CONVEYOR BELT TENSION
The conveyor belt of the Ultra-Max Gas 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
qualified 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.
