Skatewheel Replacement
Tools and Parts required: ½” wrenches (2), nylon lock nut, skatewheel(s), and shaft.
1.
With the conveyor in the fully contracted position, use the wrenches to remove and discard the
nylon lock nut.
2.
Using the new shaft as a driver, carefully push out the existing shaft until the end of the new shaft
reaches the location of the damaged skatewheel. The new shaft should now pass through all of
the washers, spacers, skatewheels, and side links in their proper position up to the damaged
skatewheel.
3.
Pull the existing shaft out far enough to enable
removal of the damaged skatewheel.
4.
Insert the new skatewheel in the space left by the
removed, damaged skatewheel.
5.
Push the existing shaft back into its assembled position, driving the new shaft out of the conveyor.
6.
Install a new nylon lock nut to complete the process.
