CAUTIONS, WARNINGS AND HAZARDS
CAUTIONS, WARNINGS AND HAZARDSINTRODUCTIONThis manual was prepared as a “how-to-guide” for installers, end-users and maintenance personnel. It is also intended to educate both owner (purchaser) and all individuals working around the unit, of potential hazards.
With proper installation and maintenance, conveyors are essential for achieving a variety of functions essential in today’s industrial marketplace. By following a simple, periodic maintenance schedule, the life of a typical conveyor (or, most any type of machinery--including our automobiles!) will increase when compared to a similar
unit in an application receiving little or no maintenance. You may find that a conveyor can become your best workplace friend by following simple safety guide-lines. Failure to follow even the most basic safety suggestions can result in serious personal injury.
Conveyors contain many moving parts--pulleys, belting, chains, sprockets, shafts, rollers, etc. Therefore, it is imperative to become familiar with basic unit operation and know all points of potential hazards.
Remember, when working around or near conveyors (and any industrial machinery)
it is your responsibility to become familiar with the unit, to know potential hazards (many are noted with caution labels) and to operate unit in strict accordance with the safety guidelines in this manual.
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. It should be placed where appropriate personnel may maintain proper maintenance and records.
This manual must be read by all new users before operating or working near this unit.
DO NOT OPERATE BEFORE READING THIS MANUAL! KEEP IN SAFE PLACE--DO NOT DISCARD!
NEVER connect belt conveyors directly to gravity conveyors, machinery or fixtures without using connector brackets & pop out
roller.
ALWAYS anchor permanent supports to floor (or mounting surface). Use 3/8” x 2-1/2” (or longer) wedge anchors for
permanent installation in concrete flooring.
It is the responsibility of the customer and installation personnel to supply and install net or mesh guarding on overhead mounted
conveyors to prevent product and/or debris from falling to floor in areas where required.
If belt conveyor pulleys are adjusted during installation or maintenance, nip point guard (at drive end on end drive unit)
must be readjusted. Nip point guard (take-up end) is automatically adjusted when take-up pulley is adjusted. Nip point guards at both ends of conveyor (center drive) must be readjusted. Center drive guards MUST be replaced after installation or maintenance.
Before unit is ready for operation, snub roller guard (cover) must be adjusted to ensure safe unit operation.
Belt lacing must be kept in good condition for safe work environment.
To check drive sprocket alignment, shut “OFF” and lock out power source before attempting any adjustments.
To check drive sprocket tension, shut “OFF” and lock out power source before any adjustments are attempted.
Electrical controls must be designed by a qualified electrical engineer to ensure that appropriate safety features (emergency
stops, pull cords, switches, etc.) are installed on unit for safe operation. Before conveyor start-up, all operators and other personnel coming in contact with unit must be properly trained and must have read accompanying Tech Handbook.
Upon start-up, if belt tracks to one side, turn unit “OFF”, lock out power source and confirm that conveyor is square and that
all prime tracking components are square with bed. Belt tracking adjust-ments should be performed by trained personnel ONLY. Read section on “Belt Tracking” completely before attempting belt tracking adjustments.
Only trained personnel shall perform maintenance functions. Before maintenance operations are performed, shut conveyor
“OFF” and lock out power source to prevent unauthorized start-up. When maintenance is completed, only authorized personnel shall be permitted to start conveyor following maintenance or other emergency shut-off.

