REMOVING THE PERF SHAFT
(Changing the position of the lower assemblies)
Turn the power off and unplug the machine. You may want to remove the upper
assemblies before you begin to get them out of the way as the rollers are spring loaded and
will give pressure on the lower rollers. Loosen the set screws on all of the lower assemblies.
Loosen the 2 set screws on the bearing hub located on the inside of the operator side frame
as shown below.
Next, remove the non-operator side cover. DO NOT REMOVE ANY PULLEY'S!
Loosen the screws on the belt tensioned idler pulley (as shown below).
You do not need to remove the screws as loosening them will allow enough movement
to remove the belt. Remove the belt. Now remove the belt from the motor by turning
the pulley by hand and walking the belt off the pulley with no flanges on the perf shaft.
Once removed there should be no more belts on the perf shaft and the perf shaft
should slide out easily. Slide the perf shaft out the pulley side 6-8 inches the allow it to
rest on the hole in the frame.
It is only necessary to slide the shaft out about 6 to 8 inches. With the shaft slid to the
side, you can access the lower hubs and reconfigure them as needed from under the
front of the machine. After you have configured the lower shaft, replace the shaft into
its bearing and tighten the set screws on the bearing hub. The shaft should be tight
and not be able to move side to side. With both drive belts back in position, re-tension
the belt idler and tighten while applying constant firm pressure on the belts by pushing
down on the tops of the brackets with the large T-handle wrench supplied. Replace
cover. Align upper assemblies accordingly.
