D-Blower Belt Adjustment
Maximum life and wear can be obtained from belts only if
proper pulley alignment and belt tension are maintained.
Tension new belts after a 24-48 hour period of operation.
This will allow belt to stretch and seat into pulley grooves.
Make sure blower and motor pulley are aligned. See figure
16 for blowers not equipped with a tensioner and figure 17
for units equipped with an optional belt tensioner.
Blowers Without Belt Tensioner
