Toothed belt tension
Caution: Danger of injury !
Switch off the main switch.
Check and adjust the toothed belt tension only with the sewing unit
switched off.
Standard checking
Over the tightening length S= 300 mm the toothed belt must bend
under the test load FV = 34 N until the upper belt just touches the
lower one.
Consequences of a too high toothed belt tension
–
Reduced durability
–
Noisy running
Consequences of a too low toothed belt tension
–
No faultless meshing between belt teeth and disc toothing
–
The teeth may skip over under load
–
Non-uniform stitch lengths
–
Loss of steps possible
–
Unscrew screws 7 and take off the covering cap 6.
–
Place the test load in the middle of the toothed belt (e.g. with the
help of a spring balance).
The tension of the toothed belt is correct when the upper belt half
just touches the lower one.
