Instructions
The long belt allows QuiltMotion to move horizontally across the frame. Take the following steps to tension the long belt across the frame:
- Turn the locking knob of the belt tensioner counter-clockwise to loosen and remove both the locking knob and the ratchet knob.
- Attach the tensioner to the right side of the frame so the curve points down. Secure with two M5 x 10 mm SBHCS and the 3 mm Allen wrench.
- Screw the ratchet and locking knobs back onto the tensioner.
- Place the bottom carriage on its right side so that the channel lock is behind the rear track.
- Cut the tape that is holding the long belt coils together and unroll several inches of each end of the belt.
- 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, making sure the end of the belt goes past the bottom of the clamp. Use two M5 x 20 mm SBHCS and the 4 mm Allen wrench to attach the front belt clamp.
- 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.
