Nut, Screw, Washer Replacement 

Tools and Parts required:  ½” wrench, 7/16” wrench, hex shoulder screw, ¼‐20 hex dimple nut, and a 
spring washer. 
 

1.

 

Extend the conveyor to its fully open position. Remove 
and discard the old nut, screw, and spring washer. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

2.

 

Put  the  spring  washer  on  the  screw  and  insert  the 
screw through both side link holes.  

NOTE: The spring washer (1) must be between the screw 
hex head (2) and the side link (3) as shown at right. 
 
 

3.

 

Thread a new nut onto the screw.  Hold the screw 
with the ½” wrench and tighten the nut (4), using the 
7/16” wrench.  Tighten to 70‐80 lb‐in (7.9 – 9.0 N‐m). 

 
 
 
 
Shaft Replacement

 

Tools and Parts Required:  Two ½” wrenches, a nylon lock nut, and a new shaft 
 
 

NOTE: Some shafts may pass through other components, such as washers and spacers.  Before removing 
a shaft, make a note of the position of any such components. During reassembly, return these pieces to 
their proper position to ensure the structural integrity and functionality of the conveyor. 

 

1.

 

With the conveyor in the fully contracted position, use 
the wrenches to remove and discard the nylon lock nut. 
 

2.

 

Using the replacement shaft as a driver, carefully push 
out  and  remove  the  damaged  shaft.  The  replacement 
shaft  should  now  pass  through  all  of  the  washers, 
spacers, skate wheels, and links in their proper position. 
 

3.

 

Install a new lock nut to complete the process.
