Parts:

  • the B belt · already on the bench

Do:

  1. Take the B belt end left along the X extrusion, below A, to the left XY joint.
  2. Wrap it 90° round the joint's lower, toothed idler, teeth meshing, so it runs forward along the left Y extrusion.

check Check

B's teeth centred on the toothed idler, A on the plain stack directly above with a visible gap, and B leaves heading forward, no twist.

What you're looking at

B goes in one plane below A and the other way round the frame: both belts leave the left carriage half heading left, so B's first turn is the left XY joint — the one A merely passed on its way back — and its last is the right joint. The manual's B pages (p.136 → p.137 → p.138) run in exactly this order.

The left XY joint, one plane down. Below the plain F695 pair that A already wraps sits the joint's toothed 20T idler: B's first turn is on it, teeth meshing, turning the belt from X to forward down the left Y extrusion.
