2. Roll the belt over the motor hub, then over the elevation
pulley. Discard the old belt.
3. Carefully work the new belt around the elevation pulley,
between the rollers, and around the motor hub. Ensure
that the teeth are on the inside of the belt. Once the belt is
in place, work it back and forth to ensure that the belt is
aligned and the teeth are engaged with the pulley.
4. Loosen the #8-32 screws and slide the motor downward
until the belt is tight around the motor hub and the
elevation pulley. Some readjustment may be necessary if the
belt tension results in excessive vibration.
