P1512120 R3 496.7. Inspect Hydraulic Hoses and FittingsÆWhen equipped:1. Pressurize the system.2. Using a piece of cardboard or wood, run it along the length of the hose and around all fittings.Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure will cause serious injury if it penetrates the skinsurface.3. Replace the hose or tighten/replace the fitting if a leak is found.4. Replace any hose that is badly cut, nicked, abraded, or is separating from the crimped end of the fitting.5. Secure hoses to the machine.6.8. Inspect the Hopper FlashingCheck hopper flashing for wear and replace any that are worn. Worn flashing will cause hopper leakage.6.9. Check the Roller BearingsCheck roller bearings for wear. Any rollers making noise, getting hot while running, or that give should bereplaced.6.10. Check the Roller LaggingInspect roller lagging to see if it is showing signs of wear.Operating the conveyor with a damaged roller will result in a damaged conveyor belt.6.11. Tension the Conveyor BeltAdjusting your conveyor belt for proper tension helps to ensure trouble-free operation and long belt life.The conveyor belt only needs to be tight enough to not slip on the drive roller. If the belt is too loose, it will slipon the drive roller making a noticeable sound, slowing the belt down.The conveyor belt should not be easy to pull from the hopper transition sides, otherwise the belt will requiretensioning.Failure to stop using the conveyor with a slipping belt will damage it and/or the drive rollerlagging. In extreme cases, sections of burnt belt will have to be replaced. This type of damageis not covered by warranty.To set correct conveyor belt tension:1. While the conveyor is running empty, fully tighten the nut against the pretensioner (take-up pipe) so thatthe spring is not visible, see Figure 17 on page 50.2. Ensure the take-up roller is tensioned equally by using a tape measure to check the distance “X” on bothsides.PORTABLE GRAIN BELT CONVEYOR – S-DRIVE FIELD LOADER 6. MAINTENANCE
