NEVER PUT ANY PART OF YOUR BODY NEAR THE MOVING BELT.
Step 2 – Run conveyor to determine which way the belt
is tracking.
Step 3 – Adjust bottom guide roller closest to machine.
Think of tracking a belt like riding a bicycle—the
forward roller is the handlebar. The belt will adjust
according to the direction in which you move the
forward roller.
Due to slippage and roller dynamics there is a limited amount of
adjustment that can be made. It is important that all the rollers
are spinning. If the roller stops spinning adjust it back to the point
it spins. Then move to the next roller and continue the
adjustment process.
Step 4 – Adjust middle guide roller the same as above if
needed.
The third roller is adjustable but should not need to be adjusted
except for extreme cases.
