7.13. Replace the Belt Lacing
1. Rotate the conveyor belt until the lacing is by the hopper or is easily accessible.
2. Loosen the conveyor belt and remove the lacing retainer clip and pin.
3. Using a square and sharp knife, cut the lacing off right behind the lacing clips. The cut belt MUST have a
square end.
4. Use a knife to cut Chevron pattern off 1” back from the end of the belt. This ensures that the lacing is
centered and fully seated on the belt.
5. Use a lacing tool to install new lacing clips. Lacing clips are one clip shorter than the belt width. For example:
the lacing for a 15” wide belt is 14 clips. Center the lacing on the belt and install the lacing as per
instructions on the lacing tool.
6. Reattach the conveyor belt ends together. If required, use a ratchet strap clamped to both ends of the belt
to cinch the belting ends together.
7. Install the lacing pin and crimp the retainer clips onto each end of the lacing pin.
8. Remove the ratchet strap and tighten the conveyor belt (see “Conveyor Belt Tension”).
9. Check and set the belt alignment (see “Conveyor Belt Alignment”).
10. Engage the conveyor drive. Allow the conveyor to run for 30 seconds, then shut down the conveyor and
inspect the lacing.
7.14. Replace the Conveyor Belt
1. Rotate the conveyor belt until the lacing is by the hopper or is easily accessible.
2. Move the tension roller to its loosest position.
3. Pull all the slack to the lacing area.
4. Remove the lacing retainer clip and pin.
5. Attach one end of the replacement belt to the belt end being removed, closest to the hopper.
6. Pull the old belt out and the new belt will be threaded into place.
7. Disconnect the old belt.
8. Reattach conveyor belt ends together. If required, use a ratchet strap clamped to both ends of belt to cinch
belting ends together.
