Conveyor Belt Chains (Every 3 to 6 months)

MEASURING CONVEYOR BELTS CHAINS
1. Set the compression knobs to 6 and F.
2. Open the Front Conveyor Cover and locate the
approximate center point of the Conveyor Chain.
3. Pull the Conveyor Belt Chain away from the edge
of the toaster.
4. Stand a U.S. Dime 11/16" (18 mm) coin on end
between the frame and the chain (Figure 11).
5. If the gap is significantly than the coin, adjust the
Conveyor Belt Chain as described below.
6. Use the same steps to check the rear Conveyor
Chain.

ADJUSTING CONVEYOR BELT CHAINS

After a time, the Conveyor Chain links will wear and
the Conveyor Belt chain will stretch, eventually skipping
on the sprockets. This is easily remedied by removing
one or more conveyor links from each side of the belt.
There are two 1/2" small links on each side of the con-
veyor belt. The others are large, 3/4" long (Figure 12).
1. Turn the Rocker Switch off, unplug the power
cord, and allow the unit to cool.
2. Remove the Bun Feeder and Heat Shield and set
the Compression Control Knobs to 6 and F.
3. Open both Conveyor Covers and pull the Belt
Wrap Pin out of the "zipper" (Figure 8).
4. Remove and the Belt Wrap(s).
5. Disconnect the Conveyor Belt Chain by squeez-
ing any two links together and unhooking both
ends of one link (Figure 12).
3. To shorten a stretched Conveyor Belt Chain,
remove one 1/2" link from the belt.
4. Reassemble the Conveyor Belt Chain onto the
sprockets as described below.
NOTE: If the belt is too short to be reassembled,
remove an additional 1/2" small link and install a
3/4" large link. This will shorten the belt 1/4" over-
all.
