Sanding Adjustment Procedures
To decrease the travel or reduce the reach on the
grip control follow this procedure:
1. Loosen the locknut on the control rod.
(See figure 20A)
2. Screw the control rod adjuster"out" until
desired reach is found.
3. Tighten the locknut.
Routine Maintenance
The following items need to be periodically inspected
and maintained to keep your sander in good working
condition.
Sanding Chamber
Periodically blow out the sanding chamber to prevent
large accumulations of debris which could interfere
with the performance of the tension roller.
Wheels
Periodically remove the debris from the truck and
caster wheels. Debris can cause waves on a sanded
surface.
Dust Bag
Remove the dust bag from the machine and shake it
thoroughly to remove the sanding dust from the dust
bag. Turn the dust bag inside out and machine wash
in cold water to prevent pore blockage and loss of
dust recovery.
Drive Belt
Drive belt tension is factory set and should not require
adjustment. Periodically check the drive belt tension.
Proper belt tension is achieved when 10 lbs. of force
at the mid-span of the belt produces ½ inch of
deflection.
To increase belt tension, release tension using quick
release lever (See Figure 6).
Turn the adjustment screw "OUT" (See Figure 21) one
quarter turn. Restore tension using quick release
lever and check adjustment. Repeat this process if
necessary. To lower tension, the adjustment screw is
turned "IN".
