ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Leveling
To adjust the machine leveling follow this procedure:
1 Locate the leveling screw. See Figure 12.
2 Tighten the screw (compress the leveling spring) to sand heavier on
drive belt side of sanding drum.
3 Loosen the leveling screw (relax the leveling spring) to sand heavier
on the side opposite the drive belts.
Condition - Pad creates ridges on both edges or a “hop” is experienced: Rotate both adjusting
screws equal amounts clockwise. Tighten locknuts and test on a piece of plywood. Repeat
procedure until condition is corrected. We recommend you not exceed 1/8 rotation for each
attempt.
Condition - Pad creates a ridge on the tip of the pad: Rotate both adjusting screws counter
clockwise, tighten locknuts and test. Repeat procedure until condition is corrected. Use only
1/8 rotation for each attempt.
Condition - Pad creates a ridge on only one side of the pad: Either rotate the adjusting screw
of the side eected clockwise or rotate the adjusting screw opposite counterclockwise,
depending on whether the ridge terminates beyond the tip of the pad or prior to it. If it is
prior to the tip, adjust the side eected, otherwise adjust the opposite side.
Dust Shoe
To adjust the dust shoe follow this procedure:
1 Disconnect machine from power supply.
2 Loosen the four screws fastening the dust shoe to the chassis.
3 Adjust the dust shoe towards the drum to improve recovery of ne particles.
4 Adjust the dust shoe away from the drum to improve recovery of coarse particles.
5 Align the dust shoe with the drum and tighten screws. See Figure 12b.
CAUTION:
Failure to perform maintenance at recommended intervals may
void warrant y.
Sanding Chamber
Periodically blow out the sanding chamber to prevent large
accumulations of debris which could interfere with the performance of
the dust recovery system.
Wheels
Periodically remove the debris from the truck and caster wheels.
Debris can cause waves on a sanded surface.
Dust Bag
Remove the dust bag from the machine and shake it thoroughly to
remove the sanding dust from the dust bag. Turn the dust bag inside
out and machine wash in cold water to prevent pore blockage and loss
of dust recovery.
Drive Belt
Periodically check the drive belts for broken cogs or frayed edges.
Frayed edges may indicate poor tracking. Realign aected belt.
Bearings
Periodically check the bearings for wear or damage according to the
following schedule.
Arbor shaft: Re-lubricate every 150 hrs. w/.10 oz. of a NLGI grade 2,
-300F (-34.4C) to 2500F (121.1C), 58-75 SUS at 2100 F (98.8C), grease
lubricant.
Motor shaft: After 1st 5000 hrs.
Fan shaft : After rst 1500 hrs.
CAUTION:
Maintenance and repairs performed by unauthorized personnel
could result in damage or injury. Maintenance and repairs
performed by unauthorized personnel will void your warranty.
Failure to perform maintenance at recommended intervals may
void warrant y.
