Quit Maker Pro 18 VERSA
7. Adjusting the Motor Drive/Timing Belt Tension
The Quilt Maker Pro 18 VERSA machine utilizes a
single motor drive/timing belt system.
Tools required: 3 mm handle hex tool, 0. 5 mm feeler
gauge, 8 mm open end wrench Tools required: 4 mm
handle hex tool
Check:
With the machine front cover removed. Check the belt
tension for tautness by pressing it with the index finger
(Figures
7.1–7.2)
. Press the vertical center of the belt with approximately
2 lbs of pressure. The belt should deflect about ½”. Proper
belt tension provides for some belt flexibility under light finger
pressure, but should not be so tight as to bind the machine.
Double-check the tension by rotating and rocking the hand wheel.
Confirm that there is no backlash or play between the belt teeth
and any of the driven components. Confirm also that there is an
immediate transfer of motion to all components driven by the
belt, from the handwheel to the hook.
Important:
Do not over-tighten the belt as this will make the
machine too tight, the handwheel more difficult to turn, create
more belt noise, and also cause other undesirable issues.
If a correction is necessary:
• Insert a 4 mm handle hex tool through the hole in the main
frame casting
(Figure 7.2)
. Loosen the socket-head belt tensioner
screw. Adjust the belt tensioner by pressing down on the
tensioner and while holding down on the tensioner re-tightening
the belt tensioner screw
(Figure 7.2).
• Note: This adjustment can only be made with the front cover off
so the tensioner can be pressed down to set proper belt tension.
Important: Do not attempt to set belt tension with the front
cover on as improper
belt tension will result.
Important Note:
Ensure that the special washer with step is
down into the tensioner bracket slot and flat, not tilted, when
tightened, so the tensioner will not slip, resulting in a loose belt
(
Figures 7.3-7.6
).