WARNING: All personnel coming in contact with this conveyor should be aware of the following safety guidelines BEFORE USING OR WORKING AROUND CONVEYOR. NOTE: ALWAYS notify Roach Manufacturing® whenever any conveyor is used in an application or condition other than was originally intended. Failure to notify Roach® may allow conveyor to be operated in a hazardous operating condition. Injuries resulting from negligence or violation of safety instructions hereby removes responsibility of product liability claims from Roach®.
Do not operate conveyor with protective guards removed. This
includes chain guards, belt guards, snub roller guards, center drive guards and any other safety guard.
Do not walk, ride, climb, or touch moving parts on a conveyor in
operation.
Do not wear loose clothing or uncovered hair around conveyor.
Do not work near conveyor without knowing how & where to shut power
“OFF” and lock out power source.
Do not remove jammed product with conveyor running.
Do not replace parts or perform maintenance on conveyor, or moving
conveyor parts, without first shutting “OFF” power to conveyor and locking out power source.
Do not connect gravity to powered conveyor without safety gravity
connector brackets.
To prevent electrical shock, conveyor must be grounded, and have proper
electrical connections in accordance with federal, state, and local codes.
Safety pop out rollers in conveyors installed above 7’-0” elevation must
be retained by guard rail, clips, etc. Safety
pop out rollers must be allowed to pop out when conveyors are installed at or below 7’-0” elevation.
It is the responsibility of conveyor end-user to comply with all safety
standards including OSHA and other federal, state, and local codes or regulations. Install protective guarding and other related safety precautionary equipment to eliminate hazardous operating conditions which may exist when two or more vendors supply machinery for related use.
Any violation of above safety instructions hereby removes all
product liability claims from Roach Manufacturing Corporation®.
Always use gravity connector bracket with pop out roller (see illustration above) to permanently attach any gravity conveyor to power conveyor. Never connect powered conveyors directly to gravity conveyors without using connector brackets with pop out roller.
This simple connection eliminates hazard-ous pinch points that would otherwise exist
by attaching a gravity conveyor directly to a powered belt unit.
Connector Brackets are supplied as an optional component for the 450BOS and are featured in Roach product booklets.
Although these units may not have been originally required for unit application, they are readily available.
Contact any Roach distributor (check local yellow pages) or contact factory at 870-483-7631 to find the nearest dealer in your area (fax request for safety connector brackets to 870-483-7049).

RECEIVING AND INSPECTIONSHORTAGES, DAMAGES AND RETURN AUTHORIZATIONS 5
UNCRATING AND STORAGE
ILLUS. A
NOTE: Do not return goods to factory without prior, written return authorization. Unauthorized returns are subject to refusal at factory.
NOTE: Never store belt placed directly on floor. Elevate belting to prevent contact with floor moisture.
Before uncrating, check the quantity of items received against bill of lading to confirm that all material has been received. Examine the condition of the equipment to determine if any damage has occurred.
Also, it is possible that some items may become separated from the original ship-ment. Therefore, when receiving goods, it is imperative that the bill of lading (or,
accompanying freight documentation) be checked to ensure receipt of ALL units ordered including ALL accessories.
Damage and/or shortage in shipment should be reported immediately to both vendor and carrier. Obtain a signed damage report from carrier agent and send copy to vendor. Do not repair any damage before obtaining this report.
For damaged shipments, consult factory to determine if entire shipment must be returned to factory for repair or if an immediate order should enter production to produce a new, replacement shipment.
In illustration A above, model 700SB is shown palletized with belting and return rollers for all bed sections mounted to top of crate which is prepared for shipment.
INCORRECT STORAGE CORRECT STORAGE
After receipt and initial inspection is completed, carefully remove crating and look for essential components and specific accessories that may have been boxed and attached (or ‘banded’) to crating material. Safety pop out rollers, guard rails and hardware are often packaged and shipped in this manner. Save all hardware for sub-sequent use by installation personnel.
The drive section will be shipped mounted to its actual operating bed section (see illustration at top of page). Intermediate bed sections are shipped mounted on top of drive bed section with formed steel stiff-ener (spacer) brackets.
Belting must be housed in dry quarters. Do not store belt on edge (see illustration above). Also, never store belt placed
directly on floor. Elevate belting to prevent contact with floor moisture.
Some items (electric motors, gearbox, etc.) may be shipped direct from their manufacturer to final destination. Thus, the conveyor may consist of two or more separate shipments.
GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATIONATTACHING BED SECTIONS
COUPLINGS AND UNIT SQUARENESS
Use mechanical hoist (fork truck or other available means) to raise bed sections to approximate installed elevation. Mate intermediate sections with either butt couplings or splice plates to join bed sections (see illustration above).
One of the most critical elements of proper installation is unit squareness. Check drive pulley, tail pulley, snub roller (if used in
drive assembly) and return roller assem-blies to ensure these components are square with unit bed (see ‘Belt Tracking’ section later in handbook for detailed information).
The unit must be installed at level eleva-tion across the width to prevent erratic belt tracking.
6
SPLICE PLATE(MODEL 700SB/700BSB/450BOS)
NOTE: One of the most critical elements of proper installation is unit squareness. Check pulleys, snub and return rollers and square each with unit bed.
NOTE: It is critical for bed sections to be field assembled in proper sequence following bed section labels.
When preparing to install conveyor, first locate all component sections in the actual installation area. After uncrating, place unit bed sections conveying side up. Each bed section is marked to indicate proper sequence for mating (see illustration above for typical bed section labels).
It is critical for bed sections to be field assembled in proper sequence following
bed section labels. Refer to bed section drawing for location of supports and assemble as shown.
Conveyors are set up at the factory, bed section labels are applied, unit is test run and receives rigorous quality assurance inspection. At this time unit becomes field-ready. Therefore, it is critical that field installation personnel re-assemble unit
by mating beds in accordance with bed section labels (and bed section drawing).
Create a reference base line on floor by marking a chalk line along the centerline of conveyor. Follow base line when installing unit.

