Belt Splicing System v.2.0
Align & Secure Belt Ends
For best results, use a 24" Splicing System and
align belts with drive bars face down.
To align and secure S8126 belt ends for splic-
ing, include these steps in the procedure.
Remove any Belt Tension
To minimize pull on the belt ends, ensure ade-
quate belt slack is provided on each side of the
Clamping Fixture.
Check for Shims and Belt Tabs
1. Ensure tape shims are on belt smooth edges.
2. Ensure there is one (1) Belt Tab between
each Pivoting Stud and Locating Pin. If Belt
Tabs are missing, see Use Thin Belt Tabs to
Secure Belt Ends on page 14-2.

Repeatedly Inspect Alignment
Check Parallel Alignment: Ensure the belt ends
are visibly parallel to the Grooved Deck when
first placing belts, aligning belt ends, and just
before splicing.
Check Perpendicular Alignment: Use a square
edge to ensure each belt edge is perpendicular
to the Cut Guide when placing belts, aligning
belt ends, and just before splicing.

Control Crank Handle During
Alignment
Gently open and close the Clamping Fixture to
inspect belt end alignment. Do not allow belt
ends to touch.

Normal clamping force can
cause belt end misalignment. Maintain control
of Crank Handle at all times.
