Hi guys. I have a couple questions to throw out too regarding the c901 fuser belts. First we are rebuilding both our fusers, the first one we did and have been running for roughly 1000 impressions, but now the belt is already fraying on the edges. See the picture attached of the belt. This usually begins to happen when the belt is very near life end, but you will see this in every print 12x18 where solid color rolls over this mark.
I rebuilt this fuser the same as I did before but have never seen this happen so quickly. Stocks run were all in paper catalog and nothing too crazy.
Is there a way to tighten or loosen the pressure on the fuser belt to avoid these issues in the future? We run heavy cover stock 90% of the time and we will wear a belt out quicker than normal, but 1000 clicks is ridiculous! I have not finished rebuilding the other fuser yet, so wanted to get your opinions here before finishing it up.
That leads to the second question: See my other posted pic of the second fuser we have. As I was putting it back together and gave a test spin before reassembling, I heard this which sounds like it is coming from this gear. None of the gear look worn out, but this gear seems to be jumping randomly and it has me concerned to put it in the machine. Here's a link to the video to hear and see this sound for reference:
Any thoughts on both of these issues would be greatly appreciated!
