2.4.4 Refitting the Belt
1. Support the machine safely off the ground, fit the new belt over the idler end first.
2. With the idler fully retracted fit the belt over the sprocket. This may require the use of a
prybar to walk the belt into place.
3. Ensure the sprocket is meshed properly and the belt is seated correctly on the rollers.
4. Tighten the valve and slowly apply grease. The Idler will gradually move out to its working
position.
5. Set to the correct tension using the test methods mentioned in section (2.3)
6. Clean off any loose grease and refit tensioner cover plate.
7. Lower the machine back to the floor and check the machine by briefly tracking in each
direction checking for belt slip/ de-tracking.
8. If not tensioned correctly, repeat step 5.
The above procedure involves heavy components, use appropriate lifting equipment
to prevent injury to operators and bystanders.
