Proper Carrier System Installation (continued)
When unpacking and installing or dismounting and packing a carrier system, always support the carrier system's weight evenly, taking care not to bridge spans greater than 10 feet unsupported, as well as not twist or distort the carrier’s linear configuration. Link disengagement, side chain band and/or frame stay damage can occur. If no flat operating surface exists below the carrier system to support it, a support tray should be used. This tray should be installed in alignment with the total machine travel. If the system is self- supporting, this tray should run from the fixed-end location to the end of the carrier loop when fully retracted. If the system is not self-supporting, a KabelSchlepp designed guide channel should be used to fully support and guide the carrier over the entire length of travel.
When installing the mounting brackets, take care that each bracket (especially when each end has two pieces, a left and right side) is properly positioned in direct alignment with the overall carrier system. Misalignment here will cause premature failures.
The driven end of the carrier system should always be correctly aligned above or below the fixed- point location to operate correctly.
Once the carrier system is positioned correctly, snugly fasten the mounting brackets to their respective moving (drive arm) and non-moving locations on the machinery with properly sized bolts (furnished by customer).
After the carrier system is properly installed onto the machinery and likewise the cables and/ or hoses installed within the carrier system, the entire system should be initially run-off at slow speed to insure that everything runs freely and smoothly without the carrier, cables and/or hoses binding. Any adjustments to the carrier position or alignment as well as cable and/or hose position and length should be done at this time.
Once the entire system is double checked, everything should be firmly tightened down.
Only after this installation and double check procedure is completed should machinery be powered up to full speed and duty cycle.
