CONVEYOR BELT TENSION
The conveyor belt of the Ultra-Max Conveyor Oven does
not have a tension adjustment. If the belt becomes too
loose, a link will have to be removed to tighten. A belt
that is too tight will also cause operational problems due
to excessive drag. We suggest that you have a quali
fi
ed
service technician perform this adjustment.
CAUTION
Careful consideration should be exercised prior
to removing a belt link because a belt that is
too tight will impede the smooth operation of
the conveyor.
CONVEYOR BELT LINK REMOVAL
An entire link can be removed with the conveyor assembly
either in or out of the oven. This may be necessary as
the belt stretches after continuous use. Following are
the necessary steps for removing links:
1. Move the splice clips to either end of the oven for
easy access.
2. Unhook the splice clips using long nose pliers.
3. Unhook the full link to be removed and slide it out.
Do not discard the link removed as it may be used
for making spare splice clips.
4. Reconnect the inside splice clips.
5. Reconnect the outside splice clips.
6. Replace all parts removed from the oven.
7. Straighten any bent wires to ensure smooth sprocket
engagement.

Remove the outside master links on the right and left
sides of the conveyor belt. Remove the center splice
clips next.
Unhook the end loop and pull up on the link section.
Save this link as it may be used for making splice
clips.
Check the orientation of the splice clips (the hooks
should be up). The belt shown is the top section,
ready for left-to-right travel.
