Technical Tips
Alligator® Lacing Teeth Do Not Fully Penetrate Belt and Clinch Over:
Be sure to use a soft piece of wood under the fastener when first applying lacing. This allows the teeth to fully penetrate the belt.
Ensure the following installation procedures have been followed NOTE: Steps 1-4 are performed using the soft piece of wood as a backing plate.
- From top side of belt, install end two teeth on both belt edges halfway in.
- Flip belt over and install fastener teeth on bottom side of belt halfway in across entire splice width.
- Flip belt back over and finish installing remaining teeth on top side of belt.
- Repeat on bottom side of belt.
- Use a hardened steel plate and final set the lacing.
