Grizzly G0504 owner manual Replacing V-Belts, Adjusting Main Conveyor Table

Replacing V-Belts

If the belts deteriorate or break, they will need to be replaced. When replacing one belt, you should replace all of them at the same time to ensure uniform belt tension and save time.

To replace the V-belts:

1.Disconnect the resaw from the power source!

2.Read the previous subsection titled “Adjusting V-Belt Tension” to become familiar with the V-belt tension controls.

3.Adjust the motor mount nuts down as far as they will go.

4.Remove all three V-belts that connect the motor to the wheel pulley. (The easiest way to take the belts on/off is to roll them on/off the pulley one at a time. The belts can then be fit over the wheel.)

5.Remove and replace the hydraulic pump V-belt. (Refer to Page 35 for information on how to loosen/tension this V-belt.)

6.Replace the three V-belts as a matching set. Matching sets can be identified by the batch number on the belt—NOT to be confused with the size markings of the belt.

7.Tension the newly installed V-belts.

Adjusting Main

Conveyor Table

The main conveyor table height can be adjusted left-to-right and front-to-back to make the table parallel to the blade in both directions. This is an involved procedure that requires you to cut up a piece of test stock and make many repeat adjust- ments. Because of the complexity of this proce- dure, we will first give instructions on checking the table, so that you can be sure you need to perform the adjustment.

Before attempting these procedures, you need to have a perfectly squared up piece of stock that is as wide as possible and is at least two feet long. The wider the stock, the more accurate your procedure will be (we recommend using the maximum width that the resaw will allow). Also, you need to make sure that your blade is in good condition, the blade is tracked/tensioned properly and the blade guides are properly adjusted.

To check the main conveyor table alignment:

1.Cut a 1⁄4" slice off of your squared-up test stock.

2.Using a dial caliper, measure the thickness of the cut piece at all four corners and in even locations along the edges of the stock. As you take these measurements, write them directly on the stock, near the location where you took the measurement (see Figure 38).
