Advanced blade tracking:
Most tracking adjustments can be done by simply adjusting the top
wheel tracking knob as the lower wheel comes correctly adjusted
from the factory. However there may come a time when adjustment is
necessary such as if the blade keeps falling off the drive wheels.
At the back of the unit you will find 4 screws that allows fine
adjustment to the lower pulley tacking. The upper and lower screws
adjust the vertical angle and the left and right screws adjust the
horizontal angle. If the lower wheel tracking is out, only adjust the
upper and lower screws. However if the wheels keep throwing the
blade, you will have to adjust horizontal angle using the left and
right screws. When adjusting the angle ensure you only make small
adjustments, being careful to tighten and loosen in the direction you wish to align. For example,
loosening the left screw then tightening the right screw. This is to ensure there is no movement in
the wheels angle during operation. Be sure all adjustment screws are tight before use and you have
manually spun the wheels by hand to check the alignment.
