Tension Screw
Carefully place the X/Z Carriage on its back (resting on
the motor) as shown in the image below. Slide the Z
Carriage all the way to the top until it stops at the two
posts shown in the image below.
Ensure that you have only nger-tightened the Idler
Assembly before tightening the Tensioning Screw.
Use the hex wrench to tighten the Tensioning Screw as
shown in the image below. As the Tensioning Screw is
tightened, it will push on the Idler Assembly.
The belt should be tight enough that it doesn’t slip o
the Idler and does not ex as the carriage moves up
and down.
