Technical Tips
Identifying a Properly Installed Alligator ® Ready Set™ Splice
Step 1
Staples should be completely driven through and properly set into pockets on bottom side of fastener plates. |  |
Step 2
There should be a slight puckering of the belt at the front edge of the top plate. On belts with very hard top covers, or no top cover, this may not always be possible.
|
 |
Step 3
Fastener plates should be firmly compressed onto belt and you should not be able to catch your fingernail under front edge of fastener plate.
|
Step 4
Using a square, draw a line perpendicular to your average center line across the belt width. |
 |
Step 5
Belt is flush against fastener belt stops across width of belt; fasteners are parallel with belt edge. |
 |
Step 6
Corners on trailing end of belt have been notched/chamfered. |
 |
Step 7
Pin Retaining Washers, if used, are properly crimped. |
