8.4 SETTING BELT TRACKING
After changing the roller and belt and tensioning it properly, The next thing is to check the tracking of
the belt. You want the belt to run so it's as centered on the rollers as it can be.
To begin, make sure the machine is still Disconnected From Power.
Slowly roll the belt by hand in the right direction and see how it tracks.
If it stays on the rollers go ahead and close ALL the covers making sure they are properly locked shut.
Make sure the clear cover on the front of the machine is flipped down.
Connect the power to the machine.
NOTE: Make sure you are wearing the proper safety equipment!!
At this point we're ready to start the machine. Be prepared to stop the machine in case any difficulties
are encountered.
Once the machine is started and running, check the belt to see how it's tracking by watching the front
roller. If it tracking off to one side or the other use the 8mm Allen key to adjust the tracking.
SEE FIGURE 19
Below shows where the tracking adjustment is made. There is a hole in the side-cover of the machine
that allows access to the adjustment bolt.
CAUTION: Turn Tracking Adjustment Bolt Slowly!!
Watch the grinding belt closely while turning the tracking adjustment bolt.
Once the belt is centered and tracking good, let the machine run for a minute to make sure it stays.
Machine is now ready for use.
