4.
Remove the belt guard shown in Figure 32
by removing the two Phillips head screws that
secure it.
5.
Roll the old belt off the pulleys.
6.
Loop the new belt completely around the motor
pulley but only halfway on the cutterhead pul-
ley.
Note: Make sure the ribs of the belt are
seated in the pulley indents in this process.
7.
While applying pressure to the belt with one
hand, slowly rotate the motor pulley.
8.
When the belt is fully on both pulleys, rotate
them several times to make sure the belt ribs
are properly seated in the pulley indents.
— If the belt ribs are not properly seated,
roll the belt off the pulleys and repeat
Steps 6–8 until they are.
9.
Replace the side panel, secure the top cover,
and re-install the elevation crank.
Adjusting Extension
Wing
Your planer is equipped with infeed and outfeed
extension wings that can fold up for machine
mobility. These wings must be level from side-to-
side with the main table to ensure planing accura-
cy and to help reduce the amount of end snipe.
To check/adjust the extension wings:
1.
DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!
Model G0505 (Mfg. since 4/04)
2.
Fold both extension wings down, then place
a straightedge across the wings and table, as
shown in Figure 33.
— If the extension wings are level with the
table, no further action is required.
— If the extension wings are not level with the
table, note which side of the wing is not
level, whether it is higher or lower than the
table, and by how much.
Adjustment
Bolt
Figure 33. Aligning extension wings.
3.
Loosen the jam nuts on the wing adjustment
bolts on either side of the wing (see the inset
of Figure 33), then loosen or tighten the
adjustment bolts for the amount needed.
Note: Loosening an adjustment bolt will raise
that side of the wing, and tightening it will
lower that side.
4.
Lower the wing and recheck the alignment.
— If the wing is not level with the main table,
repeat Steps 3–4 until it is.
5.
When the wings are properly aligned, re-
tighten the jam nuts that were loosened.
