O PERATING T IPS • Direct the flow of material into the input hopper in the direction of the belt for the best capacity. • Attempting to move material at too steep an angle can result in excessive slide back and poor capacity. • Always listen for any unusual sounds or noises. If any are heard, stop the machine and determine the source. Correct the problem before resuming work. • Always close the hydraulic safety ball valve once t he machine is positioned. • Do not run the machine for long periods of time wit hout material on the belt- ing. It increases belt wear. • Do not support outlet end di rectly on the storage faci lity. Tie down the intake (hopper) or weigh it down to pr event upending. • To achieve maximum capaci ty, feed material onto bel t until material tube clearance is 1/2”; do not flood feed hopper. • On the PTO drive models , align the tractor axis wi th the coneyor input shaft to minimize the angles of the universal joints on the PTO driveline. Note: On the standard hop per conveyor, the best capacity is obtained when the material is loaded into the hopper as close to the tube as possible.

HYDRAULIC SAFETY • Always place all tractor hydraulic controls in ne utral before disconnecting from tractor or work ing on hydraulic system. • Make sure that all com ponents in the hydraulic syst em are kept in good con- dition and are clean. • Replace any worn, cu t, abraded, flattened, or crimped hoses. • Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings or hoses by using tape, clamps, or cements. T he hydraulic system operates under extremely high-pressure. Such repairs will fail suddenly an d create a hazard- ous and unsafe condition. • Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for a high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use a pi ece of wood or cardboard as a backstop instead of hands to isolate and identify a leak. • If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immediately. Seri- ous infection or toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic fluid piercing the skin surface. 2.5. STORAGE SAFETY • Store the unit in an area away from human activity. • Do not permit children to play on or around t he stored equipment. • Fully lower convey or before storing. 2.6. TIRE SAFETY • Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an explosion that may re sult in serious injury or death. • Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to do the job. • Have a qualified tire dealer or repair service perfor m required tire mainte- nance. • When replacing worn tires, make sure they meet the original tire specifica- tions. Never undersize t he replacement tire. • Do not weld to the tire rim with the ti re mounted on the rim. This action may cause an explosion which could resu lt in serious injury or death. • Inflate tires to the manufact urers's recommended pressure. 2.7. BATTERY SAFETY • Wear safety glasses when working near batteries.

Store them in an area protected from dust, moistu re, and other contaminants. 8.3.2. G REASING Note: Most original equipment bearings used by Batco ar e sealed units and will not accept grease. 1. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth bef ore greasing to avoi d injecting dirt and grit. 2. Replace and repair brok en fittings immediately. 3. If fittings will not take grease, remove and clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant passageway. Repl ace fitting if necessary. 8.3.3. C ONVEYOR B ELT T ENSION Adjusting your conveyor belt for proper tension helps to en sure trouble-free operation and long belt life. A conveyor be lt only needs to be tight enough to not slip on the drive roller. If the belt is too loose, it will s lip on the drive roller making a noticeable sound and slow ing the belt down. To co rrect belt slippage and set proper tension in the belt, follow the steps in the co rresponding section below. Important: If belt is slipping and adju stment bolts are fully ti ghtened, then belt must be shortened. See Section 8.3.7. Belt should not be easy to pull from the hopper trans ition sides, otherwise the belt will requir e tensioning.

D RIVE B ELT T ENSION & A LIGNMENT (G AS AND E LECTRIC D RIVE ) Power to the conveyor is transmitted through a set of v-belts. The drive system must be maintained at the proper belt tension and pulley alignment to obtain desired performance and life. When maintain ing the belt drive system follow the appropriate sections below. B ELT T ENSION 1. Push on the center of the belt span with a forc e of approximately 5 lb. 2. The belts will deflect approximately 1/4” to 1/ 2” when proper ly tensioned. 3. Move the motor base to set drive belt tension. 4. Close and secure guards. B ELT A LIGNMENT 1. Lay a straight edge ac ross the pulley faces to check the alignment. 2. Use the pulley hub to mo ve the pulley to the requi red position fo r alignment. 3. Tighten hub bolts to secure pulley on shaft. 4. Check belt tension. 5. Close and secure guards. B ELT R EPLACEMENT 1. Move motor base to its loosest position. 2. Remove old belts and replace with new one. 3. Check pulley alignmen t. Adjust if required. 4. Close and secure guards. 8.3.9. D RIVELINE S HIELD (PTO D RIVE ) 1. The shield must turn freely on the PT O shaft. Daily lubric ation of both shield bearings and periodic cleaning will ensu re safe operation of the shield. 2. If the shield is damaged or worn, replace the components. 8.3.10. T UBE A LIGNMENT C ABLE T RUSS 1. Loosen cable clamps on trusses. 2. Support spout end of unit.

