Adjusting/Replacing
Belts
Your G0612 uses belts to drive both the cutterhead
and the dust collection fan. When these belts are
not tensioned correctly, misaligned, or damaged
your jointer will not function properly.
This sub-section describes how to service these
belts.You can order replacement belts from
Grizzly. The part number for the drive belt is:
P0612070; the part number for the impeller belt
is P0612092.
Refer to the parts diagram in this manual when
fixing belt problems. If you need further assis-
tance from Grizzly, call our Tech Support at (570)
546-9663.
To realign or replace the cutterhead belt:
1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER FROM THE
POWER SOURCE!
2. While facing the rear of the jointer, tip it away
from you until it rests on the fence assem-
bly.
3. Remove the Phillips screws fastening the
motor cover to the jointer base. Lift the cover
off and set it aside.
4. Remove all dust and debris from the motor
and belt areas.
5. Inspect the cutterhead belt for proper tension,
alignment and condition.
Note: The belt is properly tensioned if it
deflects no more than
3 /

" when you press
down on middle of the belt with moderate
pressure from your thumb or forefinger.
The belt is properly aligned if it lies flat and
straight on the motor shaft and drive pulley.
Belt damage will be evident on inspection.
6. Loosen the four motor mounting cap
screws(see Figure 46), but do not remove
them.
7. Replace a damaged belt with a new one.
Realign and retension the belt.
8. Tighten the motor mounting screws and
replace the motor cover.
9. Test run the jointer. Repeat this procedure if
necessary. If repeating this procedure does
not solve the problem, call Grizzly Tech
Support.
To replace the fan belt:
1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER FROM THE
POWER SOURCE!
2. Remove the motor cover, set it aside and
check the belt for damage.
Note: It is highly unlikely that this belt will
ever be misaligned or out of tension. If it is,
the jointer needs to be serviced by a qualified
technician. Call our Tech Support for assis-
tance at (570) 546-9663.
3. If the belt is damaged, put one end of the new
belt on the fan pulley, then fit the other end
onto the drive pulley.
4. Replace the motor cover and secure it with
the Phillips screws.
