Changing Sanding Belt - Grizzly G1014Z Owner's Manual

Changing Sanding
Belt
Some sanding belts are designed to sand in
only one direction and will have a direction indi-
cated on the back of the belt. The Model G1014Z/
G1014ZX is designed so that the sanding belt
travels clockwise as viewed from the side with the
quick release tension lever.
To change the sanding belt:
1.
DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER!
2. Move the quick release lever away from the
motor to release the belt tension.
3.
Remove the idler roller guard and back stop.
4. Remove the belt from the rollers and sanding
belt frame.
5.
Install a new sanding belt onto the idler and
drive rollers, making sure the arrows on the
bottom of the belt face the front of the sander,
as shown in Figure 70.
