TM 5-3895-374-24-2 3. Inspect the center of the belt.  Damage or wear in this part of the belt may be the result of the belt rubbing on the conveyor frame or may be the result of use and the belt has reached the end of its useful life. B. Repair 1. A tear or rip in the belt can be repaired by installing a metal clip in the belt at the tear.  This clip joins the two edges of the tear and reduces the chances of the damaged belt catching on the conveyor frame and tearing even more. 2. A  procedure  and  a  recommended  metal  clip  for  the  repair  of  the  belt  is  included  in  Section  3-8-11.    Other commercial clips or fasteners are available. C. Disassembly 1. If the conveyor belt is damaged beyond repair, cut the belt in a straight line across its width. 2. Starting at the tail pulley, pull the belt off the conveyor. D. Assembly 1. Conveyor belt has a top and bottom.  The top is the material carrying side and  has  a  thicker  rubber  cover  on  it than the bottom.  Inspect the belting to be installed and place it behind the conveyor.  The top side(thickest rubber cover) must be fed into the conveyor face down.  Clamp a 1/2" thick (or heavier) rope that is at least 150 feet long to  the  end  of  the  belt  closest  to  the  conveyor.    Feed  the  rope,  starting  out  under  the  tail  pulley,  through  the conveyor following the route that the conveyor belt follows.  The end of the rope will come back over the top of the tail pulley. 2. Pull the belting onto the conveyor using care not to catch the edge of the belt on the conveyor frame. 3. The two ends of the belt must be on the top of the conveyor between the screen deck and the scale idler.  This will allow adequate space for splicing the ends. 4. Follow the instructions in Section 3-8-11 to join the two ends. 5. Remove padlocks from the breakers and turn breakers on. 3-8-4 Conveyor Belt, Idler Pulleys and Adjustments Training the belt is a process of adjusting idlers, pulleys, and loading conditions in a manner that will correct any tendency of the belt to run other than centrally.  The belt on page 3-1253
