00:00well welcome back here we are again with another piece of equipment that could make your job
00:15easier this is a conveyor mostly used for transferring dirt used a lot for digging
00:22out basements if you have old homes or anything and you want to feed it through the wall and
00:26transport the dirt as you're digging out the basement to make it lower maybe you got a four
00:32foot ceiling or something in there and you want to get it down to eight feet this will allow you
00:36to put the the dirt or stone and everything on the end and transport it out into a outside into
00:44a pile into wheel barrels into a bin pickup truck whatever you can lift this thing into because the
00:51the wheels are just to transport it and tow it with a two-inch ball and you can take this dolly off
00:58and then you're the only dealing with the the framework itself and this is a this is the end
01:05that's going to have the soil come off of where the motor is that's usually outside and this other
01:12end where you have your tow bar at the end with the two-inch ball which you take off you don't leave
01:18that on because I as a conveyor shakes and everything it's going to work itself down into the the soil or
01:23the stone and could just jam up inside the coupler so take that and take that off unless you're just
01:29going to leave it up in the air and use it this way horizontally ninety percent of the time it's down
01:34into a hole somewhere and what I would also suggest is put a piece of wood at that end as the pockets
01:40come around and the conveyor shakes it tends to work itself down into the soil especially if it's loose soil
01:46and then you're starting and then you're dragging the pockets around as it's trying to come around
01:51possibly trip your breaker or anything it's an easy setup to plug in you'll use a heavy extension
01:58cord that's usually provided and you're just 115 volt power turn it on and the conveyor will start
02:04moving around the pockets will grab whatever it has to to grab and dump off the end try to keep when
02:11you're loading the conveyor at the at the loading end there is a hopper that you can get as well but
02:16try to keep loading your material maybe a couple feet up from the end not over the roller especially
02:21if you're doing things like pea gravel and that small stones would tend to get down into the the
02:27roller sometimes get jammed around the belt as well and they can jam things down at that end and trip
02:34your breaker as this thing's trying to move now a couple of good suggestions when you use this is
02:40especially in the winter time is grab your belt before you start doing anything and just make sure
02:46it's it's loose in the winter time sometimes you're using it and it gets wet in that it'll stick or freeze
02:53itself to the frame so first thing is you loosen off your belt always have it stopped empty and starting
03:01empty don't leave a load on to the conveyor again you can trip your breaker or whatever and as this
03:08is going around at the end of the day make sure it's empty and that it's not stuck to your frame
03:13and especially if you're doing it outside or the or the half that's in the outside is loading it's in
03:19the weather that there's nothing there that's going to cause any obstruction to the conveyor going around
03:25now this will certainly move fast enough for a couple of people to be loading so um don't worry
03:32about the conveyor keeping up and the uh the um dispensing at the end uh you'll have to keep an eye
03:42on that for your loading there's no um no remote shut off or anything the conveyor is going to keep
03:47going so make sure you know uh how much is coming off on the end when you're doing it and um that's
03:55about it for this pc unit the only other thing that uh i should mention is when you do make a hole
04:01especially if you're going to go to think you're going to go into a window in a basement make sure
04:05you know that the the size of the frame on the end to fit through horizontally is fine but you're going
04:11to be on an angle so it's going to be bigger than what you anticipate you may have to be taking out a
04:15block or two or you may have to take out some framing certainly the window but uh don't just
04:21take the um the rectangular frame of the size with the motor of the conveyor that's only if it's going
04:27straight when you go on that angle you're easily going to be taking out another six to six inches to
04:32a foot uh on your on your verticals to be able to get this conveyor down at the angle you want
04:38okay so there's something to consider certainly will make a job easier and uh keep in touch and uh
