Ensure no change of lubricant is required as the unit is lubricated for life

Describe the conveyor operating environment

Ensure the following parts are ready for lubrication

Apply quality chain lubricant to the chain

Apply quality chain lubricant to the sprockets

Is the lubrication evenly applied across all parts?

Check for any excess lubricant and clean if necessary

Inspect if the belt is tracking centred on the pulleys

Is the belt tracking off centre at the idle pulley?
