3. Remove the (4) screws from the rear roller guards and remove them.

13. Set belt at the center of the front and rear rollers. Tighten the tension bolts to the number of turns counted at removal. If no counts were taken, tighten bolts until the middle stretch of the belt is tight between the rollers.
14. Set proper tension by applying ¼ turn to each tension bolt and rotating between bolts at each turn.
15. Once proper tension is set, adjust the tracking of the belt.
16. Update your maintenance menu to reflect the services performed.
