Loosen bolts “B” and “C”. (See
Figure 36
)
•
Place a scale at the midway point of the
double v-belts on the pulleys.
•
Adjust bolt “A” (See
Figure 36
) until 15
pounds of pull on the scale raises the top
of one double v-belt approximately ¼ inch
above the top of the remaining belts. (See
Figure 38
)
Figure 36 - Belt Tension Adjustment (Shields
Removed for Clarity).
•
All 4 belts should have the average of ¼
inch deflection at 15-18 pounds.
•
Loosen bolts “E” and “F”. (See
Figure 37
)
•
Loosen idler bolt “G”
•
Adjust bolt “H” until Hammer mill Jack
Shaft “D” is parallel to Hammer mill
Housing. Measure both sides
•
Tighten bolts “B”, “C”, “E”, and “F”. Lock
