You saved my ass tonight with this video. Manager nor other techs showed me how to use the belt weld kit so I, no joke, have been doing it by hand and a vice. 😅 I think a majority of don’t know how to use it, besides the manager and his brown noser complainer. I’ve been here 3yrs

Interesting. Just started a job at a local alley which operates the GSX and this was interesting to learn

Thanks for watching! It means a lot to me. Some of these videos will be about GSX equipment. I work on A2 machines, arcade games, and some commercial kitchen equipment. The goal is to try to share what I have learned.

I have experience when we weld a belt sometimes the belt will just break even if the iron is very hot
@michaelbuckley3808

If you push the ends together with too much force, it will push the molten urethane to the surface of the belt. Then, when you trim the belt, the weld will be very weak.

Great video! One question for you sir. Do you cut your green belts into the length the manual says? I did some welding today just like you. There was no way in hell i could've done it using the recommended length. I had to cut them alot longer, like 850 mm instead of 790 mm. What am I doing wrong?

I think I answered my on question watching the full video. So you are supposed to weld the green belt together off the wheels and then force it back on using a tool?
@michaelbuckley3808

Yes. The belt will need to be stretched back on the pullies. I like to use the pointy end of the Brunswick spud wrench for most of these applications. However, an open-end 13mm or 1/2 inch wrench can pretty handy! The next time I weld a corner belt, I will be sure to use the wrench as an install tool.

@@michaelbuckley3808 Cool thx for the answer! This explains why I had to use a longer belt! Still works for the time being, but I sure will shorten it before it malfunctions!

Hi I work at a 40 lane center with 20 year old gsx machines. The last month we have been averaging between 5 and 6 belt breaks a week. These belts are the long green belts and going around corner green belts. Watching your video the only thing u do different then us is the tool u use to smooth the weld off. Do u think this might be our issue ??? Any help would be appreciated
@michaelbuckley3808

The quality of the weld is what really matters. The weld will be weaker if you push the two welded ends together with too much force. It pushes all the melted urethane out to the surface of the belt. Then, when you trim it, the weld is weaker. The trim tool PN: 47-860009-000 makes quick work of trimming the belts. It gives you consistent results, but weld strength is probably the underlying issue.

Nice video, one question, how do you find the small pieces you cut off from the green belts? For example at kzitem.info/news/bejne/mp-erYOaqappln4. I did the same thing today at the bowling alley I work in, and those small pieces are still gone xD!
