OPERATION 1. Prior to the start-up, check to see that belt is free from any objects that would bind or tear. 2. On starting for the first time, with no load on belt, apply power for a few seconds only to see that the tender belt is well centered in the tube and on the return. 3.

Our name Is getting known Just a few years ago, Yetter products were sold primarily to the Midwest only. Then we embarked on a program of expansion and moved into the East, the South, the West and now north into Canada. We’re even getting orders from as far away as Australia and Africa. So, when you buy Yetter products . . . you’re buying a name that’s recognized. A name that’s known and respected.
