4. Reset the correct blade tension. Refer to the chart for
the spring length required for the belt width. Lightly
pull the pivot arm toward the end of the torque arm
slot nearest the pole and turn the adjusting nuts until
the required spring length is achieved.
Test run the cleaner. Run the
conveyor for at least 15 minutes
and inspect the cleaning
performance. Check the spring
length for proper tensioning.
Make adjustments as necessary.
3. Install the new tips. Locate each tip onto each
suspension arm, then install the hardware to fasten
the tip to the cushion (Fig. 3).
