WARNING:
Oven conveyor belt must be cool for
adjusting tension. DO NOT adjust belt when
HOT.
1. Check the belt tension by lifting the conveyor belt
(Figure 4-16). (The conveyor assembly can either be in
or out of the oven.) The belt should not lift more than 3"
to 4" (75 to 100 mm).
2. Adjust the conveyor belt tension screws (located on
the right end of the conveyor assembly) for the proper 3"
to 4" (75 to 100 mm) deflection.
3. If the conveyor belt tension screws do not allow the
conveyor belt to have the proper tension, at least one
entire link must be removed. Use the following procedure
("E. Conveyor belt link removal") to remove a link.
When conveyor belt is under proper tension, proceed
directly to "F. Conveyor reassembly into oven".

1. Remove an entire conveyor belt link by positioning the
belt's master links near the end of the conveyor belt , as
