.
Metall skiljer sig i elektromagnetiska egenskaper, vilket leder till olika detektionsavstånd.
Aluminium t ex har ett mindre detektionsavstånd än en bit järn (ST 37 / ASTM A36) i samma
storlek. Känsligheten i förhållande till reduceringsfaktorn jämförd med järn visas i tabell 1
(korrigeringsfaktorer) för olika metaller.

4. Injustering
4.1 Kontroll
Efter det att metalldetektorsystemet är rätt monterat och inkopplat kan systemet justeras in:
2. När manöverspänningen ansluts behöver förstärkaren ca 3-10 sekunder för att kontrollera om
några störningar eller fel finns i systemet.
Under självtesten ställer förstärkaren utgången på "metall detekterad" för att kontrollera sig själv.
Om ett självutlösande relä är kopplat till denna utgång, måste det nollställas för att aktivera
metalldetektorn.
Lägst känslighet fås genom att först vrida potentiometern 20 varv medsols, därefter 10 varv
motsols.
www.specialsensorer.se BS81004 8
METALLDETEKTOR System 3000
Instruktioner MDV - MDS
Notera
Potentiometern har inget mekaniskt stop. Den elektriska slutpositionen nås efter 20 vridningar.
Fler vridningar åt samma håll ändrar inte känsligheten.
Om den gula LED för "metall detekterad" blinkar under körningar av transportbandet, är antingen
känsligheten för högt ställd eller så är detektorspolen inte korrekt inkopplad.

- The safety and security devices must not be removed, they must always be
in place and in working order when the equipment is operated.
- The covers and doors of the electrical equipment and boxes have to be
closed.
6. GUARANTEE
- The guarantee conditions and period of the equipment and systems are
determined in the supply contract or other documents.
3/2007 1 (4)
1. DANGEROUS PLACES
- pulleys and sprockets, especially gaps between the pulley and the belt / the
sprockets and chains
- on belt conveyors rollers, gaps between rollers and the belt, especially in
places with boards
- on chain conveyors chains and sprockets
- hatches when open
- drive mechanism, rotating and moving parts
- counterweight take-up devices, moving take-up carriage
- generally, a running or starting belt is dangerous
- falling and rolling material
- electrical accidents, e.g. during repair work
- falling or slipping of persons
- hazardous dust and noise
- fire and explosion hazard caused by the material to be handled
2. DANGEROUS SITUATIONS
- the equipment is started when there are persons near to the dangerous
places of the conveyor system
- accidental starts, remote and automatic starts
- maintenance, repair and cleaning near to a running or starting machine
- accidental start has not been prevented (the safety switch has not been
used, no warning sign or lock)
- clearing of a jam on a equipment or hopper
- safety or security device is missing or it does not function
- material on the passage or walkway, uncleanliness
- first start and trial runs in the installation phase
3/2007 2 (4)
- Never try to clean shafts, sprockets, chains, pulleys, rollers or belt cleaners
when the conveyor is running.
- E.g. in case of jam the conveyor belt or chain can be still under tension
which can rotate the belt/chain and pulleys/shafts when being discharged
despite the safety switch. That is why make always sure before clearing a
jam that the chain, belt or the counterweight will not cause a hazard when
the possible tension will be discharged. The tension can be eliminated from
the belt, e.g. by detaching the back-rotation preventing brake.
- When maintaining ascending chain conveyors take into account that chains
must be locked to prevent the crash of chains. The locking of the chains
must be done for example when shorten or repairing chains and always if
someone goes inside the chain conveyor.
- When the feed hopper is entered, it is also necessary to prevent the running
of the feeding device by means of a safety switch.
- When the mobile conveyor are serviced, it is necessary to prevent also the
operation of the transfer mechanism by means of a safety switch.
- The covers and doors of electrical equipment and boxes have to be kept
closed. The electrical installation and repair work may be performed only by
an authorized firm.
- Risk of rolling or falling material may occur with some materials and
equipment in special situations. In this case it is forbidden to stay under the
machine; wear a protecting helmet and goggles.
3/2007 3 (4)
- Hazard of being caught by moving and rotating parts of the machine if you
do wear unproper clothing near them, e.g. hanging pieces of cloth; wear
appropriate protective clothing.
- start pre-warning:
a device giving an acoustic alarm and/or light signal which warns of the start
of the conveyor system/equipment
- safety switch:
by turning the safety switch to the position "0" the start of the drive motor of
the machine can be prevented reliably, e.g. for the maintenance.
The safety switch can be locked in the position "0" by a padlock.
3/2007 4 (4)
The material to be transported and its dust may require that the fire or
explosion hazard is taken into account. In this case the fire protection
regulations and instructions given for the plant are to be observed.
The fire alarm and extinction devices must always be at the disposal and in
working order when the conveyor is operated.
The conveyor belts may be different as to the fire resistance and burning
properties. This must be taken into account when making the plans for fire
protection.
5. MATERIAL DUST
The dust leaking out from the conveyor equipment, mainly near the hoppers,
can cause a hazard because the visibility will be worse. Depending on the
material to be handled, the dust can be hazardous for health when inhaled
continuously.
The dust extraction devices must always be switched on and in working order
when the conveyor system is running.
6. NOISE
The noise level in hoppers and chutes integrated with equipment may be high
because of the material flow, depending on the material.
In some machine the noise level may be high near the drive machinery.
If the noise level at some points exceeds the allowable limits, these points
must be equipped with a warning sign, and it is necessary to wear ear
protectors.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
29.6.05/JPa 1 (1)
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION
DUST
Rock and stone crushing creates dust, which stays at the material handling site and its
surroundings, even when not handling the material. When conveying material by conveyors
dust is created often at loading and unloading points.
Dust may be so fine that it cannot be seen. It is hazardous to inhale the dust.
Breathing dust will cause death or severe injury. Always wear approved respirator.
See enclosed appendix “Danger”.
• Always use an approved respirator when outdoor (outside the cabin). Make sure that
the respirator is in good condition.
• Always keep the cabin door closed.
• Keep the cabin clean. Clean the cabin with a vacuum cleaner daily
• Change the cabin air filter regularly with original spare part.
Make sure that dust suppression system at your site is working properly. Keep the dusting
at minimum level at site.

