1. Prepare the conveyor site:
• Identify the point(s) of mistracking, expecting 120' - 150'
(36-45M) of downstream inuence.
• Position the unit 20' (66M)aer the start of the mistracking.
• Identify an opening of at least 31" (775mm) if possible to avoid
interference with sensor rollers during installation (Fig. 1).
• Remove old tracking devices.
Clearance
31" min
(775mm)
Physically lock out and tag the conveyor at the power source before you
begin cleaner installation.
CAUTION: Components may be heavy. Use safety-approved liing procedures.
6. Remove Roller by unbolting Roller Retainer (Fig. 6a). Determine orientation of trainer and remove far side
Extending Bracket (Fig. 6b).
7. Attach Extending Bracket and wire rope kit to mounting bracket already installed on far side of conveyor (Fig. 7).
Finger-tighten bolts for future adjustment. Top bolt holes should be even with the normal height of the belt.
8. Slide the far end of main frame onto the extending bracket assembled in Step 7 (Fig. 8).
9. Li near end of main frame and attach extending bracket and wire rope kit to mounting bracket (Fig. 9a). Ensure
main frame is centered on the Extending Brackets (equal length of extenders showing on both sides) (Fig. 9b).

10. Reinstall roller and re-bolt roller retainer (Fig. 10). Level the trainer to the belt using the U-Bolts/slots on wire rope
kit and tighten in place.
11. Lower the belt. Ensure belt completely contacts roller. Raise extending brackets and wire rope kit one hole if there
is not good contact (Fig. 9). Tighten all bolts.
12. Install sensor adjuster assemblies using included bolts. Ensure le and right assemblies are installed on the
correct sides.
13. Adjust sensor rollers so they are 1” (25mm) from the belt on each side. Adjust by loosening “A” and “B”
bolts (shown in Fig. 12), then turning the “C” bolts (Fig. 13).
14. Pivot the frame 1/2" to the side it is mistracking. Bring sensor roller in until it touches the belt. Move
opposite sensor roller out to 1" (25mm) from the belt (Fig 14). Tighten all bolts.
