Drum Alignment The sanding drum must be aligned parallel to the conveyor table for proper machine operation. The sanding drum has been pre-aligned at the factory and should not require immediate adjustment, although it is recommended that you confirm the alignment before operating the sander.
Fine-Tuning Drum Alignment The 22-44 Pro-3 is equipped with a drum adjuster mechanism that allows easy fine tuning or changing of drum alignment without repeating the intial drum alignment procedure. 1. Raise drum adjustment lever (Figure 23) so that it just engages the side of drum carriage leg.
Trackers The sander comes equipped with “Trackers”, ceramic guides that reduce the amount of adjustments needed to keep the conveyor belt tracked (centered) on the conveyor bed (see Figure 26). These guides have a magnetic backing to keep them in place. If a Tracker wears through, it can be reversed by turning it over.
Adjusting Table Supports 1. If the conveyor table does not rise and lower easily, measure the distance between the top of the base column support and the bottom of the table support on both the inboard and the outboard side of the machine. See Figures 29 and 30.
Rotating Drum Bearings Bearings should be replaced when they allow excessive play of the drum, make excessive noise or otherwise indicate failure. If clicking noises in the bearings are a problem, rotating may be a solution instead of replacement, as follows: 1.