INSTALLATION OF SUPPORTSIDENTIFYING/INSTALLING PERMANENT FLOOR SUPPORTS 7
NOTE: Install knee brace (when sup-plied) after final permanent support instal-lation and elevation adjustment.
Permanent supports may be installed on conveyors at various locations. However, it is most common to use single tier per-manent floor supports at each end of a powered section (see illustration A above) and where intermediate bed sections are adjoined (see illustration B above). Notice intermediate supports have two lag bolts in a diagonal pattern while end (terminal) supports have four lag bolts, one in each
of the four foot plate mounting holes.
When two (or more) powered conveyors are placed end-to-end, a single tier permanent support may be used at the end junction commonly supporting both units. Check load rating of support before using this method of installation.
Adjust elevation to top of conveyor by loosening bolts in support uprights, raising
or lowering conveyor and fully tighten-ing bolts at desired elevation. Tighten all bolts in supports before unit operation. Complete support installation by lagging support attachment plates to floor. Confirm that unit is level across width of conveyor before completing final support height adj.
*Supports are normally shipped at minimum support height. See chart above.
Knee braces add strength to permanent supports and stability to units in portable applications. Install knee brace (when supplied) after final permanent support installation and elevation adjustment. Its pivot bracket is bolted to underneath side of lower conveyor flange and slotted end is attached to outer side of support.
Casters (when requested) are generally
installed at the factory. However, when receiving casters direct from their supplier, final attachment to support is necessary. A special slotted pre-punched caster attachment plate is supplied on supports designed for casters.
A standard support is not designed for attachment to casters. Field modification or replacement of outside support assemblies is required.

CEILING HANGERS AND UNDERTRUSSINGINSTALLATION OF CEILING HANGERS 8
Ceiling hangers are frequently used in high-elevation applications for suspension from ceiling. The 5/8” diameter (#11 UNC) all threaded rod is supplied to allow infinite vertical adjustment along the length of the suspension rod (see illustration above).
Attach and firmly tighten U-shaped retainer (“hat”) bracket to underneath side of lower
conveyor flange with hardware provided to hold cross pipe (1” inside diameter) against underneath side of conveyor.
Do not tighten cross pipe locking bolts (these attach in the bottom of the U-shaped retainer bracket) until threaded suspension rods have been firmly secured to ceiling structure.
To adjust conveyor elevation, tighten or
loosen lower nut and jam nut on threaded suspension rods to desired elevation. A lock washer must be used on suspension rods to maintain unit at desired elevation.
When unit is at operating elevation and unit has been levelled across bed width, tighten locking bolts in U-shaped bracket to secure position of cross pipe.
It is the responsibility of the customer and installation personnel to supply and install net or mesh guarding on conveyors mounted overhead to prevent product and/or debris from falling to floor in areas where required.

