pulley edge to the drum support casting to use as a
reference when reinstalling pulleys so they will be
properly aligned.
4. Replace bearings by following Steps 1 through 4
under Bearing Replacement (Left Side) above
(Fig. 41-44).
5. Reinstall V-belt pulleys on the drum shafts,
making sure they are located in the same position
as before. Doublecheck this alignment after the
drums have been bolted back in place, using the
measurement from Step 3 above.
6. Lower the drums by removing the 2x6. Reinstall
the six 3/8" x 1 1/4" bolts in the drum support
castings and tighten them. Install the on/off switch
and depth gauge with the two inboard bolts.
Reassembly Procedure
1. Lower the conveyor and spin the drums by
hand to make sure the drum shaft is not binding
in the bearing. If the bearings bind, loosen the set
screws and the bearing flange for one bearing at a
time. Spin the drum within the collar, then tighten
the set screws and then the bearing flange (Fig.
40).
2. Next, check the alignment of the drums to the

conveyor system. (For instructions on this proce-
dure, see pages 7 and 8 of this manual.) Make sure
the drums are parallel to each other.
3. Reinstall the V-belt on the motor pulley and
adjust its tension. Then reinstall the pulley guard.
4. Test-run the sander before sanding stock to re-
check that all is operating properly and is aligned
before sanding good stock. Also, stop the sander
after a couple hours of use and check the bolts and
set screws to make sure they are seated properly.
