Tensioning.Conveyor.Belt
The conveyor belt will stretch when new and will
eventually need to be tensioned. This is most obvious if
the conveyor belt starts slipping on the rollers.
When you tension the conveyor belt, focus on adjusting
the tensioning bolts in even increments. Adjusting one
side more than the other will cause tracking problems,
which will require you to make additional adjustments to
get the sander tracking correctly again.
