MHCP Primary Cleaner

Section 4 – Installation Instructions

7.  Centre the blades on the belt. 

Slide the pole until the blades 

are centreed or cover the belt’s 

material path (Fig. 7). NOTE: 

Standard blade coverage is 

belt width minus 150mm. If 

less blade coverage is required, 

single blades can be removed 

from the blade cartridge. 

The blades do not have to be 

centred in the cartridge. They 

should be centred on the belt’s 

material path.

8.  Lock the extender poles in the centre pole. Tighten the two locking bolts and jam nuts on each end of the centre 

pole (Fig. 8).

Install the tensioning system. For the PST Spring Tensioner go to step 9S. For the AWT Air/Water or PAT 

Tensioner proceed to step 9A.

9S.  Install the torque pivot rod. Remove the 

adjusting nuts and springs from the rods. 

The pivot rod base can be installed in any of 

the four mounting plate holes. Determine 

the rotation desired. Insert the pivot rod 

mounting bolt through the chute wall and 

the mounting plate and into the pivot rod 

base and tighten (Fig. 9S).  

10S. Slide the torque arm onto the pole end.  Again ensuring the 

correct pulling rotation, put the torque arm onto the pole end 

and rotate it around until the torque pivot rod slides through 

the slot (Fig. 10S).

11S. Reassemble the spring assembly. Slide the spring, washer and 

bushings onto the pivot rod and turn the two adjusting nuts 

so about 6mm of the rod is exposed above the nuts (Fig. 11S). 

Complete steps 9S through 11S on the other side.

12S. Tension the blades to the belt.  Rotate the blades until they contact the 

belt. While holding the spring bushing flat on the torque arm, rotate the 

torque arm until the pivot rod is against the end of the slot nearest the 

pole. Tighten the locking bolts and jam nuts on the torque arm (Fig. 12S). 

NOTE: The torque arm should be up against the mounting base.
