Lower Spreader Drive Belt Tension
Adjustment
Over time, the lower spreader drive belts will
stretch due to normal wear. Adjust tension on a
belt when it appears loose or begins to skip on the
timed pulleys. Both conditions cause excessive
wear on the belt and shorten its life.
Required Tools
9/16” wrench
Perform only when the unit is OFF
with power disconnected.
Turn power OFF at the main disconnect
switch.
As appropriate, open the right or left
endframe door to access the belt to be
adjusted.
Tension on the belt is adjusted by moving
the spreader belt drive motor (Figure 7-28,
A) in its slotted mounting holes:
Loosen the nuts securing the motor
bolts.
Move the motor to increase tension on
the belt (Figure 7-28, B).
When tension on the belt is adequate,
tighten the nuts.
Close and secure the endframe door.
Start the unit and feed several items to
verify the adjustment is correct.
Readjust as necessary.
