Belt Tensioning Instructions (continued)
- Place the belt tension indicator on top of the belt at the centre of the span. Apply a
force at right angles to the belt deflecting it to the point where the lower marker ring
is level with the top of the adjacent belt.
- Read off the force value indicated by the top edge of the marker ring.
- Compare this force to the kilogram force value in the table above.
- If a Belt Tension Indicator is not available, a spring balance and rule will suffice.
IMPORTANT
After the drive has been running for approximately four (4) hours, the tension should be
checked and, if necessary, readjusted to the higher value.
After the drive has been running for approximately 48 hours the tension should again be
checked and readjusted.
Pulley alignment instruction
Proper alignment is essential to maintain long belt and pulley life.
Pulley misalignment should not exceed 0.01mm per 10mm or 1mm per 1000mm of
span for satisfactory service.
NOT THIS WAY
