  1. Inspect each one of the waste and extended waste conveyors and make sure it is clear of any wedged offcuts or excess build-up.
  2. Using the Manual Mode window, run the waste conveyors forwards.

  3. Check the condition of the entire belt on each waste conveyor while it is running, watching for tears and frayed edges.

    Note: if the belt is damaged, it should be replaced during the service.

  4. Check the tracking of the belt, watching if it runs to one side of the rollers. If the tracking needs to be adjusted, follow the procedure below.

ClosedTracking
  1. Press the E‑stop button on the operator console.
  2. Extend the M8 tensioning bolts on the bearing blocks to make sure they are tight against the push blocks.
