Tightening the feed belt
The feed belt should not slip when loaded with material.
• Switch off the shredder.
• Remove the feeding table and the left and
right side covers.
• Loosen the hexagon nuts (1) of the tension roll on the
left and right side.
• Loosen the lock nuts (2) of the tensioning bolts (3).
• Tighten the feed belt evenly using the tensioning
bolts.
Note:
Only tighten the feed belt until it stops slipping.
The feed belt bearing may be damaged if it is
tightened too much.
• Tighten the hex nuts on the snub roller and
the lock nuts on the tensioning bolts again.
Reinstall the covers and the table.
You must check that the feed belt runs
straight:
• Switch on the shredder and let it run for
10 minutes. During this time, the feed belt
must run in the middle of the snub roller. If it
slips to the left or right edge, you must alter
the setting of the snub roller.
Checking the feed belt for wear
The surface of the feed belt can become worn after long
periods of use. If you can see the fabric inlay in the belt, it
must be replaced. Please notify our customer service.
