Belt Tracking Adjustment
The
Belt Tracking Adjustment
is a fine adjustment
procedure. The Motor Mount Tracking Adjustment
(following section) is a course adjustment.
To adjust the belt tracking:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Push the belt by hand from left to right (the
direction indicated top of the platen) and
observe the belt’s position on the rollers. The
oscillating movement of the belt is by design.
Observe the belt's range of movement from its
highest to lowest position. The edges of the
belt should not have a tendency to move
above or below the edges of the rollers.
If adjustment is still necessary:
3. Insert the round shaft of the
belt tracking tool
(provided) into the
micro adjust lock nut
(A)
and turn away from you to loosen.
4. Turn
the
micro adjusting screw
(B) in 1/4 turn
increments until the belt tracks evenly on the
rollers when rotated by hand.
Tip: Moving the belt tracking tool
away
from
you
raises
the belt on the drum and
towards
you
lowers
the belt on the drum.
5. Tighten the micro adjusting nut (A).

the belt’s up and down range of movement.
Adjustment is correct when the edges of the
belt do not move above or below the edges of
the rollers.
8. When adjustment is complete, tighten the
micro
adjust lock n
ut (A).
If the tracking cannot be corrected go to the
Motor
Mount Tracking Adjustment
section (next page).
