Optional Method:
1) De-couple the Y-axis belt from the bearing
cart, as above.
2) Tape the upper end of the existing belt to
one end of the new belt. Use heavy-duty
strapping tape, and tape the ends together
in alignment. Try to maintain equal belt
tooth spacing in the gap between the ends
of the belt.
3) Slowly, but firmly pull the lower end of the existing belt upward from the lower
reversing unit, as you feed the spliced ends of the old/new belts into the top
reversing unit. Use a metal ruler to help guide the tip of the new belt around the
reversing unit pulleys.
4) Continue pulling the belt out until the spliced area comes out of the bottom reversing
unit. Remove the tape from the belts, and re-couple the ends of the new belt to the
reversing unit. (See above)