PRE-TRANSPORT CHECKLIST Before transporting conveyor, ensure that: 1. Conveyor is in the fully lowered position. 2. Extendable axles are placed in trans port position (if equipped). Use jack to aid adjustment. 3. Attach conveyor to towing vehicle with a pin and retainer. Always attach safety chain(s). ̈ 4. On electric motor models , unplug the power cord, wrap ar ound frame, and secure to prevent dragging. ̈ 5. On PTO drive models , place the driveline in it s stowed position before moving or transporting. ̈ 6. For gas drive models , shut off fuel supply. 4.2. TRANSPORT PROCEDURE 1. Check with local authorities regardi ng conveyor transpor t on public roads. Obey all applicable laws and regulations. 2. Make sure the SMV (s low moving vehicle) emblem and all the lights and reflectors that are requ ired by the local highway and transport authorities are in place, are clean, and can be seen clearly by all overtaking and oncoming traffic. 3. Always use hazard warning flashers on tractor or towing vehicle when transporting unless prohibited by law. 4. Always travel at a safe speed. Use caution when turning corners or meeting traffic. 5. It is not recommended t hat the machine be trans ported faster than 20 mph (32 km/h). Table 4. 1 references the acceptable transport speed as per the ratio of tractor weight ve rsus conveyor weight. See “Appendix” on page 47 for conveyor weights Warning: Before continuing, please rer ead the safety information rele vant to this section at the beginning of this m anual. Failure to follow the safety in structions can re sult in serious injury, death, or property damage. CAUTION It may be necessary to raise the outlet end above the storage facility to provide clearance to raise the intake end.

Reduce engine speed to low idle. 3. Disengage belt drive; or di sengage electric clutch if unit is equipped with one. 4. Shut off engine. 6.2.4. E MERGENCY S HUTDOWN Although it is reco mmended that the tube be emptied before stopping, in an emergency situation, stop or shut down the power source immediately. Important: Lock out all power and ensure the mach ine components come to a stop before inspecting. Correct the emergency be fore resuming work. 6.2.5. R E - STARTING (F ULL T UBE ) When the machine is shut do wn inadvertently or for an emergency, t he tube will still be filled with material. Important: Since the start-up torque l oads are much higher than normal when the tube is full, restart at low idle engine speed for the PTO and gas engine models . It may be necessary to tighten the drive belts (Electric/Gas Mo dels) slightly to handle the heavier than norma l loads. (See 8.3.4.) 6.2.6. C ONVEYOR O PERATING A NGLES The coneyor lift can set the tube angle at any position between 12°and 30° when operating. Because the belt d oes not have roll back barrier s, the material will roll back if the angle is too st eep. Do not position the c onveyor at an angle steeper than the angle of repose of the material to be moved. See Section 10.2. for help on determining these angles. Note: The lower the angle, t he greater the capacity. 6.2.7. B ELT S PEED The best results are obtained when the input drives are set to provide a belt speed of 500 to 600 ft/min on the 1500 P series, and 600 to 650 on the 2000 P series. Count the number of belt revolutions per minute to determine belt speed. Approximate belt length is double the length of your machine plus 3’. See packing slip for belt lengths. Note: Use the connector splice as a refe rence when counting belt revolutions. Contact your dealer or the factory for the appropriat e drive components to give the recommended belt speed.
