Conveyor Belt Maintenance
•
Checking Belt Tension
When loaded with material, the conveyor belt must not slip, i.e. stand still when material is loaded. If the
belt slips, it must be tightened. Contact the Formax Service Department for assistance.
•
Checking Belt for Wear
The upper surface of the conveyor belt can become worn over time. The belt must be replaced when
the woven fabric inlay becomes visible. Contact the Formax Service Department for assistance.
•
Cleaning the Conveyor Belt area
The conveyor belt area must be cleaned once a month, or as needed to maintain optimal performance.
1. Switch off the shredder and unplug from wall outlet.
2. Remove the covers on both sides, revealing the cleaning openings in the conveyor belt area.
3. Use compressed air to blow out particles, or a vacuum to remove dirt and dust.
4. Re-install both side covers.
NOTE: Paper clips in the shredded materials may increase the frequency of cleaning necessary, and may
become caught in the sides of the belt.
Removing & Reinstalling Side Covers
Each side cover is attached by four Phillips head screws.
1. To remove a cover, insert screwdriver through access holes (Fig. 4),
and remove screws.
NOTE: It is easier to remove the lower two screws fi rst, then the top
two. When reinstalling the cover, install top screws fi rst, then lower.

NOTE: The maintenance procedures
which follow should be performed only
by authorized and trained technicians.
