Pulley Adjustment

closing or decreased by opening the adjustable motor sheave. Two groove variable pitch pulleys must be
adjusted to an equal number of turns open or closed. Any increase in speed represents a substantial
increase in horsepower required by the unit. Motor amperage should always be checked to avoid serious
damage to the motor when the speed is varied. Always torque set screws according to the
