Instructions for Installation
Hitch Guard Wide Flange V4 Bracket
(Kit 111565).
1. Identify horizontal transition and ensure
area where the bracket will be installed is clear
of obstructions. Measure the gap width and
trim the support bar as required, following
the procedures in X2927 and X3627.
2. Install plastic Hitch Guard segments along
the length of the support bar, trimming
segments as necessary. Insert each end of the
bar into a wide ange V4 bracket. Place the full
assembly into the gap, making sure everything
is properly aligned between the belts.
3. Identify the bracket holes to be used
for mounting and verify that there are no
interferences behind the structure. Use a
center punch to mark to holes and seat the
drill bit.
4. Drill the rst hole with a 1/8" (3.2mm)
drill bit. Fasten the bracket using at least two
self-tapping screws and hex head protector
washers. Grip round caps are optional. Repeat
for additional holes and opposite bracket.
5. Once at least four fasteners are in place
and nal clearance between belt and segment
is conrmed, tighten all fasteners until the
bracket seats tight against the conveyor
side wall. Refer to IOMs X2927 and X3627
to nish the installation, including adding
shims between backplate and inner mount as
required for vertical adjustment.
