Pulley Alignment
Pulley alignment is another important factor in power
transmission and belt life. The pulleys should be parallel
to each other and in the same plane (coplanar) for opti-
mum performance.
Each pulley can be adjusted by loosening the motor
mount bolts, sliding the motor in or out, and retightening
the fasteners to lock the motor pulley in place.
To align the pulleys, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!
2. Open the back cover and remove the belt guard.
3. Visually check the alignment of the two pulleys to
make sure that they are aligned and that the V-belts
are straight up and down (see Figure 67).
— If the pulleys are aligned, go to Step 8.
— If the pulleys are NOT aligned, do Steps 4–7.
4. Loosen the motor mount bolts shown in Figure 68.
5. Shift the motor horizontally as needed to align the
motor pulley with the cutterhead pulley.
6. Tighten the motor mount bolts.
7. Close the back cover and reinstall the belt guard.
