4.1.1.3.Replacing the Drive Belt
Follow the procedures described previously for removing the dropping chamber
cover.
Loosen the belt tension with the tension adjustment set screw located above the
top pulley assembly on the top rod ring. The belt is clamped to the back of the
cart with two socket head screws. Remove the clamp and slide the ends of the
belt off the dowel pin. Remove the belt.
Before installing a new belt, clean both of the pulleys with acetone or alcohol on a
cotton swab. Wipe the new belt with acetone or alcohol to remove any traces of
oil or fingerprints.
Thread new belt around upper and lower pulleys, and place ends over the dowel
pin. A wire with a small hook works well to assist in threading the belt around
the lower drive pulley.
Replace belt clamp, but do not fully tighten. Tension belt while manually
moving the cart up and down to allow the belt to locate its natural position on
the pulleys, then tighten the belt clamp screws.
NOTE: The drive belt may not run exactly in the center of the pulley. This is
normal, but there should be a minimum clearance of 1 mm between the belt and
the side walls of the pulley housing (yoke).
