The belts may be running at uequal speeds.
Check all the belt path pulleys and bearings for
damage and wear. Check the pressure between
the V pulleys, particularly the two just before

pressure. Adjust and / or replace the orange
runner clamp tubes. Check the brake for
proper operation. Clean or replace the air
valve or brake. Adjust the jaws inline with the

the alignment of the seal pad and belt path
centerline. The seal pad should not protrude
beyond the centerline. Level and plumb the
film roll platter.
