Maintenance
Cau�on: Disconnect the electrical power before performing any service on the machine.
LUBRICATION

your paint manufacturer.

SHELF BELT ADJUSTMENT
A�en�on must be paid to the tension of the belt. Normal use will cause the belt to stretch. Adjustment slots for the power head belt are located at each idler. To adjust the
belt, loosen the idler, and slide the idler closer to the center of the power head un�l the tension is correct. Then re �ghten the idler.
MOTOR BELT ADJUSTMENT
The Motor Belt is properly tensioned at factory standards. Op�mal tension is achieved when the motor mount plate is parallel to the le� side panel.
NOTE: Over tensioning the motor belt will cause damage to the belt if the motor mount is not parallel to the le� side panel.
IMPORTANT: NEW BELTS SHOULD BE CHECKED AND ADJUSTED AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF OPERATION AS NECESSARY.
