ASSEMBLY STEP 4
Install the Belt and Set the Tension
INSTALLING THE BELT
1. Drop the notched side of the trolley clip into the
retaining slot on top of the trolley (Figure 1).
2. Grasp the clip connector at the end
of the belt and slip it through the belt
pulley bracket from behind, around
the pulley and toward the trolley.
3. Fasten the belt clip connector to the
trolley clip with a master link:
• Push pins of master link bar
through holes in trolley clip and belt
clip connector.
• Push master link cap over pins and
past pin notches.
• Slide clip-on spring over cap and onto
pin notches until both pins are securely
locked in place.
4. With the trolley against the screwdriver,
dispense the belt along the rail and around
the motor unit sprocket. The sprocket teeth
must engage the belt (Figure 2).
5. Use the second master link to connect the belt
to the flat end of the trolley threaded shaft
(Figure 1). Check to make sure the belt is not
twisted.
6. Remove the screwdriver.
SETTING THE TENSION
1. Insert the trolley threaded shaft through the hole in
the trolley.
2. Hold the belt at the trolley shaft to avoid twisting as
you thread the spring/trolley nut by hand on the
shaft until finger tight against the trolley (Figure 3).
Do not use any tools.
3. Insert a screwdriver tip into one of the nut ring
slots and brace it firmly against the trolley.
(Figure 4).
4. Place a 7/16" open end wrench on the square end.
Rotate about 1/4 turn until the spring releases and
snaps the nut ring against the trolley (Figure 5).
This extends the spring for optimum belt tension.
