TM 5-3895-374-24-2 Directions for applying FLEXCO conveyor belt fasteners.  F117C 1.    Square  belt  ends  (see  Installation  Tips on   other   side)   and   cut   to   length.      To simplify   the   cutting   job,   use   an   Alligator Wide Belt Cutter. 2.  Support belt ends with wood plank.  Nail Flexco  Templet  in  position  with  belt  ends tight against lugs.  Templet nails are in bolt bag.  Punch or bore bolt holes. 3.  An impact tool with Flexco Power Punch or   Flexco   Power   Boring   Bit   speeds   hole boring operation.  Remove templet.  Leave plank  under  belt  ends  for  a  word  surface. All  work  can  be  done  from  the  top  of  the belt. 4.  Assemble bolts in bottom plates.  Snap clip over heads of bolls.  Fold one belt end back out of the way.  Then insert bolts from under side along one row of holes. 5.  Using the notches in the templet to align the  opposite  row  of  bolts,  place  the  other end  of  the  belt  over  the  bolts.    Press  belt onto   bolts   with   hands.   Remove   templet. Continue to press belt until it is in place. 6.    Place  top  plate  over  one  bolt.    Insert Bolt horn Tool through  the  other  plate  hole and over the second bolt to pry it into place. 7.  Assemble all top plates same way as in Direction No.  6.    Start  nuts  down  by  hand far   enough   so   that   wrench   will   engage bolts. 8.  Before tightening fasteners, cut a piece of Flexco-Lok Tape three times the width of the  belt  plus  six  inches  and  cut  a  point  on one   end.      Thread   pointed   tape   between fastener  teeth  on  top  of  belt,  back  through the   bottom   plates,   and   across    the    top again. 9.    Pull  tape  tight  and  hold  in  position  by lightening   a   fastener   at   each   end   of   the splice.  Then snug down all other plates. 10.    Tighten  all  fasteners  from   edges   to center.      Tighten   all   nuts   uniformly.      A Flexco  Power  Tool  Wrench  used  with  an impact tool will speed this step considerably. 11.    Hammer  plates  in  belt  with  metal  or hard   wood      block   as   illustrated.      Then retighten nuts. 12.    Break  off  excess  bolt  ends  using  two bolt  breakers.    On  belts  with  thick  rubber covers,  retighten  all  nuts  after  a  few  hours running. FASTENERS SHOULD BE RETIGHTENED AT LEAST ONCE AFTER THE FIRST 24 HOURS  OF  SERVICE...ESPECIALLY  ON  BELTS  OF  THICK RUBBER COVERS. THE    SAFE    EFFECTIVE    USE    OF    THESE    BELT    MAINTENANCE    PRODUCTS    DEPENDS    ON    PROPER    SELECTION.        INSTALLATION. MAINTENANCE.    AND  REPLACEMENT  WHEN  NECESSARY.    THOROUGH  FAMILIARITY  AND  ADHERENCE  TO  SUGGESTED  INSTALLATION TECHNIQUES IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. (page 3-1339)