COMMISSIONING
1. Commissioning inspections
The inspection shall be carried out by a person who knows well the
equipment to be inspected, commissioner and/or installation supervisor.
The commissioning forms are used as a check list and instructions for the
inspection, and they will be documents concerning the inspections and
regulations carried out.
2. First start
It is very important to carry out the first start of the belt conveyor with
caution and control, because there is a big risk of various damages.
Before the first start the commissioning inspections have to be carried out to
the extent that it is possible without running the motor.
Immediately after the first short start, make sure that the belt remains
sufficiently centered.
The belt is centered in accordance with the instruction ROX 11-02-20, par. 2.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
The belt conveyor has to be run without material during several hours,
sometimes even during several days, before the run with material can be
started.
When the conveyor is run without material, check the function of all electrical
safety devices and lockings.
Check that the sound, tightness and temperature of the reducer are normal.
The trial run with material is started with a small quantity of material,
observing the function of the hoppers and the centering of the belt.
If the material is not guided to the center of the belt, adjust and repair the
hopper accordingly.
Increase the quantity of the material to be fed onto the conveyor until the
normal/maximum capacity is achieved, carry out the necessary adjustments
to the feed hopper and the belt.
21.10.05/JPa 1 (3)
The belt conveyor equipment has been designed for transporting and moving
gravel, crushed rock and stone materials. The material is moved by means of
a conveyor belt, which has been mounted, on rollers and pulleys.
Belt conveyor equipment is installed onto chassis of Mobil unit. Belt conveyor
equipment can be equipped with turning joints, which makes adjustment of
height possible for loading and unloading sections. Adjustment is often
carried out by hydraulic cylinders but also by using separate lifting device in
certain belt conveyor equipment. Adjustments are needed normally to put belt
conveyor equipment in transport or to operation position. Also jam at loading
area and some maintenance works can be carried out easier when having
loading section on lowest position.
The belt conveyor equipment are always tailor-made but made in series
production. The structural solutions have been made by using standard
components and standardised construction models when possible. The
construction and components of your belt conveyor equipment can be seen in
the drawings and parts lists of the equipment.
21.10.05/JPa 2 (3)
2. Safety
Respect all instructions given and general caution. Follow instructions issued
by local authorities. Perform all maintenance and repairs only when conveyor
is not running. Note all safety instructions in this manual like ROX11-01-07
before any operations. Special dangerous points and situations are among
other things following:
• Breathing dust will cause death or severe injury. Always wear approved
respirator
• When lifting or lowering belt conveyor equipment there are gaps between
the chassis of mobile and belt conveyor equipment. Note also the risk
zone area between the moving belt conveyor equipment and another
construction (like wheel loader). Keep safety distance and prevent
personnel enter to risk zone
• To prevent entanglement at a rotating part or moving part; ensure that the
gap guards are always installed when operating
• Falling/rolling material from the belt or hopper. Keep safety distance and
prevent personnel enter to risk zone
• Unexpected starts; ensure the warning device function and use a safety
switch
• Noise from material handling and operation; use personal protective
devices
• Disuse of personal protective devices; train personal for proper use of
approved devices
• Back rotation of belt particularly when belt is loaded with material; prevent
the drive pulley rotation and belt movement
• Loss of stability of Mobile unit and/or belt conveyor equipment: Ensure the
stability of foundation where unit is standing, use anchoring and other
adequate means
• The proper use of belt conveyor equipment will increase the lifetime of
belt conveyor equipment as well as the safety of operation. Ensure that
the material, capacity and material particle size are according to the
values given in Contract.
21.10.05/JPa 3 (3)
3. Maintenance
For safety reasons service and cleaning works can be carried out only when
the belt conveyor equipment is not running.
In cases where periodic inspections and maintenance are not defined follow
instruction: Maintenance schedule (B).
Records
All actions related to the scheduled maintenance, repairs, part replacing and
damages must be recorded in the Maintenance Log. When demanding
guarantee also Maintenance log must be presented.

