Instructions
The long belt allows Quilt Motion to move horizontally across the frame. Take the following steps to tension the long belt across the frame:
- Place the tensioner on the right side of the frame so the curve points down. Attach with the two M6 x 55 mm hex bolts.
- Slide the two M6 hex nuts on the ends of the two M6 x 30 hex bolts. Tighten with the 10 mm open-end wrench.
- Place the bottom carriage on its right side on the frame. Do not align with the wheels with the tracks at this time.
- Cut the tape that is holding the long belt coils together.
- Lay the carriage flat with the wheels on the tracks and finish unrolling the long belt.
- Place the back belt clamp on the left side of the frame so that the holes align with the holes in the frame.
- Drape the long belt over the back belt clamp past the bottom of the clamp. Use two M6 x 55 mm Hex Bolts to attach the front belt clamp.
- Fasten the clamp in place using two M6 hex nuts and the 10 mm open-end wrench.
- Feed the other end of the long belt into the top of the belt tensioner on the right side of the frame.
- Turn the ratchet knob to pull the extra belt length through the tensioner until the belt is tight across the frame. Turn the locking knob to lock it in place.
- Once the belt is tight, slide the bottom carriage across the frame. Watch the belt closely for any bowing.
- If the belt is bowing, use the 4 mm Allen wrench to loosen the shoulder screws that attach the wheel bases to the carriage. Adjust the carriage on the wheel bases until the belt is straight and then re-tighten the shoulder screws.
