Inspection & Maintenance
•
Belt tension check:
–
Place a straight edge along the belt from sheave to sheave as
shown in
Figure 3a
, or use a tape measure as shown in
Figure
3b
to measure belt deflection.
–
Apply a moderate force by hand (approximately 2kg) evenly
across the width of the belt in the centre of the span between
the sheaves.
–
There is adequate belt tension if the belt deflects between 6mm
and 9mm as shown in
Figures 3a
and
3b
.

Belt tension adjustment (if required):
1. Loosen the motor pulley guard retaining nuts.
2. Loosen the lock nuts on the Motor Base Adjusting Screws.
3. Turn the Motor Base Adjusting Screws clockwise to tension the
belt, or counterclockwise to relieve belt tension. During adjustment
of belt tension the drives should be rotated several times by hand
to evenly distribute the tension throughout the belt.
4. When the belt is properly tensioned, retighten the locking nuts
on the Motor Base Adjusting Screws.
5. Tighten guard nuts.
Note: There should be no “chirp” or “squeal” when the fan motor is started.
