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 rubber 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” (31mm), hold a
clamp plate up on the clamp pin to be sure the
clamp bar will have the backing of the skirt
board to clamp the skirt rubber against. If not,
adjust the line for mounting the clamp pins
upward accordingly.

2. Select the spots to weld the two clamp pins. The
optimum position for each clamp pin is 1’ (300mm) in
from each end of the 4’ (1200mm) clamp bar (Fig. 2).
If an obstruction prevents this positioning, move that
clamp pin as needed. NOTE: Determine the best di-
rection 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 clamp bar.
Slide the clamp plates over the clamp pins and mount
the clamp bar 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” weld all the
way around is recommended.
5. Position the skirt rubber (not included) between the
clamp bar and the skirt board. The skirt rubber 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 clamp bar together.
Tack weld the clamp plates and the clamp bar together
(Fig. 6). This will make it easy to do future adjustment of
the skirt rubber.