Polytier supports provide convenient installation method for two or more tiers of conveyor. To install, raise conveyor to desired elevation (approximate). Place 1” inside diameter cross pipe underneath lower conveyor flange. Attach cross pipe to upright legs. Use U-shaped retainer (“hat”) bracket to connect cross pipe to lower conveyor flange. Do not tighten
fully at this time.
There are two styles of attachment brackets available for use with polytier supports. Minimum elevation style (see TYPE “0”, illustration above) offers lowest unit eleva-tion, 0” + frame depth utilizing L-shaped mounting bracket. Standard elevation style offers unit elevation of 3-1/2” + frame
depth and includes bracket welded to cross pipe which is bolted to upright legs during installation.
When unit is at operating elevation and unit has been checked across width for level, tighten locking bolts in U-shaped bracket. Add knee braces for unit rigidity.

Nose-over assemblies may be supplied (optional) when slider bed belt conveyors are inclined or declined to ease the transi-tion from inclined to horizontal. A single nose-over assembly consists of one set of nose-over brackets with carrier roller, one snub roller with snub roller guard and attachment bracket. A double nose-over
assembly includes one additional set of nose-over brackets and carrier roller.
Nose-over brackets and rollers are installed at the factory but before unit is ready for operation, final adjustment of snub roller guard is required to ensure safe unit oper-ation. Snub roller guard (cover) should be
set (see illustration above) with 1/4” belt clearance between bottom of belt and top of guard, both sides of guard, during final installation.
Before unit is ready for operation, snub roller guard (cover) must be adjusted to ensure safe unit operation.
INSTALLATION OF BELTINGBELT CONNECTIONS
MAINTAINING PROPER BELT TENSION
Maintaining proper belt tension is vital to unit operation. Enough tension should be maintained so that drive pulley does not slip under unit fully loaded conditions.
It is perfectly normal for a belt to stretch (in varying climatic conditions) under rated loading. Therefore, a short belt insert or “belt patch” (or patches) is provided for future removal when belting has stretched
beyond means of conveyor take-up assem-bly. For yet additional belt take-up, the belt should be cut and re-laced to maintain proper belt tension.
To adjust conveyor take-up, adjust posi-tion of take-up rod (see illustration above) as required. Remember to equally adjust both sides to hold take-up pulley square (to maintain unit squareness for belt tracking).
Operating unit with slipping belt will decrease life of both belting and pulley lagging. Also, do not operate unit with too much tension on belt. This will decrease belt life and may harm unit drive and take-up bearings. Over tensioning belt requires additional horsepower from unit drive.
10
TAKE-UP ROD MAKE ADJUSTMENTS HERE
Conveyor belting is cut to proper length, laced and assembled on conveyor at the factory. It is test run and inspected before it is shipped to its final destination.
Before field installation of belting, it is critical to determine the correct side to be placed down. One of the most common problems associated with belt installation involves placing the incorrect side down.
PVC belting is most commonly supplied as “COS” (cover one side). The opposite side, or side to be placed down, is a friction sur-face for decreased friction and improved conveyability. The friction side appears dull and grainy. ALWAYS place this side down against the conveyor bed. The cover side is darker and shiny.
If unit is shipped “knocked down,” belt
must be re-threaded on unit during instal-lation. (See opposite page for proper belt paths.) Join ends of belt as shown in illustration above with lacing pin. Loosen threaded take-up rods (if necessary) at take-up pulley equal amount on both sides and re-adjust when belt is installed keeping pulley square with conveyor bed. A belt puller can also be used to join belting.

DRIVE CHAIN AND SPROCKET TENSION
Maintaining proper chain tension is especially important. Again, a periodic visual inspection is recommended to ensure chain tension within a pre-deter-mined operating range.
Remember, before any adjustments are attempted, conveyor must be shut “OFF” and power source locked out.
Before replacing chain guard cover, check
to see if drive chain is operating within 1/2” range (see above illustration). If unit is out of tolerance, adjustment is necessary.
To adjust drive chain tension, tensioner bolt located on reducer push plate should be tightened (rotate clockwise) if chain tension is loose. Tighten until proper operating range is achieved. If chain tension is too tight, loosen tensioner bolt (rotate counter-
clockwise) as required. When adjustment is complete replace chain guard cover.
WARNING: Do not operate unit until chain guard cover is replaced. Serious operator or other personal injury could result if protective guarding is not replaced.

