10. Tie a single overhand knot into the string. Leave 1-1.5” (25-38mm) of slack past the
knot. Tighten the knot as small as possible (using the knot tensioner tool if you have
one).
11. Cut the end of the string ¼-inch (6mm) below the knot. Melt the string tip and press it
into the knot.
12. Slide the string back through the pin. Seat the plug securely in the head of the pin
and remove the screw that was used to remove the plug. Keep the string tight while
sliding it through the pin to avoid the string being pinched/tangled inside the pin.
13. Once the plug is inserted into the pin, hold the pin up by the string and check to make
sure the pin spins freely in both directions.
14. Unspool approximately the same amount of string that was cut off for the repair from
that pin’s string take-up reel.
15. Once the repairs have been finished, remove LOTO restraints, close the Main Power
circuit breaker on the control chassis, and perform the string adjustment procedure
(Procedure 2-2).
Procedure 2-6, Adjusting the Ball Accelerator V-Belt Tension
Caution: This part of the machine can start automatically and without warning.
Correct V-belt tension results in a deflection of 3/8 to 1/2” with 5 pounds of pressure on
the middle of the belt.
1. Disconnect power to the Ball Accelerator motor by unplugging the Main Power
connector from the top of the Chassis.
2. Loosen the lock nut on the adjusting screw and adjust the screw to raise or lower the
motor assembly which will tighten or loosen the belt. Retighten the lock nut.
3. When adjustment is complete, plug in the Main Power connector.
