Measure The Conveyor Belt Chains For Stretch; Mcdonald's - A.J.Antunes VCT-250 Manual

Measure the Conveyor belt Chains for
stretch
After a period of time, the Conveyor Belt Chain links
wear and the conveyor will stretch. This may cause
the conveyor to jam as it rotates on the sprockets or
possibly skip on the sprockets. This is easily remedied
by removing one or more links from each side of the
conveyor.
Note: this periodic adjustment not covered
under warranty. it is a user responsibility.
. Remove the front and rear Conveyor Covers and
set the Bun Thickness Compression Controls to
"6 & F".
2. Facing the heel/club side (front), locate the
approximate center point of the Conveyor Belt
Chain.
3. Pull the Conveyor Belt Chain away from the edge
of the toaster.
4. Stand a U.S. Quarter coin (5/6" (2.5 cm)
horizontally between the chain and the frame
(Figure 2).
Note: the coin should fit securely between the
chain and the frame.
5. If the gap is significantly wider than the coin (one
and a half times as large) a small link will have to
be removed from the Conveyor Belt Chain.
6. Disconnect the Conveyor Belt Chain by squeez-
ing any two links together and unhooking both
ends of one link (Figure 3).
Note: Needle nose pliers may be required.
7. To shorten a stretched Conveyor Belt Chain,
remove one /2" link from the Conveyor Belt
chain.
8. Reconnect by hooking both ends of the Conveyor
Belt Chain back together and measure again
accordingly.
Note: if the chain is too short/tight to be reas-
sembled, remove an additional 1/2" link and install
a 3/4" link. this will shorten the belt 1/4" overall.
9. Reassemble the Conveyor Belt Chain and repeat
the measurement.
