Swapping Motors
If you have already assembled your V-Motion Lite with one motor and want to swap it with
another one, you can do this pretty quickly following the instructions below:
1. Slightly loosen one of the Knobs holding the Belt, just enough so you can move the T-
Nut towards the center of the slider. This will decrease tension, allowing you to
disengage the belt from the Toothed Pulley on the motor’s shaft.
2. Use a 3mm Hex Key to remove the two screws connecting the carriage to the V-Motion
Motor plate.
3. Swap the motors and reverse the entire procedure: screw the new motor to the carriage,
engage the Belt on the Toothed Pulley, adjust tension by moving the T-Nut towards the
end of the rail, and screw the Knob until the T-Nut is locked in place. Do not exert
excessive force when screwing the knob, as it’s unnecessary and may damage your
belt.
