PASSAGEWAY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The layout of the nest system has been designed for your specific requirements. Follow it to assure allcomponents are correctly placed.

It is essential the sections be properly aligned and leveled to allow free movement of the conveyor belt.

The lap and splice of the belt must be so directed to avoid it catching on the supporting structure. The double nest sections are to be connected together, or to the conveyor passage, by the connectorbrackets on the conveyor trays and top.

Attach passageway to nest brackets using rivets. Agile Engineering recommends placing rivets asshown.

Do not rivet this hole.
