1. Set the Timing Belt
#47
roughly in place. Posi-
tion its loose ends out the back of the carriage
and with a loose loop out the front side of the
carriage (
A
).
2. Loop the belt over both timing belt pulleys, and
make sure that the teeth on the belt are “point-
ing in” so that they engage with the motors (
B
).
3. On the X Carriage, set the belt as shown (
C
),
looping around each of the four pulleys. Refer to
the diagram on the previous page if necessary.
Once we add the Y Carriage, the front loop will
go around the Y idler pulley, and the loose ends
will be anchored by the Tensioning Block.