CLEANING
1. General
For the fire safety reasons, the cleaning of the equipment and their
surrounding areas is extremely important, especially if material or its dust is
flammable/explosive fuel, such as e.g. peat.
2. Cleaning intervals
It is very difficult to define any exact general cleaning intervals. The cleaning
intervals depend on the material to be handled, the dust-proof of the
equipment and the operation of the dust removal and ventilation systems.
The cleaning intervals have to be planned separately for each place on the
basis of the experience in the same kind of places. The intervals have to be
selected so that the dust in equipment and the surrounding area does not
harm the operation of the equipment. General safety must not be endangered
(N.B. fire safety).
In some very difficult places or with very dusty materials, cleaning is needed
daily.
On the other hand, in not so dusty places and with non-flammable materials a
general cleaning once a year can be enough.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
3. Safety
The cleaning of the equipment and the surrounding area has to be done when
the equipment is not operating.
By being extra carefull some cleaning work, such as floor cleaning, can be
done also when the equipment is operating. In that case the entire cleaning
personnel has to know the possible elements of danger connected with the
equipment.
The risks for using compressed air or strong water jet have to be known.
4. Cleaning methods
The cleaning method depends on the place, material to be handled and the
available cleaning systems and equipment.
Traditional sweeping with a brush and shoveling (if needed) is in most cases
a sufficient cleaning method.
If vacuum cleaner system is available, cleaning will be, of course,
considerably better and faster.
Compressed air might be in some cases good, but cleaning with only
compressed air is usually not a sufficient cleaning method, because then dust
and dirt only move from one place to an other.
Before using a washer jet it has to be made sure that it is allowed to clean the
equipment with water jet, and that the accumulation of washer waste has
been arranged in a proper way.
Water jet can never be pointed to non-hardy parts of the equipment, such as
electric appliances or bearings or to their sealings.
3/2007 1 (2)
COMMISSIONING
1. Commissioning inspections
The inspection shall be carried out by a person who knows well the
equipment to be inspected, commissioner and/or installation supervisor.
The commissioning forms are used as a check list and instructions for the
inspection, and they will be documents concerning the inspections and
regulations carried out.
2. First start
It is very important to carry out the first start of the belt conveyor with
caution and control, because there is a big risk of various damages.
Before the first start the commissioning inspections have to be carried out to
the extent that it is possible without running the motor.
Immediately after the first short start, make sure that the belt remains
sufficiently centered.
The belt is centered in accordance with the instruction ROX 11-02-20, par. 2.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
The belt conveyor has to be run without material during several hours,
sometimes even during several days, before the run with material can be
started.
When the conveyor is run without material, check the function of all electrical
safety devices and lockings.
Check that the sound, tightness and temperature of the reducer are normal.
The trial run with material is started with a small quantity of material,
observing the function of the hoppers and the centering of the belt.
If the material is not guided to the center of the belt, adjust and repair the
hopper accordingly.
Increase the quantity of the material to be fed onto the conveyor until the
normal/maximum capacity is achieved, carry out the necessary adjustments
to the feed hopper and the belt.
3/2007 1 (4)
1 Construction
The conveyor belts are rubber belts with various fabric reinforcements. Belts
are used as conveyor belts in belt conveyors and feeders.
Belts are available in several structures, different rubber qualitites, layers of
reinforcement, and in different sizes and strengths.
The conveyor belt is always chosen individually for each case to resist the
forces and conditions in questions.
The type of your conveyor belt can be seen in the main assembly drawing or
technical specification.
2 Adjustment
The adjustment of the conveyor belt means here the centering of the belt, so
that the belt runs enough in the middle of the drums and roller systems.
The misalignment of the belt can be caused by several factors, see
troubleshooting instructions for belt conveyors ROX 11-02-40, par. 4 and 5.
2.1 When the conveyor is started for the first time after the installation or after
bigger repair and modification work, the belt can slip to one side despite of
the fact that the pulleys and the rollers have been aligned well and the belt
jointing has been carried out duly. This is often caused by the interaction of
the inaccuracies in the alignment and the rigidity of the new belt and the
tensions prevailing in it.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (4)
In this case the belt has to be centered by turning the rollers as instructed
further.
The pulleys must not be turned off from the right line. The drive pulley must
never be left inclined with respect to the center line of the conveyor.
Sometimes it may be necessary to turn the tail and take-up pulleys a little,
especially in conveyors running in two directions.
2.2 The belt is always centered first with an empty belt, i.e. without material.
The centering is started from the lower belt, from the drive end towards the
other end, and from the point where the misalignment of the belt begins.
This principle applies both upper and lower rollers, but in conveyors rotating
in two directions, generally this cannot be used.
The roller system can be turned in the desired direction either from both ends
or only from one end.
To begin, turn the first roller system only by a few millimeters and wait for
some belt turns.
If the desired effect is not sufficient, turn the next roller system in the belt
running direction in the same way, and if necessary, continue by roller system
after another, along the whole length where the belt goes to the side.
If the belt cannot be centered, start the adjustment from the beginning, i.e.
from the point where the misalignment of the belt begins.
Continue in this way, until the lower belt runs in the middle.
Do not adjust too much. Check that the belt does not go too much in the
desired direction at any point of the conveyor.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 3 (4)
2.3 On the take-up and tail pulleys the belt is centered by turning the preceding
rollers according to the principle described above.
If the return rollers cannot be turned, e.g. because of the belt running in two
directions, the adjustment can be made by turning the pulley.
On the pulleys the belt moves in the direction where the tightness of the belt
slackens when turning the pulley.
2.4 If the pulleys and rollers have originally been installed and aligned carelessly
and the belt is not centered systematically, the rollers will be before long in
disorder and out of the line so that it is inpossible to achieve a good result,
and it may take days, even weeks, before the belt will remain properly
centered. That is why, the centering of the belt must be carried out with
caution and patience.
2.5 If the belt goes immediately after the start so much to the side that it is
impossible to leave it to rotate and begin to adjust in the way described
above, the rollers located before the pulleys must be adjusted temporarily so
much that the belt can be rotated.
2.6 When the belt has been centered on the lower rollers and pulleys, the upper
belt has to be centered with the same principle. The final centering of the
upper belt takes place only when the conveyor is running with material. Then
the friction between the rollers and the belt is bigger, and the new belt adopts
finally to the form of the roller trough.
2.8 If the belt goes to the side when being run with material because material is
loaded on one side of the belt, this cannot normally be corrected by turning
the rollers, but it is necessary to make the necessary adjustments and
corrections to the feed hopper so that the material is guided to the middle of
the belt.
3/2007 4 (4)
3 Maintenance
It has to be seen to that, e.g. jammed rollers or too tight board rubber pieces
do not damage the belt.
In inspections pay attention also to that the belt runs in the middle and that
the strain is correct. Read through the maintenance instructions of the belt
manufacturer and observe them.
In periodic inspections check ocularly the belt joint and the belt; tracks on the
surface or edges of the belt can indicate that the belt chafes against some
fixed part.
3/2007 1 (2)
The main parts of the screw take-up device of the belt conveyor are:
The bearing housings have been fastened to the tensioning screws. When
these are tightened, the bearing housings move along the guideways located
on the frame structures of the conveyor. So by moving the take-up pulley
backwards, the necessary initial tightness is obtained for the conveyor belt in
order to produce a sufficient friction between the drive pulley and the belt.
The structure of the screw take-up device and the types of the components
used in your conveyor can be seen in the drawings and parts lists.
2. Adjustment
In conveyors tensioned by screw, the take-up pulley is normally also the tail
pulley of the conveyor.
In order that the belt would run in the middle, it is important that the pulley is
perpendicularly to the center line of the conveyor.
When the tightness of the belt is changed, it is necessary to move both ends
of the pulley equally.
The fastening screws of the bearing housing have to be loosened for the
adjustment.
3/2007 2 (2)
The tightness of the conveyor belt has been adjusted to the right value during
the installation and commissioning, but due to the stretch of the belt it is
necessary to check the tightness regularly and the belt has to be tensioned if
necessary.
The right tightness of the belt is checked normally by the sag of the lower belt.
The sag must be 0.8 - 1.5% of the span, when the belt is not running, t.e. if
the distance between the return rollers is 3 m, the sag of the belt between
them must be 25 - 45 mm.
Do not tension the belt too much, because this could damage the belt or the
pulley and its bearings.
A too slack belt causes slipping of the drive pulley and other failures.
If the belt will be out of use during a longer period, it is advisable to slacken
the belt for this period to achieve a longer service life of the belt.
3. Maintenance
3/2007 1 (2)
CONVEYOR PULLEYS
Conveyor pulleys are available in different sizes and structures, such as drive
pulleys, take-up pulleys and tail pulleys.
Similar pulleys are used also, e.g. in belt feeders.
Drive pulleys and in difficult conditions also other pulleys may have a rubber-
coated shell. The pulleys are often cambered, i.e. the diameter in the middle
of the pulley is a little bigger than at the ends.
The bearings of the pulleys are equipped with dust seals suitable for this
purpose.
The types of the pulleys and their bearings used in your conveyor can be
seen in the drawings and parts lists.
2. Adjustment
In conveyors with screw tensioning, the take-up pulley serves normally also
as the tail pulley of the conveyor.
In order that the belt would run in the middle, it is important that the pulley is
perpendicularly to the center line of the conveyor.
When the tightness of the belt is changed, it is necessary to move both ends
of the pulley equally.
The fastening screws of the bearing housings have to be loosened for the
adjustment.
Adjustment of the belt laterally on the pulley, see instruction ROX 11-02-20
par. 2.3.
The main principle is, however, that the belt is not normally adjusted by
turning the pulleys but the pulleys have always to be perpendicularly to the
center line of the conveyor.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
3. Maintenance
Follow the separate lubrication instruction for conveyor pulleys, where the
relubrication quantities and lubrication intervals have been determined.
The lubrication quantity and lubrication interval depend on the operating
conditions, bearing size and bearing type as well as lubrication method.
When the bearing housings are lubricated, see to that the lubricant coming
out from the bearing housings is cleaned and prevent it from coming onto the
conveyor belt.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 1 (2)
BELT CLEANERS
Belt cleaners are used in conveyors usually on the "dirty" side of the belt at
the drive pulley or immediately after it so that the material coming off from the
belt falls into the discharge hopper.
Cleaners of the lower belt are used to remove the material which has possibly
collected onto the return belt. These are normally placed on the lower belt just
before the tail pulley.
Belt cleaners which are used at the discharge end of the conveyor are
available as scrapers of various types where the "knife" wiping the belt is
pressed against the belt by different spring solutions.
At some difficult points it is possible to use also motor driven belt brushes.
The cleaners of the return belt are usually ploughs and diagonal wipers which
press the lower belt by the force of their own weight.
The belt cleaning parts of the scrapers and ploughs are made of different
materials, and they are always chosen individually for each case. They are
replaceable wearing parts.
The location and type of the belt cleaners used in your conveyor can be seen
in the drawings of the conveyor, and the construction of the cleaner is
described in more detail in the product brochures or similar of the cleaner.
2. Regulation
More detailed regulating instructions for the belt cleaner are in the brochures
and instructions for the belt cleaner.
For the functioning and service life of the cleaners it is very important that the
position of the scraper knife or similar is correct with respect to the belt/
pulley.
3/2007 2 (2)
3. Maintenance
The function of the belt cleaners has to be observed daily during the normal
operation of the conveyor.
3/2007 1 (2)
The conveyor roller system consists of roller supports, or roller fixing lugs, and
rollers.
Roller supports and fixing lugs are available in different sizes and types.
Conveyor rollers are available in many different sizes and structures, such as
supporting rollers, return rollers and guide rollers.
Rollers of the same type are used also, e.g. in belt feeders.
The return rollers and, e.g. the rollers at the conveyor loading point are often
equipped with rubber discs.
In addition, various special roller systems, such as guiding roller supports, are
integrated with roller systems.
The bearings of the rollers are equipped with dust seals suitable for this
purpose.
The structure of the rollers and their seals is presented in more detail in the
product brochures and catalogues of the roller manufacturer.
The types of the rollers used in your conveyor can be seen in the drawings
and parts lists.
2. Adjustment
In order that the conveyor would function flawlessly and the belt would remain
well centered, it is important that the roller systems are symmetrically
perpendicularly to the center line of the conveyor.
3/2007 2 (2)
3. Maintenance
The conveyor rollers are normally lubricated for life, so the bearings do not
require lubrication.
If your conveyor has rollers to be lubricated, i.e. they are equipped with
nipples, read through the roller manufacturer's lubricating instruction.
Regular periodic inspections and maintenance are very important for the
service life of the rollers and belt.
- check that the roller supports are fixed properly, and that they have not bent
or moved
- clean the roller supports and rollers from material collected onto them, if it
may prevent the rollers from rotating or if the belt does not remain in the
centered position
- check that the rollers rotate easily and without noise
- check that the roller shell is undamaged, the defective and dangerously
worn rollers are to be replaced on time
- check the condition of the rubber discs of rollers equipped with discs; the
rollers whose rubber discs have moved or worn so that they are no more
round, have to be repaired or replaced
The conveyor rollers and their rotation must be observed also when the
conveyor is running. The rollers which do not rotate must be replaced as soon
as possible.
Sometimes, especially with an unloaded conveyor it may occur that there are
rollers which do not rotate owing to too light contact of the belt with the roller.
In very wearing conditions this may wear the belt and roller shell; it must be
assured that also these rollers rotate with a loaded belt.
3/2007 1 (1)
GUIDING BOARDS
The guiding boards are normally side plates of steel structure placed on the
side of the conveyor belt, e.g. at the loading point of the conveyor and after it.
They guide the material to the middle of the belt and serve as splash and dust
seals. The back board at the conveyor loading point belongs also to the
guiding boards.
The structure and type of the guiding boards used in your conveyor can be
seen in the drawings and parts lists.
2. Maintenance
The condition of the rubber seals of the guiding boards is very important for
the dust-tightness of the plant. Therefore it is necessary to observe the
condition (dust-tightness) of the rubber seals of the guiding boards also
during the operation of the equipment.
During the periodic inspections and maintenance check that the boards are
fixed properly, and that the rubber seals are duly tight.
If the seals are too loose, material and dust will leak; if they are too tight, the
belt will be damaged.
In most board rubber and seal structures it is possible to adjust the seals
closer to the belt, if they are worn. If the rubber has worn so low that it will not
touch the belt so that the fixture would be reliable, the rubber has to be
changed.
Check that the possible wearing plates of the guiding boards are in order,
renew the worn ones.
Check that the protective nets are in place and well fixed.
3/2007 1 (3)
DIFFICULT CONDITIONS ( B )
The cleaning of the devices and the surrounding areas has to be performed
so often that the material collecting onto the devices and in the surrounding
area does not hinder the functioning of the equipment or endanger the
general safety.
3/2007 2 (3)
In some objects it is also possible to lengthen the intervals, e.g. for cleaning, if
the experience has shown that it is not necessary to clean so often.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTION, BELT CONVEYOR
The drive unit of Mobile belt conveyors is normally hydraulic motor, gearbox
with electric motor or drum motor and included to the scope.
Speed detectors and pull cord emergency switches are normally included in
the scope, but emergency stop push buttons can be also used. Because of
the conveyor installation to the chassis at SRP workshop, particularly the pull
cord emergency system must be installed and tested at workshop before the
delivery to Customer takes place.

MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 1 (2)
1. Construction
The pull cord is located at the side of the equipment, generally between the
service passage and the equipment, along the whole length of the equipment,
at least in the zone where is a service passage or where the access near the
equipment is otherwise possible.
The cord has been suspended on special rings, and pulleys are used in
curved areas.
Several types of switches from various manufacturers are used. The type and
location of the pull cord emergency switches used in your equipment can be
seen in the parts lists and drawings.
2. Principle of operation
The purpose of the pull cord emergency switch is to stop the equipment when
one pulls at the cord.
When you pull at the cord, the lever or stem of the switch moves, and the
contact of the switch will open, whereat the control system stops the
equipment.
The emergency stop wire switch is always mechanically locked in the open
position, and this can be released only by pressing the reset pushbutton of
the switch or similar.
In most pull cord emergency stop systems, the switch functions in two
directions, and the pull cord has been tensioned by means of a spring to an
appropriate tightness, so the slackening or breaking of the cord will cause
also an emergency stop.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
3. Regulation
The emergency stop switches and cords have been regulated to the right
tightness when being installed and taken into use.
For some types of switches are separate regulating instructions given by the
manufacturer of the device.
4. Maintenance
The pull cord emergency stop system does not require any special
maintenance, but cleaning and regular periodic inspections are necessary.
In periodic inspections it has to be checked that the switch and its cables are
fixed properly. Check that the cord, its locks and fixtures are OK. Check that
the cord is tensioned to the right tightness, and that it can move freely.

ROTATION DETECTOR
1. Construction
2. Principle of operation
The purpose of the rotation control is also to stop the drive motor of the
device in question if the frequency is below the set value. So it is possible to
get an alarm of the stop of the device or failures in, e.g. transmission, slipping
belt and some defects in the electric and control system.
In order to start the device normally, the rotation control is by-passed during
the start. This is effected by the control system or the properties of the
detector itself.
3. Adjustment
The LED of the detector is on when the impulse value exceeds the set value,
and 10s. after energized (start time delay).
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
When the screw is turned clockwise, the impulse value increases and vice
versa.
Try to find out the screw setting which is as near the normal rotational speed
of the device as possible, i.e. the point where the LED just lights up/goes out
when the device is rotating at the normal speed. From this point the setting is
decreased by ¼ - 1½ turns. So the alarm point can be set 10 - 60% below
the normal speed of rotation. The amount of turns depends on the impulse
value in question.
The number of impulses for rotation detectors equipped with a separate relay
unit is set by means of the relay according to the manufacturer's instructions.
If impulses are counted in the logic program, also the setting takes place by
programming.
4. Maintenance
The rotation detector does not require any special maintenance, but cleaning
and regular periodic inspections are necessary.
The detector and recognition pieces have to be kept enough clean so that
material or foreign matter does not damage the detector when being between
them. The detector itself is very tight against humidity and dust.
In periodic maintenance check that the fixture of the detector, its cables and
recognition pieces are OK.
The periodic inspections and maintenance are to be performed at intervals
determined by the maintenance schedule. See instruction: Maintenance
schedule.
After checking the function, set the detector and the possible adjustments
back to the right values where they were before causing the failure in rotation.
Lubrication instruction BTF Pulley bearings.
Relubrication intervals
The relubrication interval tf can be estimated from the diagram as a function of the rotational speed n
(r/min), the mean diameter of the bearing dm (table) and the operating temperature (°C).
The recommended intervals correspond to a time when 90 % of the bearings are still reliably lubricated,
and represent L10 grease life. When the L10 grease life is equivalent to or higher than the L10 basic rating
life of the Y-bearing or Y-bearing unit, bearing or unit can be considered as being lubricated for life and
relubrication is not required.
The intervals obtained from the diagram are valid for Y-bearings and Y-bearing units
– on horizontal shafts
– in stationary machines
– for operating temperatures between +40 and +55 °C
– at low loads (C/P ≥ 15).
If operating conditions differ it is necessary to reduce the relubrication intervals obtained from the
diagram, namely
– on vertical shafts by 50 %
– at higher loads, e.g. at C/P = 8 by roughly 50 %
– in severe, very dirty or damp environment by up to 90 %.
Vibrations have an influence on the grease life too. The extent cannot be quantified exactly but it is
noticeable at rising operating temperatures. Also when the operating temperatures are below +40 °C for
longer periods, the grease life is shortened because the oil separation is reduced.
The values for reducing the relubrication intervals are estimated values. In cases of doubt the SKF
application engineering service should be contacted.
In cases where machines and equipment are used for a limited period of time, it is recommended that
they should be relubricated at the end of the operational period, i.e. immediately before being laid up.

