STEP 3 WEAVE STRAND TO THE OTHER SIDE
• Repeat the steps in #3, going in the opposite direction, weaving to the other
side edge of the belt (Diagrams C through G)
• If you are installing a new belt, you are finished splicing
STEP 4 CHECK DRIVE SHAFT SPROCKET ALIGNMENT
• There should be a 3/16” clearance between all sprockets (and/or blanks) and
the Z-bends next to them
• Check alignment of sprocket teeth with a straight edge (only necessary if the
sprockets are not keyed to the Drive Shaft)
STEP 5 CHECK ENTIRE BELT CIRCUIT
• Z-bends should NOT come in contact with ANY conveyor component (including
end rolls, wear strips, transfer support rails or nose bars, etc.)
• Adjust as needed
