• Checking Belt Tension

When loaded with material, the conveyor belt must not slip, i.e. stand still when material is loaded. If the

belt slips, it must be tightened. Contact the Formax Service Department for assistance.

• Checking Belt for Wear

The upper surface of the conveyor belt can become worn over time. The belt must be replaced when

the woven fabric inlay becomes visible. Contact the Formax Service Department for assistance.

• Cleaning the Conveyor Belt area

The conveyor belt area must be cleaned once a month, or as needed to maintain optimal performance.

1. Switch off the shredder and unplug from wall outlet.

2. Remove the covers on both sides, revealing the cleaning openings in the conveyor belt area.

3. Use compressed air to blow out particles, or a vacuum to remove dirt and dust.

4. Re-install side covers.

NOTE: Paper clips in the shredded materials may increase the frequency of cleaning necessary, and may

become caught in the sides of the belt.