When relubricating, the grease should be pressed in slowly to the bearing until fresh grease escapes from
the seal. Avoid excessive pressure as this can damage the seals.
Grease
For relubrication of standard Y-bearing units the use of SKF grease LGWA 2, which is fully compatible with
the original grease, is recommended. The multi-purpose SKF greases LGMT 2 and LGMT 3 are also
compatible with the original grease and may also be used for relubrication.
An alternative grease is Shell Alvania RL2 or equal grease from other manufacurer.

2. Introduction
MU30 belt cleaner equipped with hard metal blades is used on the dirty side of the belt. It removes residue that has
adhered to the belt via a rubbing motion. It is developed for very abrasive materials. Cleaners operation is at its best with
the new, smooth belt. Do not install the cleaner on the belt which is teared, with holes or big roughness on the surface.
Before removing MU30 from its package, take it to the place where it will be installed. Make sure that the package is not
damaged and procede then to unpack the cleaner from the package. You will find pictures of the cleaner’s parts from the
enclosed assemby illustrations. Please contact Sandvik/Hollola or a representative if parts are missing from the box or if
any of the parts are damaged.
Handle the parts with care. A damaged surface will easily rust if it comes in contact with moisture, especially in a maritime
climate. To eliminate this, transportation and handling of the cleaner must be done so as not to cause damage to the
surface.
NOTE! The conveyor must always be stopped, the main switch must be turned off and locked to prevent accidental
activation before any installation or maintenance work is to be performed on the conveyor.

CLEANING
1. General
For the fire safety reasons, the cleaning of the equipment and their
surrounding areas is extremely important, especially if material or its dust is
flammable/explosive fuel, such as e.g. peat.
2. Cleaning intervals
It is very difficult to define any exact general cleaning intervals. The cleaning
intervals depend on the material to be handled, the dust-proof of the
equipment and the operation of the dust removal and ventilation systems.
The cleaning intervals have to be planned separately for each place on the
basis of the experience in the same kind of places. The intervals have to be
selected so that the dust in equipment and the surrounding area does not
harm the operation of the equipment. General safety must not be endangered
(N.B. fire safety).
In some very difficult places or with very dusty materials, cleaning is needed
daily.
On the other hand, in not so dusty places and with non-flammable materials a
general cleaning once a year can be enough.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
3. Safety
The cleaning of the equipment and the surrounding area has to be done when
the equipment is not operating.
By being extra carefull some cleaning work, such as floor cleaning, can be
done also when the equipment is operating. In that case the entire cleaning
personnel has to know the possible elements of danger connected with the
equipment.
The risks for using compressed air or strong water jet have to be known.
4. Cleaning methods
The cleaning method depends on the place, material to be handled and the
available cleaning systems and equipment.
Traditional sweeping with a brush and shoveling (if needed) is in most cases
a sufficient cleaning method.
If vacuum cleaner system is available, cleaning will be, of course,
considerably better and faster.
Compressed air might be in some cases good, but cleaning with only
compressed air is usually not a sufficient cleaning method, because then dust
and dirt only move from one place to an other.
Before using a washer jet it has to be made sure that it is allowed to clean the
equipment with water jet, and that the accumulation of washer waste has
been arranged in a proper way.
Water jet can never be pointed to non-hardy parts of the equipment, such as
electric appliances or bearings or to their sealings.
3/2007 1 (2)
1. General
The instructions relating to the devices of some machines may contain more
detailed instructions.
E.g. gears, fluid couplings and hydraulic systems may contain oils. E.g. with
radiometric principle operating belt scales and the level indicators of material
may contain radioactive materials.
2. Dismounting
Ensure also that the electric current has been switched off from the
equipment and all cables attached to it before starting the work.
3/2007 2 (2)
3. Storing
If the equipment or its parts are stored for later use, this must be considered
when dismounting the equipment so that the equipment will not be damaged
during the dismounting work.
The parts exposed to corrosion are protected with anti-rust compound, the
lubrication points are lubricated, the belts of the V-belt drives are loosened
and the tensioning of the conveyor belt is loosened in the whole belt
conveyors.
The gears and shaft mechanisms of e.g. screens are filled with lubrication oil
quite full in order to avoid corrosion damages.
When storing the equipment and machines moisture must be avoided and the
protections and storing of electric equipment must be performed according to
their own instructions.
4. Destroying
The problem waste like oils are destroyed according to the general
regulations and instructions. (Treatment plant of problem waste)
The rubber parts like e.g. conveyor belts must be delivered to be destroyed to
the waste treatment plant.
Generally for the part of other constructions the instructions for destroying,
sorting and recycling of different materials are followed.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 1 (2)
COMMISSIONING
1. Commissioning inspections
The inspection shall be carried out by a person who knows well the
equipment to be inspected, commissioner and/or installation supervisor.
The commissioning forms are used as a check list and instructions for the
inspection, and they will be documents concerning the inspections and
regulations carried out.
2. First start
It is very important to carry out the first start of the belt conveyor with
caution and control, because there is a big risk of various damages.
Before the first start the commissioning inspections have to be carried out to
the extent that it is possible without running the motor.
Immediately after the first short start, make sure that the belt remains
sufficiently centered.
The belt is centered in accordance with the instruction ROX 11-02-20, par. 2.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/2007 2 (2)
The belt conveyor has to be run without material during several hours,
sometimes even during several days, before the run with material can be
started.
When the conveyor is run without material, check the function of all electrical
safety devices and lockings.
Check that the sound, tightness and temperature of the reducer are normal.
The trial run with material is started with a small quantity of material,
observing the function of the hoppers and the centering of the belt.
If the material is not guided to the center of the belt, adjust and repair the
hopper accordingly.
Increase the quantity of the material to be fed onto the conveyor until the
normal/maximum capacity is achieved, carry out the necessary adjustments
to the feed hopper and the belt.
3/2007 1 (3)
DIFFICULT CONDITIONS ( B )
The cleaning of the devices and the surrounding areas has to be performed
so often that the material collecting onto the devices and in the surrounding
area does not hinder the functioning of the equipment or endanger the
general safety.
3/2007 2 (3)
In some objects it is also possible to lengthen the intervals, e.g. for cleaning, if
the experience has shown that it is not necessary to clean so often.

