ALIGNING PULLEYS,
ASSEMBLING BELT AND
ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
Using a straight edge (A) Fig. 6, make certain the motor
pulley (B) is aligned with the arbor pulley. If necessary,
the motor pulley (B) can be adjusted on the motor shaft
by loosening set screw (C) and moving the motor pulley
(B) in or out as needed. The motor (E) can also be moved
in or out along the mounting bars (F) by loosening the
four mounting screws, two of which are shown at (G) and
moving the motor (E).
Assemble the drive belt (H) Fig. 7 to the arbor pulley and
motor pulley (B). Adjust for proper belt tension by raising or
lowering motor (E) on motor mounting posts (J) (one is
shown), by loosening four mounting nuts, two of which are
shown at (K). If necessary, the motor mounting bars (F) can
be repositioned on two mounting posts (J).
NOTE: MAKE
CERTAIN BOTH PULLEYS ARE KEPT IN ALIGNMENT
WHEN ADJUSTING BELT TENSION.
Correct belt tension
is obtained when there is approximately one inch deflection
in the center span of the belt using light finger pressure.
IMPORTANT: BE CERTAIN TO TIGHTEN ALL
MOUNTING HARDWARE ONCE FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
ARE MADE.

ASSEMBLING BELT GUARD
Assemble the belt guard (A) to the stand, as shown in
Fig. 8. Align the holes in the belt guard with the holes on
the machine. Place 1/4" flat washer on a 1/4-20-1/2"
round head screw, insert screw through hole in belt
guard and hole in machine. Thread a 1/4-20 hex nut onto
screw and tighten securely. Repeat this process for the
remaining hole.
