Parts: none.

Do:

  1. Put p.126 and p.127 beside the machine and walk both loops.
  2. Nudge the belt at each motor pulley and watch it index rather than slip.
  3. Sight down every straight run: teeth the same way at both ends.

check Check

Teeth on both motor pulleys and the two toothed XY-joint idlers, smooth back on every plain stack, no half-twist, belts stacked not crossed, pulleys free.

helperHelper Reads out each stop on the loop from p.126 and p.127 while you check it on the machine.

What you're looking at

Two complete loops, still open at the carriage: the last moment when a mis-route costs minutes rather than an hour. Four things get tested: teeth on the toothed wheels, smooth back on every plain stack, no half-twist, belts stacked not crossed.
