14. Snug the sleeve jam nuts against the spring sleeves on each side. Do not overtighten or the ends
of the spring sleeves can be damaged.
15. Reinstall the takeup guards and the yellow access panels that were removed in section 5.4.1.
16. Once the conveyor is running, check belt tracking through the drive. If adjustments are
necessary, it is recommended to adjust the tracking bracket on the non-motor side only for easier
access.
17. If the belt is not centered when it enters at the drive pulley, it will be necessary to fix the belt
tracking upstream, typically at the infeed tail.
18. If the belt is entering the drive pulley centered, but is tracking off at the takeup pulley, then adjust
the drive snub roller.
Verify that the takeup is square with the drive frame before adjusting the drive snub
roller. Using the snub roller to "fight" against an out-of-square takeup can result in
unstable tracking and accelerated belt wear.
19. If the belt is tracking off where it exits the drive, then adjust the non-crowned (lower) routing roller.
The crowned (upper) routing roller should be set square to the drive frame.
