Conveyor Height

 

Feed Belt Speed

 

 

 

 

 

 

Conveyor height is controlled by turning the handwheel shown in Figure 13. A scale is locat- ed near the handwheel for gauging conveyor movement. The scale is marked in millimeters and inches. Figure 14 demonstrates how the handwheel movement affects the conveyor.

After you have moved the conveyor to the desired height, lock it in place with the conveyor lock han- dle shown in Figure 13.

The feed belt motor (shown in Figure 15 with the cover removed) controls the speed of the feed belt. The Model G9983 features speeds of 13.1 FPM and 16.4 FPM.

Figure 14. This illustration shows how the handwheel moves the conveyor.

To change feed belt speeds:

1.Unplug the sander!

2.Remove the cap screw that secures the feed belt motor cover.

3.Loosen the for motor mount bolts so that the motor will slide up enough to get the chain off the sprockets.

4.Determine which speed is best for your appli- cation and place the chain on either set of the sprockets shown in Figure 15.

5.Replace the motor cover and secure it with the cap screw.
