Figura 13
Figure 14
Figure 15
1-
Figure 13 (A, B or C) shows the three correct ways to grip the gauge so that the pressure is applied only on the
pressure pad
.
2-Reset the
indicator arm
by lowering it completely as indicated in figure 14.
3-Position the tension gauge on the taut side of the belt, with the part resting of the
indicator arm
set
at the mid-point between the pulleys, as indicated in figure 15.
Check gauge alignment ensuring that it is parallel with the belt branch.
4-Press slowly on the
pressure pad
.
When you hear a “click”, immediately stop and remove the tension gauge; this must be done very
carefully to prevent compromising the measurement reading taken by the
indicator arm
.
5-Read the tension on the indicator arm as shown in figure 13.
