2.5.17 Conveyor

It serves for distributing the material to augers. The conveyor function is only active in working mode.

Conveyor movement directions:

• When distributing the material, the conveyor moves in the opposite direction of the machine travel.

• When reversing, the material conveyor moves in the direction of the machine travel.

• The conveyor direction can be affected by the conveyor direction switch (18).

Operating modes:

• Automatic mode:

- When the machine stops, the material distribution will stop.

- The material limit switch monitors the amount of the delivered material and as needed, stops or starts the movement of the conveyor.

- The mode is only active during machine travel.

- The conveyor direction can be affected by the conveyor direction switch (18).

• Manual mode:

- Monitor the amount of the material and if necessary adjust the direction of the conveyor by the conveyor direction switch (18).

Operating the conveyor:

• Automatic mode:

- For the automatic mode, switch over the material delivery operating mode switch MAN/AUT (17) to the automatic mode position.

- For material distribution, switch over the conveyor direction switch (18) to the lower position.

- For reverse run, switch over the conveyor direction switch (18) to the upper position.

- To stop the conveyor, switch over the conveyor direction switch (18) to the central position.

• Manual mode:

- For the manual mode, switch over the material delivery operating mode switch MAN/AUT (17) to the manual mode position.

- For material distribution, switch over the conveyor direction switch (18) to the lower position.

- For reverse run, switch over the conveyor direction switch (18) to the upper position.

- To stop the conveyor, switch over the conveyor direction switch (18) to the central position.

Caution! When the conveyor direction switch (18) is activated in the lower position, the conveyor moves in the manual mode even if the machine is not moving.

Caution! When the conveyor direction switch (18) is activated to the upper position, the conveyor starts moving in the automatic mode only after the machine starts moving.

2.5.18 Conveyor limit switch

If the automatic mode of the conveyor is set, it is possible to control the quantity of the delivered material to augers by setting the conveyor limit switch.

The conveyor limit switch assembly consists of the limit switch (1) and the limit switch arm (4).

The quantity of the material delivered to augers can be controlled by extending and retracting the limit switch arm (4), or to increase the setting range of the delivered material, by shifting the conveyor limit switch assembly on the holder (5).

Procedure for setting the conveyor limit switch:

• Adjustment by means of the limit switch arm:

- Set the required position of the limit switch arm (4).

- Loosen the lock screw (3) of the limit switch arm (4).

- To increase the quantity of the delivered material, retract the limit switch arm (4).

- To reduce the quantity of the delivered material, extend the limit switch arm (4).

- Tighten the lock screw (3) of the limit switch arm (4).

• Adjustment by shifting the limit switch assembly:

- Set the required position of the limit switch assembly (1).

- Loosen the lock screw (2) of the limit switch assembly (1).

- To increase the quantity of the delivered material, move the limit switch assembly (1) upwards.

- To reduce the quantity of the delivered material, move the limit switch assembly (1) downwards.

- Tighten the lock screw (2) of the limit switch assembly (1).

Caution! When setting the conveyor limit switch, the engine of the machine may not be started.

There is a risk of burns when adjusting the limit switch. Use protective equipment when adjusting the limit switch.
