ing screws, and remove the emergency stop
push-panel assembly.

ter-clockwise five turns, remove one roller
support, and slide the drum out of the table
assembly.

ers, bearings, and table for wear and replace
as required.
11. Install the new conveyor belt. Note: The belt
is non-directional.
12. Install the front roller, the roller support, and
turn both tracking adjustment bolts clock-
wise equally so the conveyor belt becomes

OVERTIGHTEN the belt.
13. With a helper, install the table from the rear
in a similar fashion as it was removed.
14. Install the table guides and the left and right
lower access panels.
15. Align the lead screw flanges with the marks
made in Step 6, and install the hex bolts.
16. Install the table height limit switches so the
upper switch clicks when the conveyor sur-
face is ⁄ " away from the sandpaper, and the

lower switch clicks when the conveyor table
is ⁄ " higher than its lowest position. Make

sure that you manually test your settings with
the hand wheel so you don't crash the table
if incorrectly set.

dampener washers, and mounting bracket.
18. Install the emergency stop push panel assem-
bly and the limit switch.
19. Start the conveyor motor and turn the con-
veyor tracking bolts as required until the
conveyor belt tracks straight without loading
up on one side of the table.