Set up and maintenance of drive sprocket and drive chain alignment is critical. A periodic visual inspection is recommended to confirm alignment of drive components (which includes both drive sprockets and drive chain). Should set screws become loose, drive sprockets are subject to excessive wear and ultimately, to untimely replacement.
To check drive sprocket alignment, it is imperative that conveyor is shut “OFF” and power source is locked out before any adjustments are attempted. Remove chain guard cover and place straight-edge (see illustration above) across face of both drive sprockets. If re-alignment is neces-sary, loosen set screws and adjust drive
sprockets as required. Remember to securely tighten set screws when align-ment is complete.
Before replacing chain guard cover, check drive chain tension as described in following section, “Drive Chain and Sprocket Tension.”

PREPARING FOR INITIAL START-UP
Before conveyor start-up, all operators and other personnel coming in contact with unit must be properly trained and must have read accompanying Tech Handbook.
Provisions must be in order to instruct all personnel coming in contact with conveyor on the location of emergency stops, pull cords, etc.
A routine maintenance program should
be implemented before unit is placed into operation so that fundamental unit compo-nents are attended to. This maintenance program should include an inspection to ensure that any dangerous or hazard-ous operating conditions are noted and IMMEDIATELY corrected, as well as includ-ing electrical and mechanical unit inspec-tions and corrections.
Finally, when conveyor is initially started, an immediate visual inspection should include motor, gear reducer, belt tracking (discussed in following section under “Belt Tracking”) and related adjustments noted in handbook for unit/component correc-tions.
WARN ALL PERSONNEL TO KEEP CLEAR OF CONVEYOR DURING UNIT START-UP
Electrical controls must be designed by a qualified electrical engineer to ensure that appropriate safety features (emergency stops, pull cords, switches, etc.) are installed on unit for safe operation. Before conveyor start-up, all operators and other personnel coming in contact with unit must be properly trained and must have read accompanying Tech Handbook.

BELT TRACKINGGENERAL INFORMATION 14
SKEWING RETURN ROLLERS
REMOVE BELT PATCH
Upon initial use the belting will stretch after a few days of operation. Remember that maintaining proper belt tension is a crucial element in belt tracking. Therefore, this stretching of a belt when placed into operation may affect its ability to track. Adjustment of the take-up pulley will likely adequately compensate for initial stretch. However, depending on the overall unit
length, removal of a belt patch may be necessary to correct.
Belt must be tracked in both unloaded and loaded situations. The return direction of the belt must clear supports, ceiling hang-ers, floor openings, etc. Dragging on such components will contribute to belt tracking problems and is certain to damage belting at extended intervals.
In a reversible application, a belt that runs off to one side in one direction will likely run off to the other side when operated in the opposite direction. Do not allow belt to rub against side of conveyor frame, which will surely damage belt.
ADJUST HERE
One of the most common and productive means to track conveyor belting is to skew rollers. Do not excessively skew return rollers simply to track belt. Excess skewing of rollers, which may cause belt to bow and may force belt to rub on side frame causing belt damage, usually will not completely solve belt tracking problems.
To adjust return rollers, simply loosen attachment bolt that secures bracket to the side of the conveyor (see illustration above). Move bracket to skew return roller assemblies (as noted in Advanced Tracking Adjustments later in manual). Remember to make adjustments in SMALL increments.
When adjustment is complete, tighten bolt firmly securing return roller bracket to the side of the conveyor.
Upon initial operation the belt will stretch. To maintain proper belt tension, adjustment of take-up pulley or removal of belt patch will be required. ONLY trained personnel should make belt tracking adjustments.
ONLY trained personnel should make belt tracking adjustments. Shut unit “OFF” and lock out power source before attempting adjustments in belt tracking.
BELT TRACKINGERRATIC TRACKING AT START-UP
ADVANCED TRACKING ADJUSTMENTS
When adjustments noted in section above have been completed and belt continues to track erratically, a second series of tracking adjustments are necessary.
First, determine the infeed and discharge ends of the conveyor. The following adjustments will be made with the infeed end as the reference point.
If belt tracks toward side “R” (see illustra-
tion above), skew return rollers in direction “B” to shift belting toward side “L”. If belt tracks toward side “L”, skew return rollers in direction “A” to shift belting toward side “R”.
Skewing head pulley (pulley at unit dis-charge) in direction “A” moves belt toward side “L”. Skewing head pulley in direction “B” moves belt toward side “R”.
As a rule of thumb, do not use drive and take-up pulley for belt tracking since this will overly increase belt tension. When adjusting take-up pulley, adjust both sides an equal amount.
As a last resort, shift the tail pulley in direction “B” to move belting toward side “L”; shift head pulley in direction “A” to move belting toward side “L”.