1.3 Warranty
Warranty clauses and period are defined in the documents related to the purchase agreement.
The general warranty requirement is that the pulleys are installed, serviced, and inspected in accordance with this manual.
The warranty also requires that the spare parts be genuine Sandvik spare parts.
The conveyed materials cause wear of the pulley coating. This is normal wear caused by operation, not a manufacturing
defect in the coating, and thus it will not be compensated.
The warranty for the pulleys becomes void if the regular inspections and service required for the appropriate operation
cannot be performed due to the position of the pulley. Inspections and service measures are to be recorded in the track
sheet.
The conveyor pulley must be selected on a case-specific basis in accordance with the selection criteria for the conveyor
pulley in the Sandvik Conveyor Components product catalogue.
The pulley type plate is equipped with a label containing the type marking code and special requirements for the order.
Type marking, e.g., DK80-400X-1400
The pulleys delivered to explosive atmospheres are equipped with the prefix EX and Ex marking code in accordance with
directive 94/9/EC.
Type marking, e.g., EX-DK80-400X-1400
‘Ex’ marking, e.g. Ex ll 2GD T85°C or Ex l M2 (for mining conditions)
The correspondence between ‘Ex’ marking code and conditions must be ensured on a case-specific base before installation
of the pulley. Only pulleys coated with antistatic rubber coating are delivered to explosive atmospheres.
2. Prerequisites
The pulleys must be used in the conditions defined in the original selection criteria. The capacity of the conveyor, belt speed,
and conveyed materials must not differ from the agreed ratings. The operator must verify the voltage compensation in the
installation position.
The personnel responsible for the operation, service, and inspections of the plant’s machines and equipment is appropriately
trained and familiarised with the properties and performance characteristics of the equipment. A sufficient number of trained
and familiarized personnel must always be present. Installations, inspections, and services may be performed by trained and
familiarised personnel only.
The machines and equipment must be serviced and inspected as defined in the agreed timetable, which is compiled in
accordance with the conditions. The services and inspections and the measurements involved in them must be recorded in
the track sheet. The track sheets must be presented to the Sandvik/Haparanda representative as required. Inspections in
accordance with the instructions are the prerequisite for the warranty to be valid.
The work (installations, services, adjustments) must be performed in accordance with the applicable directives,
requirements of the specifying standards, and the local laws and regulations.
3. Safety
NOTE:
Carefully read the occupational safety instructions before commencing the installation work.
Comply with the instructions concerning protective devices and personal protective equipment given by the person
responsible for safety.
NOTE:
When the machine is installed in an explosive area, the composition and concentration of dust/gases must be
examined before flame cutting and welding. Flame cutting and welding may cause an explosion, which can result
in severe injuries and danger to life.
NOTE:
The conveyor must be stopped, start-up prevented, and voltage shut off, also in all auxiliary equipment of the conveyor,
before commencing the installation, service, or adjustment measures.
NOTE:
The belt must be covered with a fire-proof material (e.g., fabric) before flame cutting or welding. The burst of sparks
and molten metal may damage the belt.
NOTE:
All loose parts and tools must be removed from the belt before starting the conveyor. The loose parts may cause
severe injuries to the persons working near the conveyor and damage the conveyor.
NOTE:
Touching the conveyor belt and the moving parts of the conveyor is prohibited when the conveyor is running. Clothes
may be caught get in the gap between the belt and idler, or get entangled in the belt. As a result of this, the clothes
may be torn or the person working too near the conveyor may be driven with the belt.
The general storage conditions must match the subsequent use of the pulleys, and the conditions must not cause
premature damage to the pulleys. The packages must be opened after marine transport and checked to ensure that the
pulleys are undamaged.
Transporting loose pulleys is not allowed. The pulleys must be packed in their own transport containers or bound in
pallets with steel or plastic bands for transportation. A max. of two crates may be stacked one on top of the other while
maintaining a constant crate-specific load. Stacking on unstrengthened underlay is not allowed.
The pulleys must be stored in a covered and dry location before installation. The flatness and stability of the underlay must
be ensured if the pulleys have to be stored outdoors. The pulleys must be completely shielded from the weather during
storage. The condensation of water must be prevented by selecting a suitable shield.
When changing the storage location, appropriate load-lifting devices must be used. The min. ground clearance is 100 mm.
The pulleys can be stored in their transport containers in supported piles. A max. of two crates may be stacked one on top
of the other.
When lifting, the packages must be hung in balance. The load-lifting devices may not be attached to suspension straps;
instead the lifting straps/chains must be positioned below the pallet/crate (see the figure below).
Unloading and reloading must be performed with load-lifting devices that comply with the appropriate and valid
regulations. Loading and unloading are not allowed with a lifting bucket or an electric magnet. When storing and
transporting individual pulleys, avoid impact load on axles and damages in the shell. No deflections to the pulley axle
are allowed.
Examples of the recommended lifting methods (pulleys equipped with external bearing housings).
The load of the lift must be applied to the pulley shell - not to the bearings and axle.
The load of the lift must be applied to the pulley shell and not to the bearings and axle. The recommended lifting method in
the installation.
The lifting strap must not be threaded around the axle between the bearing housings and shell. The lifting strap
pushes to the side of the bearing housing and it damages the bearing housing sealing when removing the belt.
The lifting method loads the axle in the wrong way and causes a deflection.
Examples of the recommended lifting methods (tail pulleys equipped with internal bearing
housings).
The load of the lift must be applied to the pulley shell - not to the bearings and axle.
The lifting strap must not be threaded around the axle. The lifting strap slips from the end of the axle or applies an incorrect
load to the axle/bearings, thus causing a deflection.
If an assembled tail or drive end is lifted during installation, the lift must be performed with support from the structures - not
by applying the load to the axle and bearings.
Move the pulley to the installation site in the transport packaging, if possible. Check that the package is not damaged.
Unpack the pulley. The parts of the pulley are presented and listed in the enclosed assembly figures. If the contents of the
delivery is incomplete or parts of it are damaged, we ask you to contact your Sandvik/Haparanda representative.
Installation of the conveyor pulley must be performed carefully at all times. The installation plays a crucial role in holding
the belt in the middle of the conveyor in the travel direction, and in the life span of the pulley. The installation position of the
pulley affects the load applied to the bearings depending on the load condition.
The conveyor pulleys must be installed symmetrically and perpendicular in relation to the centre line of the conveyor. This
ensures that the belt stays in the centre line of the conveyor in the travel direction. The pulleys must be securely attached to
the conveyor frame structure. Note the tightening torques of the bearing housing screws. The position of the belt in the
centre line of the conveyor must not be corrected by placing the tail pulley in a skewed position.
Follow the bearing manufacturer’s instructions and use tools that are suitable for the installation of bearings.
Flanged seals are adapted to the axle through holes in the dust casing, see the appendix.
The conveyor must be equipped with guiding idlers if running of the belt is unstable (e.g., because of the eccentric load or,
in open conveyers, the wind, etc.) or when lightweight belts are used in long conveyors.
Inspections and services of the pulleys must be performed on a case-specific basis as defined in the agreed timetable,
which is compiled in accordance with the conditions. The timetable is compiled by the pulley supplier and end user.
Continuous inspections are necessary to ensure that the conveyor runs the service interval without any shutdowns caused
by damage. The inspections are marked in the track sheet. Monitoring is a part of the preventive maintenance.
A faulty pulley must be inspected and serviced as soon as possible. The conveyor must not be used if one of the conveyor
pulleys is faulty or damaged.
The pulleys must be used in the conditions defined in the original selection criteria. The capacity, belt speed, and conveyed
materials must not differ from the agreed ratings.
Pulley bearings must be replaced when their calculated life span (usually 25,000 h or max. 10 years) is complete, even if
the bearings are visually in good working order. Particularly in explosive spaces, the agreed replacement interval must be
observed.
Fallen products must be removed so that they are not in contact with moving parts. Also any dust and/or materials layered
in the conveyor structures must be removed because of the danger of ignition.
B = Bad conditions
Moisture, frost.
Wetness, dust.
Mining conditions
E.g.,
Underground mining equipment
Indoor mining equipment
Indoor bark conveyors
Indoor chip conveyors
C = Normal conditions
E.g.,
Paper and other unit goods conveyors.
Explosive spaces
Explosive spaces are defined in directive 1999/92/EC and standards SFS-EN1127-1 and SFS-EN 13463 specify-
ing the directive. The standards are applied in air mixtures under pressure of 0.8...1.1 bar and temperature of -
20...+60°C. However, the danger of explosion cannot be excluded or ignored even if the operation is performed
outside the above mentioned tolerances.
An explosive air mixture can be present in any spaces defined in items A, B, and C. The definition of the explosive
space does not exclude any of the condition definitions (A, B, C), but it requires procedures/equipment that are in
accordance with the directive and standards, and specifies the operating condition selection (A, B, C).
The explosive spaces of the plant are discussed and defined in the explosion protection document.

