HOW TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE FEED BELT

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

1.Disconnect the DC Motor Quick Connect. (Fig. 31).

2.Use a 1/4" hex wrench to remove the four table mounting bolts, lockwashers and flange nuts, two of which are shown at

(A)Fig. 32.

3.Remove the table (B) Fig. 33 and place it on a firm supporting surface.

4.Loosen the two socket-head set bolts (C) Fig. 34 equally on each side of the table until the belt tension is relieved.

NOTE: Count the number of turns as you loosen the bolts.

5.Slide the feed belt (A) Fig. 35 off of the table (B). Place the new feed belt on the table and re-apply slight tension to the feed belt roller by turning two bolts (C) Fig. 34. Tighten both bolts an equal amount until at least one side of the belt starts to get tight.

NOTE: The number of turns to tighten should be less than the number loosened in STEP 4.

6.Attach the table (B) Fig. 35 to the support plate and adjust the tension and tracking on the feed belt. Refer to section
