The Stewart Glapat Telescoping Cantilevered Extendible Conveyor is shipped complete and ready for installation. The conveyor is shipped to provide adequate protection against loss of parts and physical damage during shipment. The packing techniques utilized are in accordance with the rules and regulations of carriers applicable to the mode of transportation.
A corrosion resistant, metal nameplate on the Conveyor indicates the name and address of the Conveyor manufacturer, the Stewart Glapat Corporation, as well as the information listed below. All the information is photoetched or stamped on the nameplate.

Remove any protective shipping material covers and all parts that may be lagged or bolted to the wooden skid or the side of the conveyor. Check conveyor for any possible freight damage before removing from the wooden skid. Move to installation location, being careful to lift or move conveyor only through the wooden skids provided on the base of the conveyor. Do not attempt to pull or lift the conveyor from other locations on the unit as damage may be the result of excessive stress to the conveyor
The site criteria and mounting requirements for the conveyor should be reviewed before further work is performed. Site criteria should be reviewed with the contractor concerning electrical hook-up and anchoring the conveyor.
Installation Description - Installation Procedure
(1) Move unit to final dock location and lift unit off wooden skids. Set unit on location. Note: To lift unit, completely span across the under side of the conveyor lifting as close to the center of the conveyor as possible. The conveyor should only be raised high enough to remove the skid.
(2) Locate unit in its proper location. Locate and drill for anchor bolt for holding conveyor in place. No smaller than 5/8" anchor bolts should be used. Chemically bonded anchors, such as manufactured by Hilte, are recommended.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE CONVEYOR UNLESS IT IS PROPERLY BOLTED DOWN. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD RESULT
(3) If conveyor is a traversing type unit, set unit on its track and assemble holddown device. (See installation instructions for location of holddown device.)
CAUTION:DO NOT OPERATE CONVEYOR UNLESS HOLDDOWN DEVICE IS PROPERLY INSTALLED. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD RESULT.
Connect to 3- phase power source. Depending on voltage, make sure proper size infeed lines are used. The power leads shoud be brought directly to the line side of the circuit breaker in the main control panel and the neutral grounded to the ground terminal stud in the conveyor panel. CONNECTIONS SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
NOTE: Phase rotation must be properly observed to ensure proper direction of belt and boom travel.
WARNING: SEE WARNING LABEL ON PAGE I-15 OR INSIDE MAIN CONTROL PANEL BEFORE STARTING THE CONVEYOR.
CAUTION: CHECK TO ENSURE THAT THE CONVEYOR FRAME IS ADEQUATELY GROUNDED BEFORE APPLYING POWER.
Conveyor may be shipped with jumper wire between the interlock terminals. This would enable the unit to run without an interlock. When a takeaway or feed interlock is supplied, these terminals must be properly connected to the main conveyor system. Remove jumper wires and make proper connection according to the supplied electric schematic. Make sure that interlock wiring will not start or restart the conveyor.
Installation Description - Visual Inspection and Pre-Operational Tests
After the conveyor has been installed, but before operating the conveyor, a visual check should be made to ensure the conveyor is ready for use. Ensure that the conveyor holddowns are properly installed. Ensure all guards are in place and no broken parts are visible.
(SEE THE WARNINGS BELOW BEFORE STARTING CONVEYOR)
After the conveyor has been properly installed and visually checked, the following operating tests should be performed: The conveyor should be operated with a operator at the front first boom controls only. Check for proper belt direction and electrical phasing. The operator should extend the boom, start and stop the belt, and check all of the pushbutton functions. The safety plate should be actuated by exerting pressure against the plate, and the limit switches preventing boom overtravel should be checked. Following the above operation, all controls for the conveyor belt and boom should be operated from all other control stations if supplied. Other stations are optional. If any problems arise, consult the electrical schematic or conveyor assembly drawings for complete details. If the problems cannot be corrected through the use of this information, call the Stewart Glapat Corporation for further information.
NEVER OPERATE THE CONVEYOR IF ALL CONTROLS ARE NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL.
Pre-Operational Tests - Important Warnings
DO NOT OPERATE THE CONVEYOR UNLESS ALL MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL AREAS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY CHECKED.
Your attention is called to the Warning Tag reproduced below for procedures to be used to verify that connections to the power lines are installed in the proper phase rotation. A similar sticker is attached to the electrical panel. THIS SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
DO NOT ACTIVATE ANY BOOM CONTROLS (EXTEND, RETRACT) UNTIL PROPER PHASE ROTATION HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AS FOLLOWS: CONNECT PROPER VOLTAGE, 3 PHASE POWER TO CIRCUIT BREAKER (L1, L2, L3). CLOSE DOOR. TURN BREAKER HANDLE TO 'ON'. DEPRESS THE BELT 'START' BUTTON. BELT MUST RUN PROPER DIRECTION (SEE FINAL ASSEMBLY DRAWING IF NOT KNOWN). IF RUNNING IN REVERSE, EXCHANGE INPUT POWER LEADS TO L1 & L3 ON CIRCUIT BREAKER INPUT. RESTART BELT. OBSERVE DIRECTION. IF CORRECT, BOOM CONTROLS MAY BE ACTIVATED. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FORE-GOING PROCEDURE MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE BOOM DRIVE MECHANISM. DO NOT CHANGE PHASEING AT MOTOR STARTERS.
If the power leads from the 1 HP boom drive motor to the main control panel are removed for any reason (such as motor replacement) observe the following procedure for verifying proper motor rotation: . . . . . .
1. Connect motor to main control panel as per the schematic diagram
2. Do not connect the drive chain from the motor to the drive sprocket
3. With the electrical circuits energized depress the boom extend pushbutton. Note that the drive sprocket rotates with the top of the sprocket moving toward the extendible end of the conveyor. NEVER TOUCH A MOVING SPROCKET.
4. In the event the sprocket rotates in the opposite direction the phase on the boom drive motor is reversed. In this case correct the phase by interchanging the two outer leads to the motor connection points in the control box and recheck the rotation as noted above.
