to be in-line with the larger pulley. Tighten the screw, place the belt onto the
pulleys, and test by spinning the large pulley by hand. If the belt stays on the
pulleys then it is aligned properly.
If the seamer does not turn on
, it may be because either the thermal overload
switch (located on the bottom of the motor) or circuit breaker (white button
located on the backside of the electrical box) has tripped. You will need to
remove the seamer’s back cover to access the electrical box and/or motor.
Pushing either of these reset buttons in will reset them.
One common cause for
them tripping is pulling both operation levers at the same time.
Note: older seamers use a fuse, rather than the circuit breaker. For seamers that
have power cables that connect to the outside of the seamer frame, the fuse is
located in a small holder between the cable and on/off switch. You will need a
small screwdriver to pry the fuse holder out of the switch body.
For seamers with the power cable that comes out of the box on the inner side of
the seamer, the fuse holder is located inside the electrical box. Unplug the seamer
and remove the two screws to access the inside of the box. The fuse is an in-line
design.
