Install the pulley onto the head shaft and slide the two bushings onto the shaft.
Install the fasteners holding the bushing in place and securing the shaft in the head pulley.

Using a sling around the head shaft on either side of the pulley, lift the assembly to the conveyor frame. Make
sure the reducer end of the head shaft extends out the correct side of the conveyor.

A bearing adjustment bolt is mounted on each side of the conveyor below the mounting of the pillow block
bearings. Unless these have been moved, or the pulley does not sit level, they should not have to be moved.
Install the two bolts holding each of the pillow block bearings in place. Tighten them.
