Conveyor

Perform daily start-up procedure (see Start-up procedure for “REGULAR”mode in this chapter). The conveyor is controlled by a 125 hp pump motor. The conveyor may be operated utilizing the “REGULAR”mode switch and conveyor speed/direction control valves located on the right side of the machine.

There is a timer in the conveyor circuit that only allows the conveyor to run for a preset time then times out. If, during this time, a start button is engaged, the timer is reset back to zero and the timer starts timing again.

In the event the conveyor becomes jammed and it is necessary to reverse the chain, this may be done by changing the conveyor two position control valve from forward to reverse.

IMPORTANT! If it is necessary to reverse the conveyor, it should be jogged only. Running the conveyor in the reverse direction for a period of time with material in the hopper, will jam the conveyor and it will be necessary to empty the machine hopper before the conveyor will restart.
