DISCONNECT THE AIR AND POWER FROM THE
MACHINE BEFORE YOU PROCEDE!
DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove all AC power and air to the Applicator.
2. Remove the lower stainless Cover. Rotate the 360a so the Drive Roll Assembly is facing the floor.
This orientation will aid you when it comes time to set angular alignment.
3. Remove the air lines interconnecting the two sides of the Applicator to gain access to the Drive
Belt.
4. Remove both Splice Plates that are mounted on either side of the Motor. Use a 5/32” Allen
wrench to remove the 12 screws holding the Splice Plates. There are enough remaining screws to
keep Rewind and Applicator Plates in place. Discard broken/worn Belt. Check Pulley integrity
and alignment – flanged Motor Pulley Hub should extend beyond the Motor Shaft approx. 1/16”.
The 3” Main Drive Pulley dimensioning, - 45/64” from the backside of the 360a Faceplate to the
inside edge of the Pulley. Place replacement Belt onto flanged Motor Pulley. Cautiously / slowly
walk the Belt over the Main Drive Pulley to keep from crimping / nicking the Belt’s edge.
5. Loosen the four (4) screws on the side of the Motor Mounting Plate using a 5/32” Allen wrench.
6. Push the Motor Mount Assembly upward and re-tighten mounting screws. Make sure the Motor
Assembly is 90 degrees from the Faceplate to insure proper angular alignment – *see note
7. Disengage Nip Roller and turn the Drive Roller. Make sure there is no severe catching as you
turn the Roller.
8. Check the belt tension. With light finger pressure on one side of the Belt, adjust the tension so
that the Belt deflects approximately 1/16” to 1/8”.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the Belts. This may result in shortened Motor life. If the Belts are too
loose, Label Stop may become erratic.
9. Replace the two Splice Plates.
10. Replace the air lines interconnecting the two sides of the Applicator.
11. Replace the stainless Cover and tighten the mounting screws.
12. Re-connect the AC power and air.
Note: One method to verify angular alignment is to use 2 pcs. of ½” wide X .025” thick banding
material/strapping cut approximately 8” long. Place each piece between the Faceplate and the Motor
Mount Side Frames. Place your hand on the end of the Motor and firmly push the Motor toward the
Faceplate – making sure the Motor Mount Side Frames are running parallel to the Faceplate. Verify
that the belt tension is correct – see step #8 above. Snug the 4 screws, remove banding strips, and
finish tightening the 4 screws.
