Tighten/Replacing the Drive Belt
Over time, the drive belt will stretch and may start to slip. At this point, the drive belt must be
tensioned or replaced. The drive belt should be inspected monthly; if tears are discovered, the
drive belt must be replaced.
Disconnect and lockout power to the machine! 1.
Remove the access cover on the back of the 2.
machine.
Loosen the 4 motor mounting bolts (A) enough so 3.
that the mounting plate will slide up and down as
needed.


Loosen the hand knob (B) enough so that the
motor plate may be lifted the full travel in the
mounting slots.

Work the belts, one at a time, off of the motor
pulley and remove the belt from the upper
pulley.


Allow the weight of the motor to hang down on
the belts and turn the hand knob until any free
travel in the adjustment threads is just removed.

Check the belt tension. The belts should deflect
approximately 1/4” - 3/8” (6 - 10mm) with
moderate pressure at the mid-run of the belts.
When the belts tension is correct, hold the motor in 6.
position and tighten the 4 mounting bolts.
