PHYSICALLY LOCK OUT AND TAG THE CONVEYOR AT THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE YOU BEGIN SKIRT CLAMP INSTALLATION.
1. Determine the correct position for the clamp
pins on the skirt board. Measure the height of
the skirt material and add 1/4" (6mm). Using this
dimension measure from the belt’s surface up the
skirt board and make a mark (Fig. 1a). Repeat this
several times down the skirt board and draw a line
connecting the marks (Fig. 1b).
NOTE: If the gap between the skirt board and
the belt is greater than 1-1/4" (32mm), hold a
clamp plate up on the clamp pin to be sure the
1" x 1" angle will have the backing of the skirt
board to clamp the skirt material against. If not,
adjust the line for mounting the clamp pins
upward accordingly.

For best results:
• the belt should be supported directly under the skirt material.
• the clamps should be positioned so the skirt material meets the belt
2" to 3" (50-75mm) in from the belt’s edges.

2. Select the spots to weld the clamp pins. The
recommended positioning for the clamp pins is
1' (300mm) in from each end of the system and
spaced every 2' (600mm) down the line (Fig. 2). If an
obstruction prevents this positioning, move the clamp
pin as needed but do not space pins more than 2'
(600mm) apart. NOTE: Determine the best direction
the wedge in the clamp pin should be in for easy
access. Once the pin is welded to the skirt board
the wedge direction is xed.
4. Assemble the clamp plates and the 1" x 1" angle.
Slide the clamp plates over the clamp pins and mount
your 1" x 1" angle under the plates (Fig. 4).

3. Weld the clamp pins. Clean the surface of the skirt
board around the areas where the pins will be welded.
Weld the base of the pin securely since this is the main
support for the skirt clamp (Fig. 3). A 1/4" (6mm) weld
all the way around is recommended.
5. Position the skirt material (not included) between
the 1" x 1" angle and the skirt board. The skirt
material should be positioned to the top of the belt.
When in place, lock the clamps by hammering the
wedges on the clamp pins tight (Fig. 5). NOTE: A 1-lb.
hammer is recommended.
6. Fasten the clamp plates and the 1" x 1" angle
together. Tack weld the clamp plates and the 1" x 1"
angle together (Fig. 6). This will make it easy to do
future adjustment of the skirt material.
