Belt Adjustment and Replacement:
•
Periodically check to be sure the belts are undamaged and that they are at the proper tension. Slipping belts will
overheat causing the cutting speed to be limited, shortening the life of the belts. Over-tensioned belts will shorten the
life of the belts & bearings.
•
On new equipment and after installing new belts, be certain to re-tension the belts after the first 4 hours of use. New
belts are stiff and require a break in period. Belts that become loose could slip and/or overheat.
•
Damaged, stretched or excessively worn belts should be replaced with a new complete set of belts.
IMPORTANT:
Belts must be replaced as a set, even if only one belt is showing wear.
Remove belt guard (3 bolts) and inspect belts. A straight edge is a
good tool to use to be certain sheaves are even and properly aligned.

To tension belts, back off blade head assembly
bearing bolts(4) and slide the blade head assembly
forward or back until belts are at proper tension.

NOTE:
Be sure to align blade after belt
adjustment or belt replacement
To remove belts, back off bearing mounting bolts (4),
slide blade head assembly forward or backward
until belts slide off the sheaves.Place a complete
set of new belts on the machine. Realign blade
head assembly then tighten bolts.Reinstall belt cover.

Clean Wheels on Rolling Table:
During daily visual inspection, check to be sure the wheels on the rolling
table move smoothly and that there is no debris in the wheel tracks.
