MAINTENANCE (continued)
Measure the Conveyor Chains for Stretch
After a period of time, the conveyor links will wear and
the conveyor will stretch. This may cause the conveyor
to jam as it rotates on the sprockets. This is easily
remedied by removing one or more links from each
side of the conveyor.
NOTE: This periodic adjustment not covered
under warranty. It is a user responsibility.
1. Open the front and rear conveyor covers and set
et the compression knobs to “6 & F”.
2. Facing the heel/club side (front), locate the
approximate center point of the conveyor belt/
chain.
3. Pull the conveyor chain away from the edge of
the toaster.
4. Stand a U.S. Quarter coin (15/16”, or 2.5cm
horizontally between the chain and the frame
(Figure 13).
NOTE: The coin should fit securely between the
chain and the frame.
5. If the gap is significantly wider than the coin (one
and a half times as large) a small link will have to
be removed from the conveyor chain.
6. Disconnect the conveyor belt/chain by squeezing
any two links together and unhooking both ends
of one link (Figure 14).
NOTE: Needle nose pliers may be required.
7. To shorten a stretched conveyor belt/chain,
remove one 1/2” link from the conveyor belt.
8. Reconnect by hooking both ends of the belt back
together and remeasure accordingly.
NOTE: If the belt is too short/tight to be reassem-
bled, remove an additional 1/2” link and install a
3/4” link. This will shorten the belt 1/4” overall.
9. Reassemble the conveyor chain and repeat the
measurement.
NOTE: If you CANNOT stand the coin between
the chain and frame you have taken out the wrong
sized link or have taken out too many links and
damage may occur to the toaster.
10. Repeat steps 3 through 7 for the crown (rear)
side of the toaster using a U.S. Dime coin (11/16”,
1.8cm).
