Ensure that the feeder inside is clean without any foreign material. Check that the weigh span rollers are properly aligned as per O & M manual. Check that the belt tension is adjusted as per the instuction given in O & M manual. Start the feeder. Adjust the take up pulley at the rear side so that the belt runs exactly at the center and doesnt deviate slowly to any one side. When the belt slips to any one side, the corresponding sides tension adjustment screw to be adjusted such a way that the belt tightness increases in that side marginally. Allow the feeder to run for 8 hr trial with belt running smoothly without requiring any adjustment. Start the clean out conveyer and run for four hour trail run. After completion of the trial run, calibriate the feeder for gravimetric mode operation.
