roller Belt Replacement
Note: If the feed-roller belt is to be replaced, steps
1–5 must be performed to remove the cutterhead
drive belt before the feed-roller belt can be
replaced.
7. Place the power feed handle (J) in the down
(off/disengaged) position, which provides belt
slack for the next step.
8. Remove the feed-roller belt (G) from around
the feed-roller pulley (K) and motor pulley (M).
9. Loop the new belt around the smaller (inner)
motor pulley (M) and feed-roller pulley (K).
Note: The lower stretch of the feed-roller
pulley must be positioned between the belt-
brake plates (N).
Concluding Steps
10. Replace the cutterhead drive belt (F) by
looping it around the cutterhead pulley (E),
then the larger (outside) motor pulley (M)
11. Slide the motor so that the mounting screws
(L) rest back in the vertical slot openings, then
tighten the mounting screws.
12. Replace the lower back panel (P) and secure
with four button head socket screws (O).
13. Replace the upper back panel (D) and secure
with two button head socket screws (C).

10.8 Feed roller height adjustment
Refer to Figure 15.
The height of the infeed and outfeed rollers has
been set by the manufacturer for planing
operations. If this setting should ever need
adjustment, it is done using the screw and nut
(A
1
,A
2
, Figure 15) at each end of the rollers.
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Remove the covers from front and back of the
machine.
3. At the back, remove the chain and sprockets
from their shafts.
4. Loosen the hex nut (A
1
) and rotate the screw
(A
2
) as needed to raise or lower that end of
the roller. NOTE: Feed rollers must remain
parallel to the table, and about 1/32” below the
cutting arc of the knives or knife inserts.
5. Adjust any of the four screw/nut assemblies as
needed.
Figure 15
6. Use a gauge on the planer table to verify the
height of the rollers in relation to the cutterhead.
7. When settings are correct, tighten the hex nuts
(A
1
) up against the casting.
8. Make test cuts to verify the setting.
