SEALING BELT REPLACEMENT
PREGIS AIRSPEED 5000
AIR CUSHION MACHINE
Introduction
Expected sealing belt life is approximately 100-200
hours (9,000-18,000 meters). The upper belt will
wear faster than the lower belt due to sealing wire
contact. To extend belt life by up to 20%, each belt
may be flipped around as explained in the follow-
ing description.
After both edges of the upper belt are completely
worn through, transfer the lower belt to upper belt
position. Discard the worn out upper belt. Install
a new lower belt. The belt transferred to the upper
position is again put through the same cycle of use.
Belt Replacement
Electrical shock or unexpected machine
movement can cause injury. DO NOT operate
machine with guards re moved

lockout/tagout policy as required for each
