Parts Replacement 9-7
To install a conveyor belt:
CAUTION! This procedure should only be performed by a trained service technician.
1. Using isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth or cotton swabs, clean all metal surfaces that make
contact with the belt, including pulleys and rails.
2. Compare the new belt to the one remaining on the other rail to determine its proper
orientation.
3. Loop the belt around the pulley tire at one end of the conveyor rail and extend it toward the
other end. See
13HFigure 9-2.
" NOTE If you are installing the belt by yourself, it may be helpful to hold the end of the
belt in place by attaching it to the conveyor rail with a tie wrap or rubber band.
4. Loop the conveyor belt around the two pulley tires and the belt drive pulley as shown in
14HFigure 9-2.
5. Continue to extend the belt and loop it onto the pulley tire at the far end of the conveyor rail.
If you cannot get the belt onto the pulley tire, proceed as follows:
a. Loosen the four belt tensioner screws.
b. Move the Motor Mount Tensioner up until the belt is looped over the pulley.
c. Hold the pulley tire and belt securely in place while tightening the screws with a 4 mm
hex key. Torque the screws to 87 in-lbs (1.0 kg-m).
6. If used, remove the tie wrap or rubber band securing the conveyor belt to the end of the
conveyor rail.
7. Reinstall any removed stop pins to their former positions.
8. When both conveyor belts have been replaced, power on the dispensing system.
9. In the FmXP Jog Commands dialog box, click on both the slow
and the fast X-axis
jog buttons to move the conveyor belts in both directions.
! The conveyor belts should move smoothly in both directions with no slipping on their
pulleys.
10. If necessary, tension the conveyor belts as described in 7.10 Tensioning the Conveyor Belts.
