Stainless Steel Conveyor Belts

WARNING
Turn the unit off, disconnect the power source
and allow the unit to cool down before performing
any service or maintenance on the unit.
SERVICING CONVEYOR BELTS
After a period of time, the conveyor links will wear and
the conveyor belt will stretch, eventually causing buns
to stick. This is easily remedied by removing one or
more conveyor links from each side of the belt. There
are four 1/2" small links on each side of the conveyor
belt. The rest of the links are large, 3/4" long (Figure
16).
REMOVE CONVEYOR BELTS
1. Perform steps 1 - 4 under Replacing Belt Wraps
on the previous page.
2. Disconnect the conveyor belt by squeezing any
two links together and unhooking both ends of
one link (Figure 16).
3. To shorten a stretched conveyor belt, remove one
1/2" link from the belt.
4. Reassemble the belt to the sprockets as
described below.
NOTE: If the belt is too short to be reassembled,
remove an additional 1/2" small link and install a 3/4"
large link. This will shorten the belt 1/4" overall. See
Figure 16 for links part numbers.
REPLACING CONVEYOR BELTS
1. Remove old conveyor belt as described previ-
ously on this page.
2. Place replacement conveyor belt on top sprock-
ets. Check for correct positioning (Figure 16).
NOTE: Install conveyor belt so that the ends of the
hooks are facing down (Figure 16).
3. Wrap conveyor belt around lower sprockets and
connect by hooking both ends of the belt back
together.
4. Perform steps 5 - 11 under Replacing Belt Wraps
(previous page).
NOTE: Make sure the conveyor belt is under the upper
support rod and over the lower support rod.
