Installation
The relative position of the top and bottom covers or surfaces of the belt
should be considered when positioning the roll for threading. Once the
roll of belting has been transported to the point of installation, it should be
mounted on a suitable shaft for unrolling and threading onto the conveyor.
Conveyor belting is normally rolled at the factory with the carrying side out.
Consequently, in mounting the roll, the belt must lead off the top of the roll
if it is being pulled onto the troughing or carrying idlers, but off the bottom
of the roll if it is being pulled onto the return idlers. When pulling the belt
onto the conveyor, the roll will turn opposite the direction indicated by the
arrows on the crate.
Fig. 2 illustrates a suitable method of mounting, as
well as leading off the top of the roll for pulling onto the troughing idlers.
