TAIL DRIVE BELT CONNECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
Engage the tail drive belt over the front pulley. Be
certain to note the correct rotation (shown below).
Set the belt tension per the directions below.
Secure bolts completly after adjusting the tail
belt, making sure that the tail output shaft is
exactly 90° to the main rotor shaft.
Rotate the tail drive belt in the direction shown before
installing it onto the front pulley. It is extremely
important to install the belt in the proper direction to
insure correct rotation of the tail rotor blades.
Belt tension should be set so when pressing with your
finger, the sides of the belt do not come in contact with
each other. If unsure, it is always better to set the belt
tension too tight than too loose.
Insert the tail boom assembly into
the rear of the frame as shown.
Note: Check to make sure that
the belt is not twisted inside the
boom prior to insertion.
Do not fully tighten bolts at this time.
These will be tightened in Step 1-2.
