Air Hose Installation
Push your air supply hose onto the air pressure regulator
inlet fitting, and clamp it in place with a hose clamp as
shown in Figure 10. If you prefer, you can replace the
included air nozzle with a 3 ⁄
8
" male quick connect air
coupling.
When the air hose is installed, pull up and rotate the
regulator air pressure knob until the gauge reads 70 PSI
then push down. DO NOT attempt to regulate the air
pressure with the ON/OFF air supply lever. This lever is
the ON/OFF air pressure to the machine only.
Sanding Belt Installation
Before installing belt, clean the protective grease from
the upper metal sanding belt roller as per the Cleaning
Machine instructions on Page 13.
To install the sanding belt, do these steps:
1. TURN OFF and LOCK your master power switch, but
keep the air pressure going into the machine.
2. Turn and remove the lever and support spacer as
shown in Figure 11.
3. Install the sanding belt so the belt is centered in
the fork (see Figure 12a), and the belt arrows are
pointing in the direction of drum rotation (see Figure
12).
4. Center the belt on the rollers.
5. Reinstall the support spacer and lever.
6. Turn the belt tension knob to the 12:00 position and
the belt will automatically tighten to the correct
tension. At the 9:00 position the belt will have no
tension.
