Series 2 Chain Conveyors Options
Set the torque arm bracket in place and attach with
the 5/8” hardware previously removed from the
bottom plate of the conveyor. Four (4) 5/8” bolts
and nuts are required to fasten the torque arm
bracket to the conveyor.
Install shaft mount reducer to head shaft per in-
structions on page 14.
Next, match the size of the hardware to the reducer
manufacturer’s torque arm. Use this hardware to at-
tach the torque arm to the bracket. Adequately tighten
all hardware.
When a drive package is ordered with the conveyor
system, a torque arm bracket is provided.
The torque arm bracket is pre-punched for ease of
installation to the unit. Begin installation of this
option by first determining the location of the torque
arm bracket relative to the range of extension al-
lowed by the shaft mount reducer’s torque arm. The
bracket will extend on the same side of the con-
veyor as the head shaft. Remove the 5/8” bolts nec-
essary from the bottom of the conveyor head bot-
tom plate.

Inspection Ports
After determining location(s) for the inspection
port(s) on conveyor, cut an 11-3/4” square hole in
the cover for each inspection port. Cut the square
opening so that it is centered over the peak of the
conveyor cover. Position the inspection port over the square hole
until its frame is flush to the cover. Weld inspec-
tion port to conveyor cover. Additional caulking
may be required so that water will shed from the
inspection port.
