Pulley Alignment
Pulley alignment is another important factor in
power transmission and belt life. The pulleys
should be parallel to each other and in the same
plane (coplaner) for optimum performance.
Each pulley can be adjusted by loosening the
motor mount fasteners, sliding the motor in or out,
and retightening the fasteners to lock the motor
pulley in place.

Figure 56) and check to make sure that
they are aligned and that the V-belt is straight
up and down (see
Figure 57).
