Conveyor Belt Chains
MEASURING THE CONVEYOR BELT CHAINS
1. Facing the toaster, locate the approximate center-
point of the Conveyor Chain.
2. Pull the Conveyor chain away from the edge of
the toaster. Stand a U.S. Dime, 11/16” (1.8 cm)
coin on end between the frame and the chain.
If the gap is significantly wider than the coin,
REMOVE links as described in the section titled
Adjusting The Conveyor Belt Chains
. Then,
measure the gap again to make sure it is not too
tight.
Check the opposite side of the toaster using the
same measurements.

NOTE: If the belt is too short (tight) to be reas-
sembled, remove an additional 1/2” link and install
a 3/4” link. This will make the conveyor belt 1/4”
shorter and enable it to be reassembled.
IMPORTANT: This is not covered under warranty. It
is a user responsibility.
REMOVING THE CONVEYOR BELT CHAINS
1. Turn the unit off, unplug the power cord, and allow
the unit to cool down.
2. Remove the Heat Shield, front and rear Conveyor
Covers, and Release Sheet (Figure 4).
NOTE: When replacing the Conveyor Belt chain, be
sure to clean the Release Sheet as well.
3. Set the Bun Thickness Compression Control
knobs to 6.
4. Disconnect the Conveyor Belt chain by squeezing
any two links together and unhooking both ends
of one link (Figure 8). A needle-nose pliers may
be required. Remove the Conveyor Belt chain.
NOTE: With conveyor belt removed, the tensioner
assemblies (4, page 24) and slide rails (40, page 24)
can be replaced.

ADJUSTING THE CONVEYOR BELT CHAINS
After a period of time, the conveyor belt links will wear
and the conveyor belt will stretch. This will eventually
cause the conveyor to jam as it rotates on the sprock-
ets. This is easily remedied by removing one or more
conveyor links from each side of the belt.
There are four 1/2” pitch links on each conveyor belt.
The rest of the links are 3/4”.
1. Remove the Conveyor Belt Chain as described in
the section titled
Removing the Conveyor Belt
Chains
.
2. To shorten a stretched Conveyor Belt chain,
remove one 1/2” link from the belt.
3. Reassemble the Conveyor Belt Chain to the
sprockets as described in the section titled
Replacing the Conveyor Belt Chains
.
