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.
