6. Pull the delivery ribbons around their
tracks until all the lacing clips are acces-
sible and aligned. Remove the connecting
pins from all the ribbons. Take each rib-
bon off the drive roll and let it hang from
the idler roll onto the protective covering.
7. Using a 3/16" bit, drill out the rivets hold-
ing each tracking tape in place.
8. Remove the old tape. Mark the vertical
center position of each tape with chalk or
a marker so that new tapes can be prop-
erly positioned.
9. To the side of the old rivet hole, mark its
location so the new rivet can be placed
correctly once the new tape is in place.
10. Scrape off any old cement which remains
on the roll using a scraper, coarse sand-
paper, or a wire brush. Wipe away any
remaining residue with a clean cloth.
11. To apply tape, unroll enough tape for each
placement. Remove the backing from the
tape, line up the tape with the vertical cen-
ter mark, and wrap the tape so that it goes
around at least twice against the rota-
tional direction of the roll (Figure 7-20).
12. Use a nail to pierce the tracking tape and
expose the rivet hole. Install a pop-rivet
into the hole, or a self tapping 3/16" screw,
if a pop rivet is not available.
13. Repeat Steps 11 and 12 for each tracking
tape location.
14. Remove the temporary protective cover-
ing.
15. Reconnect the delivery ribbons. Stagger
the positions of the lacing clips to give the
flatwork a smooth flow.
16. Reposition the delivery drive speed re-
ducer until the belt has proper tension.
Tighten the nuts. For more information
within this section go back to the
Delivery Section Drive Belt Tension
Adjustment procedure.
17. Verify the speed reducer pulley is in line
with the drive roll pulley so the belt will
run straight.
18. Adjust the ribbons. For more information
within this section, go back to the
Delivery Ribbon Tension Adjustment
procedure.

delivery ribbon drive roll at each
ribbon position.
