Drive bars snagging on Clamping Fixture
or C- or F-clamps

Wrong Cut Guide used Repeat belt end preparation using the blue S8026 Cut Guide for 26 mm pitch belt or red S8050
Cut Guide for 50 mm pitch belt.
Belt end edges are offset (horizontal misalignment)
Ends different widths • If belt end widths are within 1/8" (3 mm) of each other, center the narrow belt end across
from the wide belt end.
• If belt end widths are more than 1/8" (3 mm) different from each other, contact Intralox Tech-
nical Support.
Slight dimension differences, within 1/16" (1.5 mm) on each edge
(or 1/8" (3 mm) total belt width), are acceptable when splicing belts.
