Dedoes Alliance - Replace Alliance Machine Belt

How to replace a belt
During the life of your Alliance machine it may be necessary to replace the belt
in one of your mixing shelves. The Alliance machine ulizes only one belt per
shelf and the same size belt for each shelf. The Alliance belt is a white cog belt.
To determine which size belt you will need just count how many cans fit on one
shelf:
12 Quart cans/8 Gallon cans per shelf = PN# P1729 1.7M Alliance Belt
18 Quart cans/12 Gallon cans per shelf = PN# P1730 2.4M Alliance Belt
To replace the belt:
1. Turn off power to your Alliance mixing machine.
2. Remove any cans on the shelf that needs the new belt.
3. Remove the sha guard and li the shelf cover of that shelf to access the
drive system. (See How to repair the Alliance machine without
disassembling it”) It is unnecessary to remove the drive sha.
4. Loosen the shoulder bolt and locknut of the le pulley of the drive system to
loosen the tension on the belt.
5. Carefully remove the loosened belt from the drive system.
6. Clean the interior of the shelf from dirt and debris.
(This may be a good me to lubricate your mix shelf as well. See How to
lubricate your Alliance machine.)
7. Install the new belt with the cogs facing outward while following the belt
path illustrated to the right.
8. Slide the bolt and pulley in the sloed hole to the le unl the belt tension is
adjusted and ghten the locknut and bolt.
The Alliance machine drive belts do NOT require a lot of tension to operate
properly. The correct installaon of the belt SHOULD have some slack along the
back of the shelf.
Cauon: Do not over tension the belt. Excessive belt tension will cause noise or
problems with the operaon of the machine.