*NOTE: When making adjustments in direction “A” or direction “B”, component must pivot from side “L” with actual component movement on side “R”.
Improper tracking of conveyor belting should be considered a “systems” problem rather than solely a deficiency in the belt. To explain, a belt is tracked with adjust-ments made in the system or entire con-veyor rather than just the belting.
Upon start-up, if belt tracks to one side of unit, turn unit “OFF”, lock out power source and confirm that conveyor is square. All
prime tracking components must be square with bed including drive pulley, tail pulley, snub roller and return rollers. Both sides of take-up should be adjusted exactly the same amount. The conveyor should be level across the width of the unit. Confirm that the belt has been properly threaded (see “Belt Path” section) and that belt lac-ing is square with the belt edges. Make
adjustments as necessary; however, all adjustments should be made in small incre-ments.
Start conveyor again and operate for at least ten minutes once initial phase of adjustments are complete. If belt continues to track erratically, turn unit “OFF” before belt is allowed to run so far off center that it rubs side of conveyor.
CHECK LEVEL ACROSS WIDTH OF UNIT
Belt tracking adjustments should be per-formed by trained personnel ONLY. Read section on “Belt Tracking” completely before attempting belt tracking adjustments.
Upon start-up, if belt tracks to one side of unit, turn unit “OFF”, lock out power source and confirm that conveyor is square and that all prime tracking components are square with bed. Belt tracking adjustments should be performed by trained personnel ONLY.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONSBEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE 16
MAINTENANCE AND FOLLOW-UP DETAILS
While performing maintenance do not wear loose clothing. Immediately report any hazardous conditions--sharp edges, pinch (or nip) points or other conditions that may result when several manufacturers supply machinery which may create operating hazards.
When using mechanical aids such as hoists, cables, or cranes exercise extreme caution to prevent damage to conveyors or other integrated machinery which may create a working hazard when maintenance is completed and units are in operation.
Clean up any spilled lubricants or other materials used in the maintenance process or those which may be deposited during unit operation. Eliminating poor housekeeping practices increases unit efficiency while creating safer personnel working conditions.
After maintenance, conduct visual inspection to ensure that all
safety devices and guards have been replaced. Confirm that all units are clear of tools, debris or other items. Before starting conveyor, check condition of conveyor warning labels (see “WARNING LABELS” at front of handbook). If labels have been destroyed or are not clearly legible, call 870.483.7631 to receive replacement labels. Placement of warning labels is critical to avoid unauthorized unit operation which may result in hazardous working conditions for all related personnel coming in contact with conveyor.
Warn personnel that conveyor is being prepared for start-up and to stay clear of unit. Do not start conveyor until all personnel are clear. When maintenance is completed, only authorized personnel shall be permitted to start conveyor following maintenance or other emergency shut-off.
One of the most important guidelines for maximizing conveyor operation and personnel safety is to implement a regular mainte-nance schedule and train personnel on the appropriate needs of the specific unit.
Only trained personnel shall perform maintenance functions. Before maintenance operations are performed, conveyor must be shut “OFF” and disconnects locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unit from unauthorized start-up during maintenance. All personnel should be informed of the safety procedures associated with unit maintenance and performance.
Do not perform any work on conveyors or conveyor system while in operation unless it is impossible to otherwise conduct adjustment, lubrication or other maintenance function. Only experienced, trained personnel possessing advanced hazards-training should attempt such critical operations.
Only trained personnel shall perform maintenance functions. Before maintenance operations are performed, conveyor must be shut “OFF” and disconnects locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unit from unauthorized start-up.
Only trained personnel shall perform maintenance functions. When maintenance is completed, only authorized personnel shall be permitted to start conveyor following maintenance or other emergency shut-off.
