Belt Service

Over time, belts will stretch and wear. To maintain
efficient power transfer to the blades, make sure
the belts are properly tensioned and in good con-
dition. If belts show any glazing, fraying, or crack-
ing, replace them.
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.

Tensioning Scoring Motor Belt

Proper tension of the scoring motor flat belt is
automatically maintained by a torsion spring on
the motor pivot rod (see Figure 148).

Replacing Scoring Motor Belt

To replace the scoring motor belt, have an assis-
tant lift the scoring motor up to relieve the belt ten-
sion, then replace the belt with a new one. When
the motor is lowered, proper belt tension will be
applied by the torsion spring.
The scoring motor belt is a standard off-the-shelf
part and can be purchased from Grizzly using part
#P07641012.
