straightness. Use turnbuckles if required.
The tail pulleys are not square to

The take-up pulley is not square. Adjust the take-up pulley. Ensure the belt tension
is still appropriate for application.
Belt tracking is very sensitive. Check the orientation of the drive section. This is
a common issue if the drive section is installed
backwards and run in reverse.
If the AC section is small in length, this is an
inherent issue of the specification. Contact
ZiPline support for further assistance.
