GRINDER MIXER ADJUSTMENTS
Figure 38 - Checking Belt Tension
IMPORTANT:
Proper alignment of the pulleys must
be maintained when adjusting belt tension.
Belts should be checked periodically for proper
tension and alignment, especially when the
machine is new or when a new set of belts are
installed (See Figure 39). During operation, if the
drive belts are very hot or are smoking due to being
loose, do not shut off the machine, but stop grinding
and allow the mill to continue to run for several
minutes until the belts have cooled. After the belts
have cooled, stop the machine to re-tension the
belts.
