  Re-set:
1. Lift the Take-Up-Counter-Weight to release the tension on the conveyor belt before clamping the top and bottom conveyor belt after belt breakage
2. Clamp the top and bottom conveyor belt behind the Nieuwoudt Belt-Trap after breakage of the belt had occurred. Maximum tension must be applied to secure the belt.
3. After securing the belt with clamping devices, release the top and bottom arresting component of the Nieuwoudt Belt-Trap by pulling the clamping section of the Nieuwoudt Belt-Trap into a forward position to release the hold on the belt. Insert lock-pins to hold catcher in open position
4. After splicing the conveyor belt, lower the Take-Up-Counter-Weight. This action will tighten the tension on the conveyor belt. Remove lock pins. Ensure that the Nieuwoudt Belt-Trap is in normal free running working position.
5. Under no circumstances should there be any deviation from previous safety rules on conveyor belt systems.
