• Rotate the drive-belts one complete turn.
WARNING! Pinch risk between pulleys and drive-belts.
• Check the motor size, kilowatt (kW) and hertz (Hz) in the wiring diagram.
• Check the belt tension by loading each drive-belt
with 75 N in the mid-way between the cutter and
motor pulleys.
Measure the deflection in mm. at the same time.
• The table below shows how much it should be
possible to deflect the drive belts.
Motor 50 Hz
18.5/22 kW
30/37 kW
45/55 kW
It should by a load of 75 N be possible to deflect the drive-belts max:
When installing a new belt

14 mm
15 mm
When re-check (6 months)
19 mm
19 mm
19 mm
Motor 60 Hz
