Cut Out Discharge Hole in Trough Bottom
1. T o find where to cut hole in trough bottom, start by locating the center of the purposed discharge.
Dimension “A”. (Refer to Figure 1.)
2. When locating discharges try to position opening so that gate flange hole pattern and conveyor
hole pattern lineup. The gate has slotted holes to allow for adjustment to nearest 1".
3. If this cannot be achieved then holes must be drilled on site.
4. Find dimensions “B” and “C” corresponding to your conveyor size. Use “D” dimensions as a
reference. (See Figure 1 and chart below.)
5. Mark the cut out from outside the conveyor on the trough bottom.
6. Cut opening into the bottom being careful not to damage other components of the Conveyor .
Remove all burrs and rough edges from the opening.

Manual Gate Installation
Manually Operated Gate
1. Install the specified wheel to the shaft by aligning the key and key way , then tighten the set
screw. This gate can be operated by a chain, cable, or hand wheel.
2. Manual gates up to 16" wide are fitted with a single rack. Manual gates larger than 16" wide
have a double rack.
3. The slide gate plate rides on 1-3/8" double shielded radial bearings for smooth operation.

attach the motor to the bracket as shown
in Figure 3, using the provided hardware.
Install Limit Switch
1. Using limit switches that are available in
Nema 4 or explosion proof standards,
achieves accurate positioning of these
gates. Limit Switches are located on both
sides of the frame to detect when the gate
is totally open or closed.
2. Attach the switch brackets to the inside of
the gate as shown using hardware
provided. (See Figure 4.) Att ach limit
switch to the bracket as shown. (See
Figure 5.)
3. After switches are securely fastened.
Adjust lever arms so they come in contact
with tripper blocks on underneath side of
slide plate.
4. Disconnect the power at the electrical
panel, run the proper gauge electrical wire
to the motors and limit switches. (See
Wiring Diagram on page 9.) Be sure that
the limit switches are adjusted
properly before operating the gate!
Turn the power back on and CAUTIOUSL Y
operate the gate, opening and closing the
gate slide, making the necessary
adjustments to the limit switch arms to
assure complete opening and closing of