– Check that the pulley does not rub against the dust casing wall or steel structures. Bearing or axle may be damaged.
The conveyor must be stopped immediately.
– Check that the bearing housing seals are undamaged, and that the lubricant does not leak. The labyrinth seals must
not scrub against each other.
– Check that the flanged seals in the through holes of the dust casing are undamaged and in place (funnel structures).
– Test the operation of safety devices (e.g., vibration and temperature control, rotation sensors, moving-aside sensors).
Replace any faulty safety device at once.
– Monitor tightness of the belt. When it becomes hot, a slipping belt can cause a danger of explosion, particularly in
explosive spaces. A loose belt slips and causes wear on the pulley coating.
– Monitor the condition and running of the belt. The belt must not move aside from the centre line. Any tears or damage
on the edge must be repaired at once. The belt must be replaced as necessary.
– Monitor operation of the cleaners. The cleaners must be firmly attached and operate correctly. See care instructions for
the cleaner.
– Any dust and/or materials layered in the conveyor structures must be regularly removed, during the next shutdown at
the latest.
– Foreign objects must be immediately removed from structures. A foreign object may get caught between the pulley and
belt and cause damage.
– If the pulley/bearing housings/operating unit are partly or fully covered by the material, the material must be
immediately removed. The material penetrates through the bearing housing seals to the bearing space and causes
premature bearing damage. Bearing housings do not cool down but overheat because of the material which causes a
danger of ignition.
– Estimate the replacement need of the bearings. Check that the pulley rotates smoothly, easily, and silently. Follow the
replacement interval agreed upon in the life span calculation.
– Check and replace the bearing housing seals as necessary. Follow the seal and bearing manufacturer’s instructions
for service and replacement of the seals. Only genuine spare parts should be used.
– Check that the bearing housings are undamaged, and that the lubricant does not leak. Examine the consistency and
quantity of the lubricant. If the lubricant leaks out before the end of the calculated life span and the bearing runs without
lubrication or gets dusty, the bearing must be immediately replaced.
– Examine and repair any structural damages in the axle. Replace the pulley if the axle is damaged.
– Remove the flanged seal from the axle through hole before removing the dust casing. Reinstall the flanged seal before
restarting the conveyor.
– Check that the steel structure of the pulley is undamaged. Replace the pulley if the structure is damaged or the shell
worn out.
– Check that the coating is undamaged. Repair or replace the damaged coating before commencing work.
– Measure the parallelism between the pulley and belt at least during each shutdown. The belt must run in the center
line of the conveyor and the pulley must rotate perpendicular to the centre line of the conveyor.
– Check that the pulley shell is clean. Remove any material or dirt stuck there.
– Test the operation of safety devices (e.g., vibration and temperature control, rotation sensors, moving-aside sensors).
Replace any faulty safety device.
– Examine the condition of the cleaners at the same time in accordance with the care instructions of the cleaner.
Remove any material and foreign objects stuck in them.
– Remove any dust and/or materials layered in the conveyor structures and clean the area around the conveyor.
Rubber coating is a long-lasting friction surface with low service requirement. The conveyed materials always cause wear
on the pulley coating. This is normal wear caused by operation, not necessarily a manufacturing or material defect.
The chemical composition and the mechanical wear of the conveyed material cause changes and damage to the rubber
coating.
Examples of monitoring:
– Visual inspection. Chart the changes visually:
– Mechanical damage
– Traces and changes in the coating caused by local wear.
– Rubber surface changes (scaling, blistering, cracking, etc.).
– Grip damage (bubbles in the coating).
– Regular measurements in selected areas:
– Rubber hardness in accordance with, e.g., ASTM D 2240.
– Thickness of the coating.
– Electricity leak measurement
Ageing of the coating can be divided into two different phenomena:
– Changes in the rubber material during use.
– Adhesion of the coating in the shell surface.
Monitoring the rubber coating is part of the preventive maintenance. Items that require repair are marked in the track sheet
in the inspections and repaired during the following shutdown or as soon as possible, if necessary.
The information in this manual about selection and service of the bearings are based on the instructions from the bearing
manufacturer (SKF). The bearing manufacturer’s information and instructions are valid in conflict situations (e.g.
information updates).
The pulley bearings must be lubricated with a lubricant type which is suitable to the operating conditions. The end user is
responsible for selecting the lubricant and the possible change of the grease type. Sandvik/Haparanda recommends
staying with the selected grease/thickener type in order to ensure the blending possibility between greases. The lubricant
must be selected on a case-specific basis. The grease characteristics must be determined from the manufacturer’s
information before changing the grease type.
Avoid recurring skin contact when handling the lubricants. Follow the instructions in the material safety data sheet
compiled by the lubricant manufacturer and use appropriate protective clothing. The material safety data sheets must be
enclosed with the pulley care instructions and updated when changing the lubricant type or when the manufacturer’s
product information is changed. The end user is responsible for updating the information.
The bearing housings are filled with lubricant in the assembly phase.
The pulleys must be protected and lubricating points piped in a way that ensures safe lubrication.
The lubrication of the pulley bearings during operation must always be performed when the pulley is rotating (except for BR
pulleys, type A). When the lubrication is performed during operation, the lubricant is distributed evenly to the bearings and
seals, and the seal pressure does not become too high.
The consistency and amount of the lubricant must be monitored regurarly during operation, at least in service procedures
during shutdown.
The used lubricant is hazardous waste. Lubricant removed from service must be stored and disposed of in accordance
with the national regulations prevailing at the operation site.
The information in the table is provided by lubricant manufacturers. Sandvik/Haparanda takes no responsibility for
changes in the information published by manufacturers.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION
ADJUSTMENTS
General
Belt conveyors have not been tested at workshop but certain adjustments are carried out
based on tests done eralier. Anayway The tests were carried out without material. The
material weight and location on the belt may change the situation and therefore some
adjustments can be actual due to misalignment of the belt.
The position of Mobil unit has also influence for the belt misalignment. Operation in
position where pulleys are in ”hand level” is optimal for belt conveyor.
1. Belt take-up
The length of belt can be adjusted by using screw take-up locating at drive end of
conveyor. Note; adjust both sides as much to avoid misalignment of belt.
2. Adjusting of belt
In the case of the continuous misalignment of the belt there are few possibilities for the
adjustments. Before any adjustment, see first ROX11-02-40 instructions from the
Maintenance and Operation file.
3. Belt replacing
The belt is wear part and shall be replaced when needed. See separate instruction made
by belt supplier.
4. Belt cleaner
Adjust the cleaner acc. to the instruction. Replace the wear part in time.
Ensure regularly that fastenings are tightened. Retighten them acc. to given torques when
needed (replace damaged fittings with new ones). Extensive inspection shall be done at
least every year.
General
Safety
Respect all instructions given and general caution. Follow instructions issued by local
authorities.
- entanglement at a rotating part or moving part; ensure that the gap guards are always
installed when operating
- falling/rolling material from the belt; prevent personnel enter to risk zone
- unexpected starts; ensure the warning device function and use a safety switch
- Noise from material and operation; use personal protective devices
- Material dusts; use personal protective devices
- Disuse of personal protective devices; train personal for proper use of devices
- Back rotation of belt particularly when belt is loaded with material (for example when
there is blockage on loading area below the crusher); prevent the motor rotation
Capacity
The proper use of Belt Conveyor will increase the lifetime of conveyor as well as the safety
of operation. Ensure that the capacity and material particle size on the belt do not exceed
given values (ton/h). The maximum particle size and capacity are defined on the main
drawing.
Records
All actions related to the scheduled maintenance, part replacing and damages must be
recorded in the Maintenance Log.

