8. Place the belt guide rollers on the frame.
9. Install the bolts (6) hand-tight.
10. Align the wheel of the guide roller (5) so
the guiding snare of the belt falls in the
wheel.
11. Make sure distances C and D are equal
and tighten the bolts (6).
12. Loosen bolt (4), move the wheel so it is
just above the profile and tighten the bolt.
13. Loosen bolt (8), move the roller (7) so
distance A (free space between the belt
and the roller) is 3 mm and tighten the
bolt.
14. Check/correct the tension of the belt, see
15. Check/adjust the alignment of the belt,
see
Adjusting belt alignment
Warning!
It is very important that the belt runs
completely free.
To prevent fast wear (and early
replacement of the belt) make sure the
belt is not touched by the (covers of the)
machine.
1. Measure the distance from the side of the
belt to the end of the roller on the left-
hand side (D) and on the right-hand side
(E).
They must be approximately the same.
D E
2. When the distances are not the same,
adjust them as follows.
3. When the belt needs to move to the left-
hand side, the length of the left-hand
adjustment possibility needs to decrease
so distance (A) will decrease.
In this way the belt is “pushed” towards
the left-hand side.
Note: the more distance (A) is decreased,
the faster the belt will move towards that
side.
4. Loosen locknuts (1), count the number of
turns and rotate the adjustment (2) so
length A decreases.
