If the tension of the timing belt drops, it may cause vibration and misalignment.

Please manage the timing belt by performing inspection periodically.

 

 Before inspecting the timing belt, make sure that the controller and external powers are in the OFFstate. Also, take measures to prevent the controller and external powers from being turned “ON” accidentally by other people.

 

 

n  Diagnostics

 

     Shake the tool to check for clearance.

     Open the wrist cover and check the belt for breakage or damage.

    If there is clearance due to the belt tension drop, adjust the tension to keep it at a proper level.

    If the belt is found to be damaged, replace the belt immediately. Carry out a replacement in compliance with “5.4 Replacing the timing belt.”

    Please be advised that dust may be generated initially after the timing belt is replaced.
