4.
Run the new Belt around the Conveyor Frame (Figure 18).
5.
Install the Fiberglass Rod through the Belt Loops.
6.
Apply some adhesive to both ends of the Fiberglass Rod to prevent it from moving during Conveyor operation
(Figure 19).

Applying Adhesive
7.
Finger tighten the Belt-Tension Knobs (Figure 12) to remove excess slack from the Belt. The Belt should be loose
enough to be moved across the two Rollers by hand when the Conveyor is not running.
CAUTION!
Excessive tightening of the Belt will result in early Belt failure. Since the two Conveyor Rollers have a
crown in the middle, only minimum tightening is necessary.
8.
Start the Conveyor and adjust the Belt-Tensioning Knobs until the Belt runs in the center of the loading end of the
Conveyor. The Belt should be able to be stopped by hand when the Conveyor is running. If stopping the Belt stalls
the Conveyor Motor, the Belt is too tight and must be loosened.
9.
When the Belt runs in the center of the Loading End, observe the Belt's position at the Motor End. If the Belt runs too
far to one side on the Motor End, adjust the Motor Pulley as follows:
•
Turn the Conveyor off.
•
Remove Belt tension by loosening the two Belt-Tensioning Knobs.
•
Loosen the two Drive-Roller Shaft-Support Fasteners (Figure 20), located on the front of the Conveyor Frame,
enough to slightly move the Shaft Assembly.
