SERVICING CONVEYOR BELTS
After a period of time, the conveyor belt links will wear
and the conveyor belt will stretch. This will eventually
cause the conveyor to jam as it rotates on the sprock-
ets. This is easily remedied by removing one or more
conveyor links from each side of the belt.
There are four 1/2” pitch links on each conveyor belt.
The rest of the links are 3/4”.
1. Remove conveyor belt as described previously on
page 10.
2. To shorten a stretched conveyor belt, remove one
1/2” link from the belt.
3. Reassemble the belt to the sprockets as
described below.
NOTE: If the belt is too short (tight) to be reas-
sembled, remove an additional 1/2” link and install
a 3/4” link. This will make the conveyor belt 1/4”
shorter and enable it to be reassembled.
IMPORTANT: This is not covered under warranty.
It is a user responsibility.
REPLACING CONVEYOR BELTS
1. Remove old conveyor belt as described previ-
ously on page 10.
2. Place replacement conveyor belt on top sprock-
ets. Check for correct positioning (Figure 8).
NOTE: Install conveyor belt so that the ends of the
hooks are facing down.
3. Wrap conveyor belt around lower sprockets and
connect by hooking both ends of the belt back
together. A needle-nose pliers may be required.
4. Re-intall front and rear conveyor covers, release
sheet and heat shield.