The receiver is connected to the unit to be controlled with the multi-pin connecting
cable supplied. Please observe the instructions issued by the manufacturer of the unit
to be controlled! We recommend urgently to realize this connection via a cen-
tral, well accessible, multi-pin plug connector (for example HTS-plug connec-
tor series HE/HB/HN/HA or comparable ones of other manufacturers) to
Mounting possibility of the receiver make possible a quick and clear fault diagnosis in the service case and to
R-16, R-CAN or the Compact-M. take off the receiver without an expenditure of assembly.
The power supply of the receiver is generally effected by the connecting cable.
% In general, an earth lead is required in case the units to be controlled
have not previously been operated by radio control. Failing this, the
receiver electronic circuit will not receive any power supply. Ensure that
the operating voltage of the receiver complies with the electrical specifi-
cations of the unit to be controlled. The applicable operating voltage is
specified in the supplement.
% Never expose the receiver to a high pressure cleaning jet. This applies to
the transmitter also.
% The receiver should always be fixed vertically at the outside panel of the
switching cabinet. (The antenna should always reach over the top of the
panel.)
Mounting possibility of the receiver
Compact-V. % You have to make sure that the antenna is not shielded by metal parts
totally or partly.
% Mounting the receiver in a cabine or in a switching cabinet the antenna
should be layed with an extension cable to the outside and be attached with
the fastening strapping as horizontally as possible with distance to the
shielding metal parts.
% In general the antenna should always be mounted in such a way so that the
antenna is still visible with each change of position of the transmitter.

5. OPERATING THE UNIT Safety equipment in the NBB-radio remote control:
To ensure fault-free operation, please follow precisely the following rules for operation:
The unit to be controlled can only be switched on - it is assumed that the transmitter is
ready to operate - when no command unit is actuated. The command necessary to do so
is triggered by the key "ON/HORN". This triggers a horn signal in the unit to be controlled.
After switch-on of the facility to be controlled, this key is used for repeated emission of the
horn signal in accordance with working regulations.
If the NBB radio remote control is not used for a long period, it is urgently recom-
mended - if you use rechargeable batteries - that they should be charged now
and again (about every 4 weeks). This prevents deep discharges of the batteries
and prolongs their useful life. If you shut down the NBB radio remote control for a

long period, we recommend you take the batteries out of the transmitter.
Frequency change:
To change the frequency, keep the "ON/HORN" key pressed down. Then operate the "FRE-
FREQUENCY CHANGE QUENCY CHANGE" key. If the receiver locks into the new frequency, a horn signal is given
(if present) and the unit to be controlled is ready for operation.
Please observe the particular postal approval regulations of the concerned country.
Channel number: When changing the frequency the channel number lights up shortly in
53 the display. During operation the choosen channel can be shown by pressing the “FRE-
QUENCY CHANGE” key.
(See example on the left)

6. FUNCTION CHECK To maintain operational safety, a regular function check of the NBB radio remote control is
necessary. In single-shift day-to-day operation, we recommend performing this check at
least once a week. Checking is possible using the display lights provided on the receiver.
To do so, the transmitter must be set to the ready-to-operate state.
% First connect just the receiver - the transmitter remains switched off.
% Activate the transmitter by unlocking the EMERGENCY STOP switch, resp. pres-
sing the key "START/ON/HORN".
% Now check the commands (always start with the lowest stage) and check for cor-
rect reaction of the unit to be controlled.
% Ensure in particular that there is nobody in the danger area. ACCIDENT RISK!
% STOP, resp. EMERGENCY STOP check. Press the EMERGENCY STOP switch at
the transmitter until the switch engages, resp. press the STOP key. Then observe
if the unit to be controlled is switched off (time to switch off according to the appli-
cation).

7. RATING PLATES The rating plates state the type of transmitter or receiver, the factory number, the fre-
quency range and the approval number for non EU countries.
Always state the factory number in all your queries.
Example:
XX X
8. MAINTENANCE Your NBB radio remote control is largely maintenance-free. Nevertheless, please bear in
mind the following points:
% The STOP key, resp.the EMERGENCY STOP switch must be easy to move.
% Remove any leftover building materials!
% During electro-welding work on the unit to be controlled, disconnect the receiver from
the current supply! Otherwise there is a risk of damage to the receiver's electronic sys-
tem!
% Check wear and tear parts like dust shield tops regular!
9. WARRANTY We grant a function warranty for 12 months after the sale date for all NBB radio remote
controls (transmitter, receiver, charger). The warranty covers working time and material
used. Shipping costs shall be charged to the customer. The warranty shall not cover:
wear and tear parts, relays and batteries. The function warranty shall be invalidated in the
case of damage, accident damage, negligence, incorrect use, non-compliance with ope-
rating conditions, non-compliance with operating, testing and maintenance instructions,
and repairs or unit modifications not authorised by NBB.
NBB shall not be liable for indirect damage and reserves the right to decide on repair or re-
placement.
10. IN CASE OF DEFECTS Do not attempt to continue working with a defective NBB radio remote control. Even initial-
ly minor defects might be the start of a more extensive defect.
Do not try to repair the NBB radio remote control yourself. If there is any fault please con-
tact your dealer or our company.
