3. Rivets should be fully set and curled on bottom side of splice.
4. Loop area of fastener is oval in shape and easily accepts
the hinge pin.
5. Fasteners are inset 1/4" (6.4 mm) from each belt edge.
6. Corners of trailing end of belt have been notched/chamfered.
Belt was not skived to remove rough top or diamond top impression cover.
Belt was skived too thin for Alligator Rivet fasteners.

skived belt thickness.

Belt Edges Do Not Line Up
Align belt edges with appropriate scribe marks on ART tool
based on your belt width.
• You may nd it easier to join splices together by laying
one laced belt end over the other belt and pressing them
together versus trying to mesh them end to end.
• Hitting center of belt directly behind ART tool helps to
release Pilot Nails, making it easier to remove laced belt
from the tool.
