ASSEMBLING AND
ALIGNING V-BELT;
ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
1. Using a straight edge, align motor pulley (A) Fig. 7, to
the driven pulley (B). If necessary, both pulleys can be
adjusted inward or outward. The motor (C) can also be
adjusted on the motor mounting bars (D).
2. Assemble the V-belt (E) Fig. 7, to pulleys (A) and (B)
and adjust the belt tension by raising or lowering the
motor (C) on the motor mounting bars (D). If necessary,
the motor mounting bars (D) can be repositioned on two
vertical posts (F).
NOTE: Make certain the pulleys are
kept in alignment when doing this. Correct belt tension is
obtained when there is approximately 1 deflection, using
light finger pressure at the centerspan of the pulleys.
