CONVEYOR BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
The conveyor belting tension must be adjusted over time. This is a result of natural relaxing of the belt,
caused by general use and heat expansion and contraction caused by the oven cooking process. To make the
task of adjustment easier, as of January 2022, the left hand side (non-drive side) of the conveyor belt frame
incorporates adjustment brackets, which can be adjusted in half (½) inch increments.

BOLT A
(LOCKING BOLT)
Adjustment SECTION A is for use with ovens equipped with a standard (non-split) belt. Adjustment SECTION B
is for use with ovens equipped with a split belt.
1. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen and remove BOLT A (Locking Bolt). RETAIN for future use.
2. Loosen BOLT B enough so that shaft adjuster plate can be moved. DO NOT remove BOLT B entirely.
3. Repeat this process on the opposing side of the conveyor shaft(s).
4. Push the adjuster plate to the next adjustment position, align and install the previously removed BOLT A.
DO NOT over tighten.
5. Tighten BOLT B to secure adjustment plate position. DO NOT over tighten.
6. Repeat this process on the opposing side of the conveyor shaft(s).
BOLT B
The intention of this system is to reduce the frequency of belt linkage removal, it does not
eliminate link removal. If the adjustment allowance has been expended and the belt has
become slack, the adjustment position must be returned to the most relaxed position (factory
setting as shown above) and belt link removal undertaken, see BELT LINK REMOVAL for
further instructions.
NOTICE
FIGURE 3-28 FIGURE 3-29
SPLIT-BELT conveyors require
two (2) white nylon bushings
per side. These bushings have
wider sections that must face one
another for correct shaft spacing
and chain tensioning.
