remainder of the belt along the rail length toward the motor
unit and around the sprocket (Figure 2). The sprocket teeth
must engage the belt.

ASSEMBLY STEP 5

Tighten the Belt

1. By hand, thread the spring trolley nut on the threaded shaft
until it is finger tight against the trolley. Do not use any tools.
Remove the screwdriver.
2. Insert a flathead screwdriver tip into one of the nut ring slots
and brace it firmly against the trolley.
3. Tighten the spring trolley nut with an adjustable wrench or a
7/16" open end wrench about a quarter turn until the spring
releases and snaps the nut ring against the trolley. This sets
the spring to optimum belt tension.
