Assembling the Conveyor Belt
1. The conveyor belt may be rolled up in the
dishwasher. In either case the installation is the
same.
2. Start at the unload end of the machine and pull
the conveyor belt around the end sprockets until
approximately 1-1/2 feet of belt rests on the
upper track of the dishwasher.
3. Pull a section of belt from the next section along
the upper track into the unload end.
4. Join the belt sections together
by feeding a conveyor rod through the links,
spacers, and rollers. Install a cotter pin on each
end of the rod to secure the assembly.
Refer to an assembled rod section on the belt for
parts arrangement.
5. Continue this procedure until the conveyor belt is
a complete loop.
6. The take-up assemblies are located on either
side of the load end conveyor shaft.
7. Adjust the conveyor belt tension at the load end.
Loosen the adjusting bolt locknuts then turn the
adjusting bolts CW to tighten the belt.
8. Make sure the belt tension is even on both sides.
9. Check the slack of the lower portion of the belt.
The lower belt must not sag. Continue to adjust
belt tension as you manually remove lower belt
slack until
the lower slack is minimized.
10. Check the belt tension by lifting the upper
conveyor belt at the unload end.
11. Adjust the clutch assembly when the belt is
adjusted.
12. Tighten the adjusting bolt locknuts on each take-
up assembly to hold the belt tension adjustment.
