VERTICAL CONTACT TOASTER

MAINTENANCE (continued)

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.
