Conveyor Height
Conveyor height is controlled by turning the
handwheel shown in
Figure 13 . A scale is locat-
ed near the handwheel for gauging conveyor
movement. The scale is marked in millimeters
and inches.
Figure 14 demonstrates how the
handwheel movement affects the conveyor.
After you have moved the conveyor to the desired
height, lock it in place with the conveyor lock han-
dle shown in
Figure 13 .

Feed Belt Speed
The feed belt motor (shown in Figure 15 with the
cover removed) controls the speed of the feed
belt. The Model G9983 features speeds of 13.1
FPM and 16.4 FPM.
Figure 15. This is the feed belt motor. Place the
chain on either of the sprockets and the feed
belt will travel at the speed shown.
To change feed belt speeds:
1. Unplug the sander!
2. Remove the cap screw that secures the feed
belt motor cover.
3. Loosen the for motor mount bolts so that the
motor will slide up enough to get the chain off
the sprockets.
4. Determine which speed is best for your appli-
cation and place the chain on either set of
the sprockets shown in
Figure 15 .
5. Replace the motor cover and secure it with
the cap screw.
