Note.
The machine has had all its functions calibrated at the factory, but due to
shipping conditions, some movement may have taken place. This is
unavoidable and it is therefore recommended that the following checks are
made prior to starting production. As the machine is used some functions may
move, and it is therefore good practice to become
know the process for
adjusting the machine prior to production.

Motor tension nuts
The drive belts should be
checked after running the
machine for approximately
10 hours. The belts bed into
the pulleys and will slacken
off slightly. If they are not
adjusted slippage may accrue and this will cause early
belt failure. There should be a 3/16” deflection when the
belt is pressed with moderate finger pressure.
To increase the tension on the belts, loosen the lower nuts
and tighten the upper nuts. Ensure that both left and right
hand nuts are tensioned the same amount.
Note.
To access the drive belts, remove the Belt guard.
