The top cover is shown in Figure 11 and below along with the side cover. Use the Allen Key to turn the bolt indicated below to release the side cover.
8.1 BELT TENSION SEE FIGURE 15 After the power has been disconnected and the covers are opened, grinding belt tension is adjusted by using the handle located on the motor side of the machine. It's location is shown below. Spring tension is used to keep the belt tight.
8.2 CHANGING THE ROLLER SEE FIGURE 16 After the grinding belt is removed, the roller can be changed. CAUTION: WEAR SAFETY GLOVES!! WITH INTENSIVE USE THE ROLLER CAN BECOME EXTREMELY HOT. Below are a couple of images that show how the roller mounts to the machine. Each roller has (2) bearings - One on each end.
Page 33
SEE FIGURE 17 Below is an exploded view of the roller and related parts. To remove roller, grasp roller and pull it out of the holder. Before the new grinding roller is installed, the recesses of the support for the grinding roller must be cleaned thoroughly!! To install roller, align the roller with the holder and push it in.
8.3 SETTING BELT TENSION SEE FIGURE 18 After changing the roller the belt can be installed. Slide the grinding belt over the motor pulley and the grinding roller. Make sure it is installed so it rotates in the right direction. NOTE: If a roller smaller than 30mm (1-3/16") diameter is being used, use a grinding belt that has been "broken in"...
8.4 SETTING BELT TRACKING After changing the roller and belt and tensioning it properly, The next thing is to check the tracking of the belt. You want the belt to run so it's as centered on the rollers as it can be. To begin, make sure the machine is still Disconnected From Power.
8.5 ADJUSTMENT OF GRINDING ROLLER SEE FIGURE 20 The center of the grinding roller must be at the same height as the center of the tubing. This is set at the factory and generally doesn't need to be adjusted. If the center of the tubing isn't centered on the grinding roller it can be adjusted with the (2) bolts that are aligned vertically on the motor side of the machine - See Below.
