Fastens to belt with hinge rods. No other fasteners required.
Install sideguards so the straight edge is the leading edge and the back ends are angled inward, toward the product. This is called a product-friendly orientation. On request, the back ends can be angled outward, toward the conveyor sides.
When going around the 8-, 12-, 16-, and 18-tooth sprockets, sideguards fan out, opening a gap at the top that can allow small products to fall out. The sideguards stay completely closed when wrapping around the 24-tooth and larger sprockets.
Standard gap between sideguards and flight edge: 0.2 in (5 mm)
