3.Loosen the conveyor
4.Remove the four bolts that attach the conveyor table to the base. Lift up the conveyor table and remove it from machine. Avoid tearing the belt on any edges underneath the conveyor bed.
5.Install new belt, and
NOTE: If the conveyor belt continually tracks to one side of the machine, reversing the belt on the conveyor bed may remedy the problem. To make sure the conveyor bed is not twisted, place a level on the conveyor bed. Level the machine if needed. If there is still a problem, proceed with the steps below:
Step 1: Check the conveyor drive roller and the driven roller to make sure they are parallel to the surface of the conveyor bed. To do this, first center the conveyor belt on the bed. Then lay a
Step 2: Now repeat Step 1 on the right (inboard) side of conveyor. Compare the measurements from side to side. If they are not equal, loosen one of the brackets that hold the roller in place. Tip this bracket until the distance between the roller and the
Checking Drum Alignment
The sanding drum must be aligned parallel to the conveyor bed for proper machine operation. The sanding drum comes preset from the factory. If a problem with the drum alignment occurs, follow the instructions below.
First inspect the alignment with a gauge of some kind. The following procedure uses a steel straight edge as a gauge.
1.Unplug sander from power source.
2.Open the dust cover and remove the abrasive strip from the drum.
3.Insert the gauge between the drum and conveyor bed at the outer end of the drum
(Figure 21). With the dust cover open, lower |
