Installations These procedures were written for equipment that is being installed on
without chutework enclosed pulley chutework. If the pulley is not enclosed, the equipment
should be installed using the best available field resources and methods to
ensure that the critical dimensions are followed for proper installation.

MARTIN® XHD Hanger Mounts can be used for installations without

chutework. See “Part Numbers” section for a list of mounts and part numbers.

 Safety
Introduction
All safety rules defined in the above documents and all owner/employer safety
rules must be strictly followed when working on the belt cleaner.

! DANGER
Do not touch or go near the conveyor belt or conveyor
accessories when the belt is running. Your body or clothing
can get caught and you can be pulled into the conveyor,
resulting in severe injury or death.

! DANGER
Before installing, servicing, or adjusting the belt cleaner, turn
off and lock out/tag out all energy sources to the conveyor and
conveyor accessories according to ANSI standards. Failure to
do so could result in serious injury or death.

! DANGER
If this equipment will be installed in an enclosed area, test the
gas level or dust content before using a cutting torch or
welding. Using a torch or welding in an area with gas or dust
may cause an explosion resulting in serious injury or death.

! WARNING
Before using a cutting torch or welding the chute wall, cover
the conveyor belt with a fire retardant cover. Failure to do so
can allow the belt to catch fire.

! WARNING
Remove all tools from the installation area and conveyor belt
before turning on the conveyor. Failure to do so can cause
serious injury to personnel or damage to the belt and
conveyor.

! WARNING
Mainframe with blade can be heavy and may require two
people to lift. Attempting to lift the belt cleaner without
assistance could result in injury.

Martin Engineering M3542-11/08 2 MARTIN® ZHD Pre-Cleaner and Tensioners

 Introduction
! WARNING
Moving spring can pinch and crush. Keep hands away from
spring.

! CAUTION
Center the belt cleaner blades to clean an area narrower than
the conveyor belt width. This allows for side-to-side
movement of the belt and prevents damage to the belt edge.

Use only MARTIN® ZHD mainframe and tensioners with

MARTIN® ZHD Blades. Other mainframes and tensioners
may not be strong enough and could break, causing damage to
the conveyor belt and conveyor system.

 Before Installing Belt Cleaner and Tensioner
Before Installation

IMPORTANT
The delivery service is responsible for damage occurring in
transit. Martin Engineering CANNOT enter claims for
damages. Contact your transportation agent for more
information.
1. Inspect shipping containers for damage. Report damage to delivery
service immediately and fill out delivery service’s claim form. Keep any
damaged goods subject to examination.
2. Remove MARTIN® ZHD Belt Cleaner and tensioner from shipping
containers. Equipment in containers should include the following:
• MARTIN® ZHD Belt Cleaner mainframe and blades.
• MARTIN® ZHD Spring Link Tensioner Assembly.
• Fasteners (see “Part Numbers”).
• Two Conveyor Products Warning Labels, P/N 23395.
3. If anything is missing, contact Martin Engineering or a representative.

! WARNING
Before installing equipment, turn off and lock out/tag out
energy source to conveyor and conveyor accessories.
4. Turn off and lock out/tag out energy source according to ANSI standards
(see “References”).

IMPORTANT
Read and understand the safety information in the previous
section.

2. Place Conveyor Products Warning Label (P/N 23395) on outside chute
wall visible to belt cleaner operator.

! WARNING
Failure to remove tools from installation area and conveyor
belt before turning on energy source can cause serious injury
to personnel and damage to belt.

! DANGER
Do not touch or go near conveyor belt or conveyor accessories
when conveyor belt is running. Body or clothing can get
caught and pull body into conveyor belt, causing severe injury
or death.
3. Turn on conveyor belt for 1 hour, then turn off.

! DANGER
Before installing, servicing, or adjusting the belt cleaner/
tensioner, turn off and lock out/tag out all energy sources to
the conveyor and conveyor accessories according to ANSI
standards. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or
death.
4. Make sure all fasteners are tight. Tighten if necessary.
5. Inspect belt cleaner for the following:
• Wear. (A small amount of “break-in” wear may be found. This will
stop once blades wear to conveyor belt contour.)
• Material buildup. (No material between blades and return side of
conveyor belt should be found.)
6. If wear, material buildup, or some other problem exists, see
“Troubleshooting.”

NOTE
Conveyor equipment such as conveyor belt cleaners are subject to a wide variety of bulk materials
characteristics and often have to perform under extreme operating or environmental conditions. It is
not possible to predict all circumstances that may require troubleshooting. Contact Martin
Engineering or a representative if you are experiencing problems other than those listed in the
“Troubleshooting” chart above. Do not return the equipment to operation until the problem has been
identified and corrected.

Installation If after taking the corrective actions suggested under “Troubleshooting” you
checklist are still experiencing problems, check for the following:

Installation Checklist

✓ Pre-Cleaner mainframe is proper distance from belt surface on both ends of mainframe.

✓ Pre-Cleaner blade tip is at or below horizontal center line of pulley and does not lie in path
of material flow.
