Larry provides a detailed guide on how to properly track the belt on the G0458Z drum sander. He starts by loosening all bolts to remove tension from the belt and ensures there's movement on both sides. Then, he tightens the bolts manually by hand and adds tension until they stop on both sides. Larry emphasizes lifting up on the rollers to ensure the belt tracks properly and locks the bolts in place once the belt is flat. He then lifts up on the rollers again, locks the nuts, and marks the belt for tracking purposes. During the tracking process, Larry adjusts tension based on the belt's movement and uses a mark on the belt to monitor tracking. He advises making small adjustments and letting the machine run for 10-15 minutes to check the belt's movement. Larry concludes by mentioning that if tracking issues persist, the motor may need adjustment and explains the process for moving the motor inward. He thanks viewers for following along and encourages them to make some sawdust.
