NOTE
The chute wall on which the angular geared motor is installed is
designated in the following as the "operator side". The opposite
chute wall is referred to as the "opposite side".
The position of the axle and the tensioning device of the secondary
cleaner must be determined on both sides of the chute wall. In this
process, the positions are therefore determined for where the shaft
of the secondary cleaner is routed through the chute wall and/or
where the tensioner is installed on the chute wall.
The secondary cleaner is delivered jointly with a tensioner. This is
delivered as a work´s dismantled unit and will be installed together
with the secondary cleaner during the general installation.

Always remove any tools from the installation site and conveyor
belt upon completion of the installation work before switching on
the power supply.
NOTE
The angled gearbox motor must be checked at least once a
month for oil level, oil change, leaks, etc. Observe instructions in
the manufacturer documentation on maintenance intervals!
NOTE
The bearing of the angled gearbox motor must be checked at least
once a week for lubrication, damage, running performance, etc.

supplied with the device!
The bearings are lubricated for continuous operation, and relubrication is not absolutely necessary. The bearings may need to be
relubricated under extreme conditions such as high temperatures,
temperature fluctuations and high dust exposure.
For example, the grease Arcanol MULTI2 (lithium soap on mineral
oil basis, viscosity at 40 °C >= ISO VG 68 mm²/s) can be used for
relubrication. This grease is suitable for temperatures from -30 °C
to +120 °C, or 75 °C continuous temperature. Refer to the corresponding documentation of the pillow blocks for additional information.
Relubrication intervals and quantities need to be defined as needed. The manufacturer specifies 60,000 h for speeds under
200 rpm.
