Grizzly Guide to Adjusting Conveyor Belt on Drum Sanders

Conveyor Belt

The conveyor belt tension and tracking adjust- ments are controlled by the adjustment bolts located at each end of the front and rear convey- or rollers. If the conveyor belt is too loose or tracks off to one side, adjust as follows:

1.If the conveyor belt is slipping, turn both infeed adjustment bolts counter-clockwise.

2.If the conveyor belt tracks toward the right side, turn the adjustment bolt located at the infeed right corner. Turning this bolt counter- clockwise will make the sanding belt move to the left.

3.After you have made the adjustment, run the machine for approximately 15 minutes to observe the tracking adjustment you made. Be patient, the belt tracks slow.

4.If the conveyor belt tracks too far to the left, loosen the adjustment bolt. Turning this bolt clockwise will move the sanding belt to the right.

Always make adjustments at the infeed end to avoid re-adjusting conveyor drive chain. Conveyor belt tracking adjustments must be made while the conveyor belt is running. Use extreme care to ensure that clothing, hair or jewelry is kept safely away from mov- ing parts.
