LOADER INSTALLATION
6"
Fixed Skirt Loader
Swing-Up Skirt Loader
1. The fixed skirt loader always attaches at the
tail end so no cover modifications should be
necessary. The soft rubber skirts are adjust-
able and can be set to lightly touch the con-
veyor belt.
1. If the loader doesn’t line up exactly with an
intermediate cover, the intermediate covers
will need to be cut to fit. If this is necessary,
properly position loader and cut a section
from the covers so they will fit between the
cover channel bolted to next section and the
loader flange. Weld cover back together to
achieve required length. Repaint welded
area to prevent rusting.
2. The UHMW swing-up skirts should not touch
the conveyor belt as they can cause wear to
the belt. Use the adjustable set screws to
locate the position of the skirts.
REMOVE PAINT BEFORE
WELDING OR CUTTING
Avoid hazardous fumes that can be generated
when paint is heated by welding or torching.
Do all work outside or in a well ventilated
area. Dispose of paint and solvent properly.
Remove paint before welding or heating:
• If you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing
the dust. Wear an approved respirator.
• If you use solvent or paint stripper,
remove stripper with soap and water
before welding. Remove solvent or strip
per containers and other flammable
material from area. Allow fumes to
disperse at least 15 minutes before
welding or heating.
