Problem: The jars are slipping.
Cause: Jars are dirty; belts are positioned poorly, not enough friction between jars and rollers.
Solution: Clean and dry jars. Check belt positioning. Apply white surgical tape to the roller contact areas of the
jars. The belt can be twisted in a figure “8” to increase belt tension.
