STANDARD BELT REPLACEMENT

1.  Turn wheel off and unplug from the power 

outlet. Raise the front of the pottery wheel 
until the wheel rests on its back legs.

3.  Gently pull the top of the belt guard toward 

you and twist it to the left. Set belt guard 
aside.

2.  Locate the belt guard on the bottom of the 

wheel. Use a 7/16" wrench to remove the 
three nuts and bolts highlighted in photo.

4.  ‘Walk” the belt off the large pulley by 

grabbing hold of the belt in the space 
between the pulleys, then gently pull toward 
you while turning the large pulley slowly. 

MODELS:

5.  Install new belt by fitting the new belt over 

the small pulley first.

6.  Lay one half of the grooved side of the belt 

on the large pulley and start turning the belt 
and pulley at the same time to “roll’ the belt 
onto the large pulley.
