MOTOR BELT TENSION
TO CHECK:
1.
If the motor belt tension is too tight or too loose, it may cause belt noise.
If motor belt tension is too tight it may cause the machine to run slowly and overload the
motor.
If motor belt tension is too loose it may cause the belt teeth on the motor pulley to jump.
2.
The correct motor belt tension is achieved when the belt pushes in about 7mm- 9mm under
a pressure of about 300 grams (C).
Adjustment procedure:
1.
Remove the belt cover (See page 3).
2.
Loosen set screw (A) and (B).
3.
Move the motor up or down to adjust the deflection to about 7mm- 9mm.
4.
Tighten set screws (A) and (B).
5.
Attach the belt cover.
