Belt Replacement
NOTE: It is very important to replace all belts at the same time!
If the drive belts have to be replaced, follow the procedure from “Drive Belt
Tension” through Step 6. When the point is reached, release the belt from
tension by fully unscrewing the tie rods. Slip off the belts and replace them
with new ones. Continue with the procedure for adjusting the belt tension.
Removal and Replacement of the Screen

1. Switch the machine OFF and lock out power by turning the disconnect
switch or remove the fuses from the main control panel.
2. Open the front panel.
3. Remove the bin.
