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.
Note: Temporary flat roll at bend point, as roll is pulled onto troughing idlers.
