Safety Considerations
Guards and Guarding
All LEWCO standard conveyor equipment is equipped with standard machine guarding methods. It is the responsibility of the owner, however, to ensure that proper guarding methods are present to comply with OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910.212 Machinery and Machine Guarding. Special consideration should be given to areas where multiple pieces of equipment interface. 1910.212(a) Machine guarding. 1910.212(a)(1) Types of guarding. One or more methods of machine guarding shall be provided to protect the operator and other employees in the machine area from hazards such as those created by point of operation, ingoing nip points, rotating parts, flying chips and sparks. Examples of guarding methods are barrier guards, two-hand tripping devices, electronic safety devices, etc. 1910.212(a)(2) General requirements for machine guards. Guards shall be affixed to the machine where possible and secured elsewhere if for any reason attachment to the machine is not possible. The guard shall be such that it does not offer an accident hazard in itself. 1910.212(a)(3) Point of operation guarding. 1910.212(a)(3)(i) Point of operation is the area on a machine where work is actually performed upon the material being processed. 1910.212(a)(3)(ii) The point of operation of machines whose operation exposes an employee to injury, shall be guarded. The guarding device shall be in conformity with any appropriate standards thereof, or, in the absence of applicable specific standards, shall be so designed and constructed as to prevent the operator from having any part of his body in the danger zone during the operating cycle. 1910.212(a)(3)(iii) Page 3
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Special hand tools for placing and removing material shall be such as to permit easy handling of material without the operator placing a hand in the danger zone. Such tools shall not be in lieu of other guarding required by this section, but can only be used to supplement protection provided.

Support Installation
Bolts for attaching the supports to the bed sections are shipped in a bag attached to the supports or in a separate box. Set the support height. Subtract frame height dimension from desired conveying surface. See Figure 2.1. Adjust the supports to this dimension by sliding inner and outer legs and tighten bolts. Supports should be located at ends of conveyor and centered under each splice on multi-piece conveyors (nominal 10 centers). If supports are located on nominal 5 centers, center additional supports midway between supports at splices.
Frame Height
Conveyor Set Up
Mark a chalk line on floor to locate center of the conveyor. Place the drive section in position. Install remaining sections in order. Conveyor sections have a section number label, which includes the Sales Order number, Line Item number, and Section Assembly number (last two digits). Conveyors made up of more than one section are to be assembled in ascending numerical order, starting with Section Assembly 01 at the product infeed end. Check that conveyor is level across both width and length of conveyor. Adjust supports if necessary. Check all bed sections for square. See Figure 3.1. Use a string stretched from opposing corners at edge of bed to aid in straightening conveyor. Ensure that both dimensions are the same. Adjust or shim supports as required. Both sides of the conveyor must be in the same plane (bed not twisted).
Tighten all butt couplings and support mounting bolts and lag conveyor to floor. Install chain and slats per the following instructions. Figure 3.1 Check the bed for square

Pre-Startup Checks
MOST speed reducers are shipped with oil, HOWEVER, DO check for proper oil level before operating the conveyor. CHECK FOR REDUCER VENT PLUG AND INSTALL IF NECESSARY. See Figure 5.1. To install, remove the solid plug and replace with vent plug. Remove drive chain guard and inspect drive chain and sprockets. Chain should have sag on the slack side per Figure 5.2. Measure the sag half way between the two sprockets. Sag should be or 2% of the sprocket center distance. Inspect drive sprocket and pulley set screws. These should be tight against the reducer and pulley shafts. Using a straight edge check to assure the sprockets are aligned by placing the straight edge flush against the sprocket flanges. Re-install chain guard after inspection

Maintenance
Effective operation and useful life of any equipment is directly related to the care and service it receives. A predetermined maintenance schedule, including inspection, lubrication and cleaning should be established for each conveyor. Establish and maintain Log Sheets on each conveyor to record date and results of inspections, lubrication, and parts replacements. General inspections of all conveyors should be performed at regular intervals depending on use and service conditions.
Maintenance Intervals
The following chart gives a brief overview of what maintenance should be performed on a periodic basis.
COMPONENT ACTION Check noise. Check temperature. Check mounting bolts. Check noise. Check temperature. Check oil level. Check tension. Lubricate. Check for wear. WEEKLY SCHEDULE MONTHLY QUARTERLY

Cleaning
Periodically remove drive chains and clean by immersing in solvent and scrubbing with a wire brush. Rinse thoroughly and re-lubricate. Verify proper chain tension. Clean chain box and keep free of all debris.
Troubleshooting
TROUBLE Conveyor does not start or motor stalls. Excessive wear on drive chain and/or sprockets. CAUSE Motor overloaded Motor drawing excessive current. Lack of lubrication. Sprockets out of alignment. Loose drive chain. Defective bearing. Loose drive sprocket set screw. Loose drive chain. Conveyor overloaded. Low voltage to motor. Reducer lubricant level low. Conveyor overloaded. Loose chain. SOLUTION Check conveyor loading against design parameters. Check circuit breaker. Lubricate chain. Align sprockets. Correct chain slack (See "Pre Startup Checks"). Replace bearing. Tighten sprocket set screws and check key. Correct chain slack (See "Pre Startup Checks"). Check conveyor loading against design parameters. Correct voltage level as stated on motor name plate. Fill reducer reservoir. Check conveyor loading against design parameters. Tighten chain. (See belt tensioning and adjustment section.)
Motor or reducer overheating. (Note: Many motors and reducers can be hot to the touch and still be operating within normal parameters.) Chain moves with jerky motion.
