Remove a link from the belt:
Use a pair of pliers to twist the tab of
one link until the tab can slide through
the hole in the next link.
Repeat this for the tab of the next link
so the first link can be removed.
Reconnect the belt by pushing the unused
tab through the unused hole.
NOTE: Additional belt links
can be removed if necessary to
properly tension the belt.
Roll the belt back onto into place.
Replace the cover removed in Step 3.
WARNING
Never operate the unit unless
all safety covers are in place
and all safety equipment is

Side Conveyor Belt Replacement/
Tension Spring Check/Replacement
Each side conveyor belt will stretch and
wear over time. Belt stretching is automatically
compensated for by a spring.
Replace a belt when its pin has worn or when
it sags.
NOTE: Before replacing a
sagging belt, check to make sure
the tension spring has not been
compressed.
Mechanical movement, vibration and wear
over time can cause the adjusting spring to lose
its “elasticity”. Before replacing a sagging belt,
check the condition of its tensioning spring.
If belt sagging is corrected because the spring
must be replaced and the belt/pin is otherwise
sound, replacement will not be necessary.
NOTE: This procedure is best
performed by two workers. The
“buddy system” is the safest
system.
