The problem is the opposite of what they show. I took the belt off and now I’m trying to reattach it. The staff at GF gave two options. Option one is the traditional way which is the preferred method which is as you know getting it on the left pulley as in the video you linked to me. I am having real trouble getting that to work. The second option is loosening the right pulley given enough slack I guess and the putting the belt on and then tighten the pulley and hoping you get the tension right. The photos you show me now assumes the belt is already on and you are either needing to either tighten or loosening the belt. My question if I loosen the pulley will it move to the left so I can put the belt on? I am looking for photos of that process or more tips on putting on the belt on the left.
Oh, now I understand…the belt doesn’t need to be on it for you to loosen that pulley. Put a mirror on the bed so you can see what’s going on under there, reach in and loosen the pulley. Slide it about 1/4" to the left, it slides in a little slot. Put the belt on, it will be easy at that point. Then slide the pulley all the way to the right and tighten it back up. Yes it does slide in a slot on the right side.
I got the belt back on! Now stuck on scanning. One thing or the other. Cleaned all the lenses, turned off and on. I will troubleshoot more tomorrow. Thank you for your help!
