Product Usage Instructions
- Attach the SR2+ QM Belt Bracket to the right side of the frame
using two M6 x 10 mm SBHCS and the 4 mm Allen wrench. Use the small
holes on the bottom of the bracket. - Attach the tensioner to the larger holes in the SR2+ QM belt
bracket using two M6 x 10 mm hex bolts and two M6 hex nuts. Tighten
with the 10 mm open-end wrench. - Place the bottom carriage on its right side on the frame. Do
not align the wheels with the tracks at this time. - Cut the tape that is holding the long belt coils together and
unroll several inches of each end of the belt. - Attach the other SR2+ QM Belt Bracket to the left side of the
frame using two M6 x 10 mm SBHCS and the 4 mm Allen wrench. Use the
smaller holes in the bracket. - Use the two M6 x 20 mm SBHCS to attach the front belt clamp,
long belt, and back belt clamp to the bracket. - Secure 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 10 mm open-end wrench to loosen the bolts that
attach the clamp and tensioner to the brackets. Adjust the clamp
and tensioner on the bracket until the belt is straight and then
re-tighten the bolts. - Align the machine wheels and continue onto Part Two of your
