4-3   Installation Overview 
 
This section will familiarize the reader with commonly used procedures for blender 
installation. After reading this chapter, the reader will be familiar with the 
installation requirements for all SGB blenders. 
 
4-4   Mechanical Installation  
 
The installation procedure should be used as a general guideline for the 
proper installation steps required to install the SGB blending system. 
 
1.  Remove crate from around blender. 
 
2.  Secure strap of proper lifting capacity to both lifting lugs. 
 
 
3.   Lift blender until strap is taut. 
 
4.  Remove bolts attaching bottom of blender to shipping skid. 
 
5.  Lift blender and position over machine throat or floor stand. 
 
6.  Set in position and secure by tightening four bolts.   
 
7.  Remove lifting strap. 
 
 
CAUTION!

8.  Mount the material conveying system receivers on the top of the 
blender supply hoppers.  
 
9.  Align the weigh hopper on the load cell brackets. Carefully adjust the 
load cell brackets to ensure that the weigh hopper is centered on the 
brackets without rocking. If for some reason the locating tabs do not 
align with the weigh hopper, they can easily be loosened and adjusted. 
 
Important!   
Use extreme care when tightening bolts on top of the load cells so 
you do not spring the load cells. The load cells are extremely 
delicate and should be treated with care!
 
 
 10.  Check the slide gate metering assemblies to ensure they are not 
damaged, and will slide back and forth freely. These are the most 
important items on the blender, besides the load cell and weigh hopper
