Turn machine ON and observe conveyor belt
tension and tracking. Be patient, belt tracks
slowly.
2.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Always make conveyor belt adjustments at
infeed end to avoid re-adjusting conveyor
drive chain. Conveyor belt tracking
adjustments must be made while the
conveyor belt is running. Use extreme care
to ensure that clothing, hair or jewelry is
kept safely away from moving parts.
The conveyor belt tension and tracking
adjustments are controlled by the adjustment
bolts located at each end of the front and rear
conveyor rollers. If the conveyor belt is too loose
or tracks off to one side, it must be adjusted.
