3U. Install the cleaner pole into the slider plates.
a. Set pole ends into slider plate on both sides (Fig. 3Ua).
b. Slide pole bearings onto both ends of the pole with flange facing away from the belt (Fig. 3Ub).
c. Slide stop collar onto both ends of the pole (Fig. 3Ub). Do not tighten at this time.
d. Slide torque arms onto both ends of pole and attach both pivot shaft brackets to slider plates (Fig. 3Ub).
Blade and torque arm must face either in the direction of belt travel (Fig. 3Uc), or if clearance is an issue,
switch to rotated tensioner configuration and assemble as shown (Fig. 3Ud).
e. Move slider plate to bottom of bracket to allow blade to rotate up into position in the next steps.

2U. Install mounting brackets.
a. Using a level, lightly raise return side belt (take out cupping or sagging on edges) to find belt's true parallel path to
the structure; and mark reference point #1 on structure. Measure down 75mm (3”) from reference point #1 and
mark reference point #2 (Fig. 2Ua). Make sure brackets are the same distance away from head pulley or a reference
point on both sides of the structure. If there is no structure to mount to, install mounting bracket kit first.
b. Position mounting brackets so centerline marks on brackets are in line with reference points #2 on the structure
(Fig. 2Ub).
c. Clamp or weld into position.

UST Tensioner Instructions
1. Choose conveyor location where cleaner will be installed.
The U-Type may be positioned at any spot from where belt leaves head pulley on down the conveyor line (see
positions A to B). If a chute area is too small due to a snub pulley, it may be necessary to mount cleaner behind
chute (see position C). In chute applications a minimum of 150-200mm (6”-8”) is required between cleaner and
chute wall to prevent clogging of material.
NOTE: For U-Type cleaners using UST Tensioners, proceed to Steps 2U - 7U.
For U-Types using J-Bolt Tensioners, skip ahead to Steps 2J - 8J on Page 10.
