tracking adjustment. Turn power ON, run machine and watch and if necessary adjust
tracking.
C-4 Conveyor Belt Tensioning & Tracking
As the conveyor belt rotates around the conveyor bed it can shift to one side or the other.
It can be adjusted to follow the correct path/track around the conveyor bed. adjustment is
called tracking the conveyor belt. It is also called "track the belt". The belt should track in
the center of the conveyor bed.
The conveyor belt must be turned "ON" to make adjustments.
Adjust the conveyor belt tracking by loosening the lock nut and adjust the conveyor belt
adjustment bolt on each side of the conveyor.
•
Tighten the right-side adjusting bolt to move the conveyor belt to the left.
•
Tighten the left-side adjusting bolt to move the conveyor belt to the right.

enough to rotate around the conveyor bed without slipping. If it seems too tight on a side,
loosen the adjustment bolt on the opposite side of the conveyor.
CAUTION:
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE CONVEYOR BELT. THE CONVEYOR
BELT OR THE BEARINGS COULD FAIL PREMATURELY BY OVERTIGHTENING.
