4. Observe the results of the adjustment and then readjust, if necessary.
Steps 2 and 3 may need to be repeated to obtain perfect belt tracking.
Note
As you extend or compress the telescoper, you may be changing the belt tension. If belt
tension has increased (or decreased) considerably while attempting to track the belt, then
compress (or extend) both telescopers and complete the belt tracking process again. To
avoid this problem, extend one telescoper while compressing the other to obtain proper
belt tracking.
5. Re-tighten the jam nut located on the telescoper to maintain the new telescoper position after
completing the tracking procedure.
6. If you are having problems tracking the belt, consult your Siemens representative. Common
causes of belt tracking problems are: uneven or improperly distributed product loading,
twisted frame, or product build-up on head or tail pulleys.
